An exemplary soap, sanitizing or lotion dispenser includes a housing, a receptacle for receiving a container for holding a soap, sanitizing or lotion, a container of soap, sanitizing or lotion and a pump secured to the container. The exemplary soap, sanitizing or lotion dispenser includes a power source, a motor and an actuator that couples the motor to the pump. In addition, the exemplary soap, sanitizing or lotion dispenser includes pulse width modulation circuitry in circuit communication with the power source and the motor. Movement of the actuator one actuation cycle dispenses a dose of soap, sanitizing or lotion. The pulse width modulation circuitry provides a plurality of voltage pulses to the motor to move the actuator one actuation cycle.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for reclocking a digital time-based signal. An exemplary method includes receiving a digital signal output at a first clock rate. Data transitions of the received digital signal are measured using a master clock having a second clock rate. The digital signal is filtered to determine approximate edge positions of the data transitions. A tolerance is enforced between the approximate edge positions to reconstruct the digital signal. The reconstructed signal is output. The exemplary system for reclocking a digital time-based signal includes an input section, a processor and a reconstruction section.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for distributing multiple signals having audio and/or video components for processing by an audio and/or video processor, including a chassis having a midplane connection and number of slots for receiving plural circuit boards, where at least one of the circuit boards receives a combination of multiple audio and/or video signals via a common slot of the midplane. The midplane is configured to electrically connect to one or more of the plural circuit boards and distribute portions of the multiple signals to plural circuit boards. The midplane has electrical signal interconnects within it for electrically connecting a first one of the plural circuit boards, when inserted into a first one of the slots, to multiple other circuit boards, inserted in other slots. A video signal received from an external device via the first circuit board is supplied to at least one of the circuit boards for video signal processing.

Abstract: A time base corrector apparatus for removing time base errors from video signals. A voltage-controlled oscillator (VCXO) is locked to the chroma burst of the input signal. The VCXO is used to digitize the input video, to comb filter and to demodulate chroma signals. Time base correction is accomplished by lengthening or shortening each video line in sub-pixel increments by using an interpolator circuit to interpolate consecutive pixels. A sync error detector circuit determines the sync threshold position to sub-pixel accuracy. Sync error process logic circuit determines the integrated line length and line to line error. A coefficient generator determines the coefficients necessary to correct this error for every pixel. The interpolator then uses a polynomial interpolation technique. The interpolator compensates for too few pixels per line by compressing the stretched pixels to the proper size and by creating new pixels from a portion of the pixels immediately before and after the created pixel.

Abstract: A digital comb filter for decoding composite video signals into a luminance and a chrominance component. A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) circuit or a band split filter circuit is used to determine important characteristics of an input video signal without demodulating the video signal. The circuits produce a signature signal by which each of the video lines can be correlated. Signature signals on various surrounding video lines that are of opposite subcarrier phase with the current line are compared to determine similarity and appropriate weighting coefficients for the surrounding lines. If none of the surrounding lines are similar, the comb reverts to a band split filter to form chrominance. A noise measure circuit determines an error signal input used to adjust the weighting coefficients as the noise level increases or decreases. Multiplexer combines high pass and low pass taps of a band split filter into a single data stream.

Abstract: A composite video decoder that separates digitized composite video signals into luminance and chrominance, demodulates the chrominance signal to its R-Y and B-Y components, removes time base errors, synchronizes the output to the station reference signal and converts three parallel digital signals to a serial digital output signal. A three dimensional digital comb filter, an interpolation circuit for time base correction, a sync error detector circuit, a noise measurement circuit and a means of using the noise measurement level to adapt the other circuits for best operation at various noise levels of the video input signal provide high quality translation from a composite video input to a serial digital interface output (SDI). A digital line recursive filter is used to extract the horizontal synchronizing signal whether the signal is clean or masked by a very high noise level riding on the video signal.
