Title: Active guarding for reduction of resistive and capacitive signal loading with adjustable control of compensation level
Inventor: IRONSTONE JOEL
IPC: G05F5/00
Filed: 2008-03-31
Abstract: In various embodiments, applicants' teachings are related to an active guarding circuit and method for reducing parasitic impedance signal loading on a signal-transmission channel that is shunted by a parasitic impedance. The presence of an electrical signal on the signal-transmission channel causes a leakage current to flow through the parasitic impedance. In various embodiments, the circuit comprises an amplifier and an impedance, one terminal of the impedance is coupled to the signal-transmission channel. The input of the amplifier is coupled to the signal-transmission channel and the output is coupled to the other terminal of the impedance so as to cause a compensation current to flow through the impedance. The gain of the amplifier and the value of the impedance are selected so that the compensation current has a magnitude substantially equal to the leakage current magnitude.

Abstract: An industrial vehicle has a controller connected to a plurality of sensors for accumulating information related to operation of the vehicle. The controller employs that information in governing further vehicle operation to reduce the likelihood of damage to the vehicle or a load being transported. The information also is analyzed to determine how efficiently the industrial vehicle and its operator are performing in relation to performance benchmarks for the vehicle and in comparison to other industrial vehicles. Performance of the industrial vehicle can be limited to conserve battery power and restrict recharging the battery to off-peak hours of an electrical utility. When the sensors detect a malfunction of the industrial vehicle, a fault code is produced. A service technician can use that fault code to automatically access repair manuals stored in the computer system of the vehicle and obtain information for diagnosing and correcting the malfunction.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system, method and computer program for determining constraint errors in hardware design debugging. The invention may be included as part of a complete verification solution. The method involves applying a diagnostic technique such that under-constrained problems are identified by adding a model-free error suspect or error candidate on the primary input signals (or other signals where constraints or stimuli are usually added). The present invention also provides a system, method and computer program that enables hardware design correction, consisting of the use of generating correction waveforms for identifying one or more corrections at the gate level and/or logic level of the hardware design. A number of different diagnostic techniques can be used in this way for example, include simulation-based techniques, BDD-based techniques, SAT-based techniques and path tracing. The method described can be implemented as part of a debugging computer system or computer program, including an automated debugger. The method described herein can also be implemented into a design correction engine that is operable to generate correction waveforms for each of the under constrained signals to provide to a user or automated system or computer program deeper insight for under-constrained problems.  Furthermore, under-constrained signals may be combined with one or more correction waveforms to provide a software fix or external fix to a fabricated chip by providing a value sequence that is operable to avoid an error or bug in the fabricated chip.
