Abstract: A system for monitoring the viability of an electrochemical cell measures the impedance of the cell over a wide range of impedances and with diminished phase shift over prior methods so that a more nearly accurate assessment of the impedance can be made. The system is particularly useful for four electrode systems, but is not so limited. It may advantageously be incorporated in the cell itself to further minimize cabling artifacts.

Abstract: A multimode electrochemical sensing array formed on an integrated circuit chip is structured to provide electrochemical determination of acidity or alkalinity, as well as electrochemical and potentiometric measurement of oxidation/reduction potentials, conductivity measurements, electrostatic discharge protection, and ground provisioning.

Abstract: An inexpensive single bus keyboard circuit for voltage controlled electronic musical instruments. The keyboard signal voltage is sampled and stored after each depression of a key, or release of a key when other keys are held in a depressed state, and a gate detector is provided to prevent sampling and change of stored voltage when all keys are released, to thereby insure that the last stored signal voltage is retained when all keys are released. A program counter establishes the timing relationships between the generated control signals and provides adaptive timing to prevent response to spurious key switch signals. The circuit distinguishes in a simple manner between keyboard sample voltages corresponding to the depression of one or more keys and those corresponding to the condition in which no keys are depressed.

Abstract: A low noise resonant filter of wide dynamic range and low distortion is formed from a number of series-connected filter stages, each comprising a current integrating amplifier driven from transconductance formed from a bipolar differential pair with feedback to one member of the transconductance pair to maintain its transconductance substantially constant. A further bipolar differential pair transconductance at the input stage operates with a widely variable transconductance and provides soft limiting and wide dynamic range, especially when the filter is operated in the resonant mode.
