A transceiver preferably embedded within a wearable security watch, PDA, or other device which achieves a variety of wireless ultrasonic and/or radio-frequency based functions, including digital identification and proximity and sensation monitoring of assets, individuals, pets, and the like. The portable or wearable device realizes these functions by periodically polling and receiving information tags within the transmitting distance of the device. The invention can help reduce the likelihood of the theft, loss, or misplacement by detecting that a tag associated with or attached to an entity has left an individual's proximity and sounding an alarm. The device can also assist individuals with sensory impairments, including persons who are deaf, diabetic, and the like, by detecting a tagged entity as it enters the space around an individual, or by detecting environmental stimuli, such as excessive heat in an individual's proximity or vital sign changes, and sounding an alarm.

A distance of flight (DOF) approach to mass spectroscopy in which the resolution among the various ion masses is accomplished in space rather than time. A separate detector is associated with each ion mass resolution element. The DOF mass spectrometer can serve as one element in a tandem arrangement which has the capability to produce a full two-dimensional precursor/product spectrum for each bunch of ions extracted from the source. A “distance-of-flight” (DOF) mass analyzer is used in combination with time-of-flight (TOF) mass analysis for precursor and product dispersion. All the precursor ions can undergo a mass changing reaction simultaneously, while still retaining the essential information about the particular precursor m/z value from which each product ion m/z value emanated. Through the use of a two-dimensional detector, all the products ions from all the precursors can be detected for each batch of ions analyzed.

A switching voltage regulator has a first switch, a second switch, and an inductor, which are coupled together to a switch node. A switch control system applies a drive signal for controlling the first and the second switches. A duty cycle detecting circuit detects a duty cycle of the drive signal. When the duty cycle is larger than a predetermined threshold, the duty cycle detecting circuit generates an over-threshold signal. When the duty cycle is smaller than the predetermined threshold, the duty cycle detecting circuit generates an under-threshold signal. In response to the over-threshold signal and the under-threshold signal, an oscillating signal adjusting circuit generates an adjusting current. An oscillating signal generating circuit generates and applies an oscillating signal to the switch control system. The oscillating signal has a period adjusted by the adjusting current.
