Publication number: 20170268208Abstract: A faucet system for providing adjustable water flow is provided. The system includes hot and cold water valves operable to respectively control a flow of hot and cold water, a sensor pad with substantially continuous sensing axes, and a controller in communication with the sensor pad and operatively connected to the hot and cold water valves. The controller processes user gestures detected using the sensor pad to determine a selected flow temperature or a selected flow magnitude from a substantially continuous range of possible values, and operate the hot and cold water valves to attain the selected flow temperature or the selected flow magnitude. A method is also provided for operating the same, along with a kit for retrofitting existing faucet assemblies in order to form a faucet system.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2015Publication date: September 21, 2017Inventor: Francois LaMarche

Patent number: 9112457Abstract: A non-linear digital filtering process is provided whereby slew rate limitation-like phenomena in analog circuitry are compensated. Particularly, a reduction of the signal amplitude with respect to the theoretical size of the signal if linearity had held is avoided. A correct phase is re-established. Customized linear filtering, up-sampling, and down-sampling before and after the non-linear digital processing minimizes the creation of harmonics. The inventive system and method for non-linear processing has few parameters and it is not limited to a polynomial series. A dedicated calibration method is also provided to adapt the value of the parameter for a precise compensation of the right amount of slew rate limitation or other similar compression. Furthermore, a calibration method is shown to adjust existing DSP filtering to accomplish a precise desired filtering even when non-linear corrections may be arbitrarily large.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2013Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: Teledyne LeCroy, Inc.Inventors: Francois Lamarche, Anirudh Sureka

Patent number: 7957938Abstract: A method of digitizing an analog signal is provided, comprising the steps of separating the analog signal spanning a frequency range into a plurality of frequency bands, and then translating at least one of the signals to a lower frequency band in accordance with a local oscillator and digitizing the at least one translated signal with digitizing elements having a frequency range less than the analog signal frequency range. A fixed relationship of the phase of the local oscillator and a repetitive signal generated in accordance with a writing to a circular buffer of the digitized representation of the at least one of the plurality of frequency bands is then defined. Signals corresponding to the other of the plurality of frequency bands are digitized and written to corresponding circular buffers. Finally, a digital representation of the analog signal is formed from the digitized signals.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2008Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: LeCroy CorporationInventors: Francois LaMarche, Laxmikant Joshi, Anirudh Kailash Sureka
