  • Publication number: 20190321238
    Abstract: A smart diaper sensor, which may be disposed inside a diaper, and may include a sensing element and a wireless RF circuit. The wireless RF circuit may include a transmitter and a wake-up receiver. The wake-up receiver may receive a wake-up signal transmitted from a backend platform to wake up the transmitter. The sensing element may sense the environmental status inside the diaper to generate a sensing signal. The transmitter may receive the sensing signal, and then transmit the sensing signal to the backend platform.

  • Patent number: 7656211
    Abstract: A dynamic floating input D flip-flop (DFIDFF) is provided. The DFIDFF includes a floating input stage, a first string of transistors, and a second string of transistors. At a pre-charge period, the floating input stage transmits the input data to the first string of transistors; the first string of transistors stores the logic status of the input data, and pre-charges its output node to a first level. At an evaluation period, the first string of transistors decides its output node level in accordance with data logic status stored in the first string of transistors; and the second string of transistors decides output level of the D flip-flop in accordance with logic status of the output node of the first string of transistors.

  • Patent number: 7557621
    Abstract: A divider is provided. The divider includes a first flip-flop, a flip-flop array, a first NOT gate, a second NOT gate, and a circuit. The first flip-flop can be triggered by a frequency signal. The first NOT gate is coupled between a positive output terminal of the last second flip-flop and the first flip-flop. The second NOT gate is coupled between the positive output terminal of the last second flip-flop and the circuit. The first NOT gate and the second NOT gate are controlled by the mode control signal for enabling. If N is an odd number, the circuit includes a wire, and if N is an even number, the circuit includes a third NOT gate.

  • Patent number: 7242231
    Abstract: Clock generators capable of generating clocks with different frequency according to a binary code. A voltage controlled oscillation module generates a plurality of first clocks (D0˜Dm) with a first frequency (f0), in which the first clocks Di and Di-1 have a fixed phase difference and 1<i<m. A logic control circuit outputs a set of corresponding clocks arranged in a corresponding sequence according to the first clocks and a binary code. A clock synthesizer generates a second clock with a second frequency (f1) according to the set of corresponding clocks, in which f1=A/B f0, A<B and A and B are positive integers.

    Abstract: A low-power Booth array multiplier with bypass circuits is provided. The multiplier includes a first encoder for Booth-encoding the multiplier; a second encoder for pre-encoding the multiplier to generate an enabling signal and a plurality of control signals, wherein the control signals are used for determining whether to process partial product calculations or not; a selector for generating partial products according to the encoding results from the first encoder and the multiplicand; an adder array, which is composed of a plurality of adders for summing up the partial products. The adder includes a first multiplexer and a second multiplexer. When an adder of one row is disabled by the enabling signal, the first multiplexer receives a summation of the former row and the second multiplexer receives the carry bit of the former row. The multiplier further includes a plurality of third multiplexers for outputting the summation of the adder array.
