Abstract: In a radio frequency identification (RFID) system using intelligent tags, amplitude and phase noise is minimized by using a low noise crystal oscillator (70) having an output frequency which is an integer multiple of the desired RF field frequency, then dividing this frequency using cascaded flip-flops for the frequency divider (72). Both outputs of the final stage flip-flop drive the transmitter antenna (34) to produce a continuous wave signal. Fiber optics (44) communicate analog tag response signals from the output of the receiver circuit (24) to the input of a tag response signal anlyzing module (20) including a digital signal processor (DSP 38), thus providing electrical isolation between these circuit elements, breaking ground loops, stopping internal switching noise from the DSP (38) from entering the receiver circuitry (24), and preventing common mode signals from interfering with the desired RFID tag signal.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for transmitting NRZ data signals across an interface comprising an isolation barrier disposed between two devices interconnected via a bus. The apparatus comprises a signal differentiator for receiving an NRZ data signal and outputting a differentiated signal. A driver comprising a tri-state gate has as a first input the data signal and as a second input the differentiated signal for enabling the tri-state gate when the differentiated signal is high. A bias voltage is applied to an output of the tri-state gate to derive as output a transmission signal for transmission via the bus across the interface between the two devices. In this way, the transmission signal output from the first device comprises an intermediate transmission signal corresponding to the bias voltage when the tri-state gate is disabled, a high transmission signal when the tri-state gate is enabled and the first input to the tri-state gate is high, and a low transmission signal when the tri-state gate is enabled and the first input to the tri-state gate is low. A Schmidt trigger is provided as a receiver in the second device for receiving as input the transmission signal and outputting a reconstituted data signal corresponding to the synchronized data signal.

Abstract: A temperature compensator for a pressure splitter control chamber has two members which have different thermal expansion rates, and the dimensional changes in these two members caused by temperature change affect the pressure inside the control chamber. The compensator is normally designed so that the control chamber pressure is essentially constant with temperature change, but can be designed to increase or decrease the effect of temperature change on the pressure. This temperature compensator is especially useful in a control chamber used with a pressure splitter which is used as a carburetor compensator. The resulting temperature compensated control chamber allows the pressure splitter to easily be set for use with carburetors jetted for different base altitudes.
