Title: Digital data transmission involving the position of and duration of data pulses within transfer periods
Inventor: LESSO JOHN PAUL
IPC: H03M5/08
Filed: 2012-12-14
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for transmission of multiple digital data streams, such as digital audio data over a single communications link such as a single wire. At least two data inputs receive digital data streams (PDM-R, PDM-L), of data bits, from which a pulse generator generates single data pulses (PLM) having a rising edge and falling edge occurring within each of a plurality of transfer periods defined by a first clock signal (TCLK). The timing of the rising and falling edge of each data pulse is dependent upon on a combination of the then current data bits from the plurality of data streams. The duration and position of the data pulse in the transfer window in effect defines a data symbol encoding the data. Circuitry for receiving and extracting the data is also disclosed. An interface receives the stream of data pulses (PLM) and data extraction circuitry (202) samples the data pulse to determine which of the possible data symbols the pulse represents and determines a data value for at least one received data stream. The invention can allow for low latency data transfer, which is advantageous for noise cancellation systems.

Filed: 2012-09-14
Abstract: A method of examining a bodily function. A first set of frequency characteristics and amplitude characteristics of a first electrical signal deriving from rhythmic activity of a nerve in a living body is detected at a first condition. The nerve is stimulated to a second condition and a second set of frequency characteristics and amplitude characteristics of a second electrical signal deriving from the rhythmic activity of said nerve is detected. The fundamental frequency present in the frequency characteristics is identified. From the fundamental frequency the frequencies corresponding to a plurality of octaves of said fundamental frequency are calculated. The amplitude of said electrical signals at said octaves is identified. For said first signal a first amplitude ratio is calculated being the ratio of the amplitude difference between a first pair of said octaves, and the amplitude difference between a second pair of said octaves. For said second signal a second amplitude ratio is calculated being the ratio of the amplitude difference between said first pair of octaves, and the amplitude difference between said second pair of octaves. An octave ratio is calculated being the ratio of said first amplitude ratio to said second amplitude ratio. The octave ratio is used as a measure of said bodily function.
