Abstract: A receiver is equipped with an adaptive phase-offset controller and associated timing-calibration circuitry that together shift the timing for a data sampler and a digital equalizer. The sample and equalizer timing is shifted to a position with less residual inter-symbol interference (ISI) energy relative to the current symbol. The shifted position may be calculated using a measure of signal quality, such as a receiver bit-error rate or a comparison of filter-tap values, to optimize the timing of data recovery.

Abstract: A transceiver architecture supports high-speed communication over a signal lane that extends between a high-performance integrated circuit (IC) and one or more relatively low-performance ICs employing less sophisticated transmitters and receivers. The architecture compensates for performance asymmetry between ICs communicating over a bidirectional lane by instantiating relatively complex transmit and receive equalization circuitry on the higher-performance side of the lane. Both the transmit and receive equalization filter coefficients in the higher-performance IC may be adaptively updated based upon the signal response at the receiver of the higher-performance IC.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a cooling solution that evaluates the thermal environment of a computer component based on transient thermal responses of the computer component. The transient thermal responses are generated by measuring the temperature rise of the computer component over a designated amount of time for multiple “good” assemblies and multiple “bad” assemblies to determine a duration and allowable temperature rise needed to set a pass/fail criteria for different failure modes of cooling devices. A cooling device may not be operating as designed due to damage, needed maintenance, missing thermal interface material (TIM), improper installation, etc. From the transient thermal responses, a thermal problem, such as a malfunctioning fan, can be determined and a corrective action can be performed.

Abstract: A touch screen module is applied to an electronic device. The touch screen module includes a protecting cover and a flexible sensor configured to sense a touch. The flexible sensor fits within the protecting cover. A first distance is from a first position on the flexible sensor to a first corresponding position on the protecting cover. A sensing range of the flexible sensor at the first position is greater than or equal to the first distance. Even though a position on the flexible sensor can sense a touch at a position away from the protecting cover to make a response, such that the flexible sensor has no touch blind area, and a sensing coverage of the touch screen module may be improved.

Abstract: Single loop inductive sensors are widely deployed in infrastructure for traffic data collection, however, these loops currently provide little more than vehicle detection. A system and method are provided that enable single loop inductive sensors to be used for vehicle classification (e.g., identification as motorcycle, passenger car, bus, etc.). Classification may be done using the Federal Highway Administration's 13 class system. Initially a signature library is built from vehicle signatures with known classifications. Vehicle signature waveforms of unknown classification obtained from inductive loop sensors are analyzed to identify specific features in the waveform including the number of “peaks”, the first peak location and its magnitude. A classifier (e.g., K-nearest neighbor) uses a representation of the vehicle signature and the features to determine from the signature library the classification of the vehicle.
