Title: A sigma-delta analogue-to-digital converter with a wide linear input range
Inventor: WULFF CARSTEN
IPC: H03M3/02
Filed: 2012-02-14
Abstract: An integrated-circuit, continuous-time, sigma-delta ADC has a single-ended input Vin, a reference input Vref, and an Earth connection. The input signal is converted to a current by resistor Rin and balanced by an RC OTA integrator against a switched feedback current flowing through Rref and an offset current flowing through Roffset. The ADC is linear over a large input range and occupies a small IC area. The full-scale and mid-scale input voltages, which depend on the Rin/Rref and Roffset/Rref ratios, may be adjusted under processor control by varying the resistors Rin and Roffset. A clocked comparator CMP is connected to the integrator output and its output D controls the switch. The comparator and the OTA receive a common reference input of Vref/2. The comparator output may be fed to a counter which provides a digital output DOUT representing the proportion of cycles for which D is high.

Title: Managing power consumption in a multi-core processor
Inventor: FETZER ERIC
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2012-03-19
Abstract: A processor may include a core and an uncore area. The power consumed by the core area may be controlled by controlling the Cdyn of the processor such that the Cdyn is within an allowable Cdyn value irrespective of the application being processed by the core area. The power management technique includes measuring digital activity factor (DAF), monitoring architectural and data activity levels, and controlling power consumption by throttling the instructions based on the activity levels. As a result of throttling the instructions, throttling may be implemented in 3rd droop and thermal design point (TDP). Also, the idle power consumed by the uncore area while the core area is in deep power saving states may be reduced by varying the reference voltage VR and the VP provided to the uncore area. As a result, the idle power consumed by the uncore area may be reduced.

Title: Pulsed CO2 Laser Output-Pulse Shape And Power Control
Inventor: ROSENTHAL PETER
IPC: H01S3/104
Filed: 2013-04-05
Abstract: In order to maintain a constant laser output pulse power in a RF-energized, sealed-off, diffusion cooled, pulsed, CO2 gas-discharge laser (160), each laser output pulse is generated by train or burst of shorter RF pulses. When the time between laser output pulses (176) becomes short enough that the power in one pulse would be reduced by gas-discharge heating effects of a previous pulse, power in the RF pulse trains (164) is varied by varying the duration or duty cycle of pulses in the bursts, thereby keeping output-pulse power in the laser output pulses constant. RF pulses in any burst can have a different duration for tailoring the temporal shape of a corresponding laser-output pulse.

Title: Control strategy for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle
Inventor: CLEMENT DEXTREIT
IPC: F01N3/20
Filed: 2015-02-25
Abstract: A method of controlling a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (10 fig. 1) including an electric propulsion system (14), an engine (12), and a catalytic converter (38). The method comprises monitoring a state of charge (SoC) 68 of a battery (22) of the vehicle when in a charge depletion mode; determining a rate of depletion of the state of charge 70; estimating from the rate of depletion a duration of a depletion period that represents the time remaining until a minimum state of charge of the battery will be reached 72 and determining a duration of a warming period of the catalytic converter 78. The two figures of warming duration and depletion duration are then compared 80 with the engine being activated if the duration of the depletion period is less than or equal to the duration of the warming period 82. The exhaust gas from the engine can then warm the catalytic converter to its optimum or light-off temperature. The step of determining the warming duration may include monitoring the ambient temperature 76 and the pre-determined engine speed 74, where the engine speed may be an idle speed.
