  • Patent number: 9899934
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical field of radio frequency identification, in particular to a rectifier and limiter circuit having a plurality of time constants and a passive radio frequency tag containing this rectifier and limiter circuit. By applying analog control signals with different time constants to control terminals of two discharge paths of the rectifier and limiter circuit, respectively, i.e., adjusting the voltage amplitude at different switching speeds, switching the two discharge paths from a completely open state to a completely closed state is realized. Discharging is performed properly according to the amount of charge at antenna terminals and the level of energy of the tag, thus to improve the demodulation capacity of the tag and increase the read-write distance of the tag.

  • Patent number: 9792540
    Abstract: In the present invention, by connecting a band-gap reference voltage module unit to a threshold unit of a limiter circuit, the ON-voltage of the threshold unit can be dynamically and continuously controlled; and the output voltage value of the band-gap reference voltage module unit can be arbitrarily set as needed for operating the circuit. When a voltage of the antenna terminal is higher than the sum of this band-gap reference voltage value and the respective threshold voltage of the serial MOS transistors, the threshold unit is turned ON to switch on a grounded path, so that charge at the antenna is output to the ground; in this way, the amount of charge at the antenna terminal is reduced and the rectified DC voltage is thus reduced. When the voltage at the antenna terminal is lower than the sum of this band-gap reference voltage value and the respective threshold voltage of the serial MOS transistors, the threshold unit is turned off to switch off the grounded path.

  • Publication number: 20160314390
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical field of radio frequency identification, in particular to a rectifier and limiter circuit controlled by switching signals and a passive radio frequency tag comprising the rectifier and limiter circuit. The rectifier and limiter circuit controlled by switching signals provided by the present invention converts DC signals, which are absorbed and rectified by an inductance coil antenna of a passive RFID tag, into high- and low-level signals and inputs the high- and low-level signals into the control input terminals of discharge paths of a rectifier circuit. The discharge paths are controlled to be opened or closed according to the amount of charge. The amplitude limiting control of the circuit voltage is realized by dynamically adjusting the voltage amplitude of a rectifier, thereby meeting the requirements on reliability of over-voltage protection of a semiconductor device on a chip and avoiding saturation of reception at the card reader side.

  • Publication number: 20080294433
    Abstract: A text-speech mapping method. Silence segments for incoming speech data are obtained. Incoming transcript data is preprocessed. The incoming transcript data comprises a written document of the speech data. Possible candidate sentence endpoints based on the silence segments are found. A best match sentence endpoint is selected based on a forced alignment score. The next sentence is set to begin immediately after the current sentence endpoint, and the process of finding candidate sentence endpoints, selecting the best match sentence endpoint, and setting the next sentence is repeated until all sentences for the incoming speech data are mapped. The process is repeated for each mapped sentence to provide word level mapping.
