Abstract: A system may include a first analog-to-digital converter (ADC) of a first type electrically coupled by a plurality of switches to a plurality of ADCs of a second type. The plurality of switches may be configured to select, based on a rate of an analog-to-digital conversion, a quantity of ADCs of the second type, from among the plurality of ADCs of the second type, to supply the analog-to-digital conversion at the rate. The plurality of switches may be configured to selectively bypass the first ADC according to a resolution of the analog-to-digital conversion. The plurality of switches may be configured to bypass the first ADC responsive to the resolution of the conversion being below a threshold.

Abstract: A method and device for converting an analog input electrical signal to a digital signal. A plurality of integrated active and/or passive transmission lines may be implemented with signal-dependant propagation velocities. The delay differences of pulses traveling through these transmission lines are compared, and the collective results are used to evaluate and subsequently quantize the input signal.

Abstract: Mold growth monitoring and prediction systems and methods for an environment are disclosed. The system includes a processing unit, a temperature sensor, and a humidity sensor. The processing unit obtains a temperature reading and a humidity reading of the environment from the sensors. The processing unit uses an algorithm to determine a probability of mold growth based on the temperature reading, the humidity reading, and a time reading. For example, the algorithm defines an envelope based on temperature, humidity, and one or more species of mold. The envelope substantially separates conditions detrimental to mold growth from conditions conducive to mold growth for the species of mold. The processing unit uses the algorithm to determine whether the temperature reading and the humidity reading fall within detrimental or conducive conditions to mold growth. Based on the conditions, the processing unit either increases or decreases the probability of mold growth.
