A circuit arrangement for detecting a load current through a load includes a main transistor, a sensing transistor through which a load current flows that is a measure of the load current flowing through the main transistor. In addition, a resistance is connected in series with the load path of the sensing transistor, and a current source is connected to a node arranged between the sensing transistor and the resistance. A detector detects the load current flowing through the main transistor by measuring the voltage across the resistance.

A fraud sensing method for use in an in-vehicle network system including a plurality of electronic control units that communicate with each other via a bus includes detecting that a state of a vehicle satisfies a predetermined condition, and switching, upon detecting that the state of the vehicle satisfies the predetermined condition, an operation mode of a fraud-sensing electronic control unit connected to the bus between a first mode in which a first type of sensing process for sensing a fraudulent message in the bus is performed and a second mode in which the first type of sensing process is not performed.

A circuit and a related method to sense the inductor current of CD / DC buck converters have been achieved. The inductor current is sensed by generation of a voltage drop across a fully integrated sense resistor. The voltage drop is proportional to the inductor current in the pass device by supplying a fraction of the inductor current out of a source-follower, which matches to the pass device. The source of said source-follower is connected to a sense-resistor that is connected to the same supply as the pass device. The current, which is needed to generate the voltage drop, is fed back into the inductor current minimizing therefore the efficiency loss. Mirroring, amplification and offset correction of the voltage drop across the sense-resistor is performed by using a single matching pair of source-follower, which is supplied by a current tracking the internal reference voltage and the process variations of the resistors.

As described above, the abnormal signs, which should be checked to provide care services, are sensed via changes in a daily activity pattern and added to a care service system that will be installed in welfare facilities for the aged or a home of a solitary old person, thereby effectively sensing the abnormal signs in daily activities of the aged.

The present invention relates to a class of fluorescent, organic nanofibrils, and particularly the films comprising entangled piling of these nanofibrils exhibiting effective quenching of their fluorescence upon exposure the vapor of explosives. The invention also relates to a sensor and a method for sensing the explosives vapor and other volatile organic compounds, including the explosives taggants through the modulation of the fluorescence of the nanofibril film and the electrical conductivity of the nanofibrils. The invention also relates to a development of synthetic methods, protocols and techniques that leads to production of various arylene-ethynylene macrocycle (AEM) molecules, which consist of a shape-persistent, toroidal scaffold in planar conformation, with minimal ring strain and highly tunable ring sizes (from 0.5 nm to above 10 nm). The invention also relates to an approach to optimization of the one-dimensional molecular arrangement along the long axis of the nanofibril, which provides increased exciton (excited state) migration (via cofacial intermolecular electronic coupling) and charge transport (via pi-electronic delocalization). A combination of long-range exciton migration and efficient charge transport makes the nanofibrils ideal as sensory materials for detecting explosives and other volatile organic compounds through both optical and electrical sensing mechanisms.
