  • Patent number: 10627214
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for electronically analyzing a time-variant signal (Ue(t)) having at least one extreme value, the amplitude and time of which are to be detected, by means of a detection circuit that operates as a peak value store and follows the time-variant signal after a threshold value (Us) is exceeded until the maximum amplitude is reached, wherein exceedance of the extreme value results in a peak indicator signal (Usi(t)) being generated and the maximum amplitude being stored, which is characterized in that to capture more than one extreme value in the time-variant signal, the tracking of the signal (Ue(t)) is deactivated after production of the first peak indicator signal and after a drop below the threshold value and, after the signal exceeds the threshold value again as time progresses, further tracking of the signal (Ue(t)) is activated until the next extreme value to be detected is reached and a further peak indicator signal (Usi(t)) is generated and this further maximum amplitude

  • Patent number: 7382843
    Abstract: A system with a transmitter for transmitting digital data via an interface to a receiver. The interface has at least one data line and a clock line. A clock generator supplies a clock signal to the clock line. The receiver uses the clock signal received from the clock line for deriving timing information for processing received digital data. The clock signal may have an amplitude that is lower than the power supply voltage VDD, typically less than half of the power supply voltage, and less stringent requirements can be applied to the waveform of the clock signal than traditionally applied to data and clock signals. The clock signals are hereby less power consuming and cause significantly less electromagnetic interference.

  • Publication number: 20020048363
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic apparatus (1) whose housing (2) is provided with a housing part that is constructed as a lever element (3) and whose hardness exceeds the hardness of crown caps so as to avoid damaging of the edges of a mobile telephone (1). To this end, the battery compartment of the mobile telephone is covered by means of an angled metal plate.
