  • Publication number: 20150066438
    Abstract: A sensor interface includes on-chip relaxation oscillator circuit and a PLL that operate cooperatively to generate a highly accurate clock signal on-chip using low-power components. A photodiode generates a current signal based on an optical signal that is representative of a sensor signal. An ADC that operates based on the highly accurate clock signal generates a digital signal based on the current signal generated by the photodiode, and a processor processed the digital signal to estimate sensor data within the sensor signal. Examples of characteristics that may be sensed can include environmental characteristics (e.g., temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, etc.) and/or biomedical characteristics (e.g., body temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, etc.). In desired, an amplifier processes the photodiode-provided current signal before it is provided to the ADC. Also, one or more CDACs that generate feedback currents may be used to reduce noise sensitivity of the sensor interface.

  • Patent number: 8821727
    Abstract: A wastewater treatment system includes one or more aeration tanks for receiving wastewater, a controller for controlling the amount of air delivered to each of the one or more aeration tanks by a blower assembly, and a sensor assembly for periodically measuring values corresponding to the amount of dissolved oxygen in at least one of the one or more aeration tanks. When the sensor assembly measures values that are less than a low setpoint value, the controller causes the blower assembly to incrementally deliver more air until the sensor assembly measures values that are not less than the low setpoint value. When the sensor assembly measures values that exceed the low setpoint value, the controller causes the blower assembly to incrementally deliver less air until either the sensor assembly measures values that are not greater than the low setpoint value, or the blower assembly reaches a preselected low operating threshold.

  • Publication number: 20140059603
    Abstract: An application framework includes user interface components and TV resources which facilitate development of intelligent TV applications, including third party applications. These components and resources are complimented by one or more data services that can generally be run at a services level, to provide access to a variety of data, such as media and program metadata for one or more of local or remote sources. These data services can reside in one and more libraries within the software system components and modules. The various third party apps are further supported by a third party application support module, in conjunction with an app center application that supports various different views of the installed apps—a master view, a collection view, and a detail view.

  • Publication number: 20100269216
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for mapping quantitative trait loci in a connected population of organisms. The invention includes evaluating associations between markers and a trait of interest using network population mapping (NPM). The methods include assembling a network of individual members for association mapping, wherein the members are connected at the allelic level. Members of the network are grouped according to a shared haplotype at one or more marker loci, and the network can be used to identify or validate QTL within the chromosomal region surrounding or flanked by the marker loci. The methods further include a means for estimating and ranking the effects of multiple alleles across the mapping population. Further provided is a novel simple interval mapping model as well as a novel composite interval mapping model for evaluating allele-specific associations across a connected mapping population.
