  • Sensor adaptors and methods
    Patent number: 7496481
    Abstract: An electronic adaptor assembly and method having a conversion circuit coupled to an input and configured for receiving an input characteristic of an input device coupled to the input and generating a pulse width signal having a pulse width that varies in response to the received input characteristic, and an output circuit coupled to an output and to the conversion circuit and configured for receiving the pulse width signal and providing a characteristic at the output that varies in response to the pulse width of the pulse width signal, wherein the output characteristic corresponds to a characteristic of a synthesized device that is different from the input device.
    Type: Grant

  • Temperature sensor adaptors and methods
    Patent number: 7496469
    Abstract: A temperature sensor adaptor assembly and method having a conversion circuit configured for receiving an input characteristic of an input temperature sensor and generating a pulse width signal having a pulse width that varies in response to the received input characteristic. The assembly also includes an output circuit coupled to the conversion circuit for receiving the pulse width signal, coupled to an output, and configured for providing an impedance at the output responsive to the pulse width of the received pulse width signal. The provided impedance at the output corresponds to an impedance of a synthesized temperature sensor that is different from the input temperature sensor.
