Patent EP-1164372-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LEE JAE SEON
IPC: G01N33/00
Filed: 2001-06-02
Abstract: There is provided a microchip-based differential-type carbon dioxide gas
sensor for detecting dissolved carbon dioxide levels. It functions with at least
one working electrode composed of an unbuffered hydrogel membrane
containing a certain amount of sodium bicarbonate and a pH-sensitive gas-permeable
membrane; and a reference electrode composed of a buffered
hydrogel membrane and a pH-sensitive gas-permeable membrane. The
unbuffered hydrogel membrane contains carbonic anhydrase, which reduces the
time period for the hydration of carbon dioxide, thereby allowing the quick
measurement of the level of carbon dioxide. In addition to being significantly
improved in stabilization, sensing, and recovering time periods, the differential-type
carbon dioxide gas sensor can be fabricated in small sizes and quickly
measure levels of carbon dioxide dissolved in sample solution.

Abstract: While a spectrum waveform of an output signal from a
subtracter (207) is visibly monitored, an operator controls
a variable phases shifter (208) based upon a second control
signal (CL2) so that a shape of a spectrum waveform of an
output signal from a subtracter (207) is approximated to a

Abstract: A method, arrangement, and system enable adaptive calibration of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) from reference signals with unknown parameter(s) that may vary (e.g., a varying frequency). An analog reference signal s(t) is supplied to an ADC to be calibrated. The output x(n) of the ADC is used by a, e.g., sine-wave reconstruction filter to reconstruct as estimate &scirc(n) of the sampled instances of the signal s(t). A recursive frequency estimator within the sine-wave reconstruction filter produces a frequency estimate of the analog reference signal s(t) from the signal x(n). An adaptive reconstruction filter uses this frequency estimate and the signal x(n) to produce the estimate &scirc(n). When a convergence detector determines that the adaptive reconstruction filter has converged, the estimate &scirc(n) is used to alter values that are stored in a correction table. During functional operation of the ADC, the correction table is used to correct the output values of the ADC.

Abstract: For use in a video image upconversion unit of the type that uses motion compensation to generate an interpolated field using motion vectors, an improved method of motion compensation is disclosed. The method performs motion compensation on a pixel and determines whether a motion vector assigned to the pixel is correct or incorrect. If the motion vector is incorrect, the method sets the value of the pixel to a previously recorded pixel value. The previously recorded pixel value is obtained by calculating for the pixel the difference between the value of a corresponding motion compensated pixel from a previous frame and the value of a corresponding motion compensated pixel from a next field. The difference is then compared with a threshold value. If the difference is less than the threshold value, then the value of the pixel is set equal to the average of the value of the corresponding motion compensated pixel from the previous frame and the value of the corresponding motion compensated pixel from the next field.

Enfin, le traitement de la sortie combinée permet de déterminer les corrections requises sur les entrées de symbole dans les différents canaux.
