This disclosure describes a chopper stabilized instrumentation amplifier. The amplifier is configured to achieve stable measurements at low frequency with very low power consumption. The instrumentation amplifier uses a differential architecture and a mixer amplifier to substantially eliminate noise and offset from an output signal produced by the amplifier. Dynamic limitations, i.e., glitching, that result from chopper stabilization at low power are substantially eliminated through a combination of chopping at low impedance nodes within the mixer amplifier and feedback. The signal path of the amplifier operates as a continuous time system, providing minimal aliasing of noise or external signals entering the signal pathway at the chop frequency or its harmonics. The amplifier can be used in a low power system, such as an implantable medical device, to provide a stable, low-noise output signal.

The invention relates to the anti-surge control of a blower and aims at providing an anti-surge control method of a blast furnace blower. The anti-surge control method comprises the steps of: 1) conducting dimensionless treatment to an anti-surge curve to obtain the anti-surge curve which is not changed with an inlet condition and a structure; 2) obtaining real-time operating parameters, making a comparison with the dimensionless value of an anti-surge point after the dimensionless treatment and determining whether a current operating point is in a safe area or not; 3) determining the distance between the current operating point and the anti-surge curve and change speed in the current dimensionless flow direction and determining proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control parameters by taking the change speed as an input valve; and 4) transmitting the PID control parameters to the controller of an anti-surge valve to realize the control over the anti-surge valve.

This invention describes circuits and methods which can allow multiple radar receiver chips to be adjusted to have very low phase offset between them. Multiple receiver chips are used in frequency-modulated carrier-wave (FMCW) radar systems for beamforming to enable angle-of-arrival measurements. FMCW radar systems are widely used in collision-avoidance and adaptive cruise control systems in vehicles, which today are operating in the 76-81 GHz frequency band. In a multi-receiver system, each receive element must have a well-controlled phase response which can be calibrated over process, voltage, and temperature. Without calibration, phase offsets can result in erroneous beamforming receiver measurements. The inventive circuit provides a technique to adjust the phase of multiple receivers across multiple chips using a single local oscillator reference and built-in-test circuitry which consist of phase shifters, a multi-frequency nonlinear phase detection circuit, and power coupling circuits.

The invention discloses a method for curing a seal agent. Before the seal agent is cured by ultraviolet rays, a non-transparent film is formed at the ultraviolet ray incidence side of a liquid crystal panel so as to replace a traditional ultraviolet ray mask. The non-transparent film is at least provided with a hollow structure which is opposite to the position of the seal agent; the ultraviolet rays can be irradiated to the seal agent at a specific angle through the hollow structure which is opposite to the position of the seal agent to realize a process for curing the seal agent. As the non-transparent film is directly formed on the liquid crystal panel, and no gaps exist between the non-transparent film and the liquid crystal panel, the phenomenon that the ultraviolet rays skew in the horizontal direction due to the distance from the ultraviolet ray mask to the liquid crystal panel can be eliminated; the total skewing amount in the horizontal direction when the ultraviolet rays are emitted into the liquid crystal panel from the ultraviolet ray mask is reduced; the possibility that display is abnormal due to the fact that the ultraviolet rays are irradiated to an effective display area is prevented, and the design difficulty of a narrow-border liquid crystal panel is lowered. Moreover, the ultraviolet ray mask is replaced by adopting the non-transparent film, so that the cost of the ultraviolet ray mask can be saved.

An inductive position sensor has a spatially periodic scale with a series of conducting or permeable features of pitch T and a reading head with drive windings and sense windings, facing the scale with a spatial period 2T along the scale. The windings are each divided in two identical winding elements having the same relative location within two identical winding element patterns having a center-to-center distance along the scale of NT+T / 2, N being an integer, and connected so that the winding element polarities in each winding are either opposed for drive windings and the same for sense windings or the same for drive windings and opposed for sense windings.

A comparator used in a parallel-type A / D converter, wherein a comparator 100 includes reset transistors mra and mrb. When the comparator 100 is in the Reset state, the inverted signal / CLK of the clock signal is given to the PMOS reset transistors mra and mrb so as to forcibly reset both of the voltages at two internal nodes Va and Vb being a differential pair to a predetermined reset voltage by the reset transistors mra and mrb. The inverted signal / CLK of the clock signal is produced with a predetermined delay. Thus, when the comparator 100 is in the Reset state, the point in time at which to cancel the reset of the internal nodes Va and Vb is delayed from that at which the comparator performs a comparison operation. Therefore, even if the frequency of the clock signal and the frequency of the analog input signal are high, the voltages at the internal nodes forming a differential pair are well-balanced when the comparator is in the Reset state, thus improving the voltage comparison precision.
