A liquid surface detector is constituted of an oscillator that outputs an alternating current signal at a frequency of 130 kHz, and a modulator circuit for modulating the alternating current signal with a capacitance index signal that indicates a change in capacitance. The capacitance changes with movement of a suction probe relative to a cup containing a liquid. An output signal of the modulator is filtered and amplified by a first filtering circuit that passes a frequency component of 130 kHz through it. Through a wave detector circuit and a second filtering circuit that passes a frequency component of 2 kHz, a signal corresponding to the capacitance index signal is detected from an output of the first filtering circuit, and is compared with a reference signal, to detect that the probe gets into contact with the liquid surface.

An electronic processing system contains a power supply subsystem and a multi-processor module. Programmable control circuitry manages power consumption in the electronic system by allocating priority among a plurality of competing demands, such as total power consumption, power consumption at any one of the processors, and thermal measurements. Analog sense measurements of incoming power are transmitted to the control circuits, which are protected from noise through use of an isolation barrier established by a linear isolation amplifier.

A base station includes a channel quality detecting unit that detects channel quality between the base station and a mobile station, a buffered data amount monitoring unit, and a modulation and coding set determination unit. The modulation and coding set determination unit determines a modulation and coding set, as a downlink modulation scheme for packet communications, such that a prescribed communication condition corresponding to the channel quality is satisfied, and that padding added to the data buffered in a transmission buffer for subsequent transmission to the mobile station becomes the minimum.

A modular feed-though adapter that allows an electrical connection to a power line network adapter without “using up” an electrical outlet is described. In one embodiment, the modular feed-through adapter also provides noise filtering to protect electrical equipment plugged into the feed-through outlet. The noise filtering also protects the power line network data signals from noise generated by the devices plugged into the feed-through adapter. In one embodiment, the network connections provided by the feed-through adapter are low voltage connections, thus allowing the network connections from the feed-through adapter to be safely plugged directly into low-voltage equipment such as computer network cards and the like. In one embodiment, the modular adapter includes a balun to couple network data signals to the power line.

Disclosed is an LCD device including a noise shielding member. The noise shielding member is a transparent conductive member including a transparent film on which a transparent conductive layer is coated. The noise shielding member may also be a transparent conductive layer scattered on the optical sheets. The transparent conductive layer comprises ITO or IZO. The noise shielding member is disposed under the diffusing plate or interposed between optical sheets. The noise shielding member may be disposed under the LCD panel. The noise generated from the electric power signal applied to the lamp of the backlight assembly is shielded from the LCD panel. Furthermore, the noise shielding member and optical sheets contacts with the chassis of the LCD device through various ground members so as to be connected to earth potential and be electrically stabilized. Accordingly, display quality of the LCD device is improved.

A circuit and method reduces noise signals coupled to a reference voltage used by a digital differential input receiver having an input that is coupled to an input/output terminal. The circuit and method selectively isolates the reference voltage from the input/output terminal to which output signals are selectively applied. The isolation occurs responsive to detecting that an output signal is being applied to the input/output terminal so that transitions of the output signal are not coupled through the input receiver to generate noise in the reference voltage. In one embodiment, the isolation is provided by placing an isolation circuit between the input receiver and either the input/output terminal or a source of the reference voltage. In another embodiment, the isolation is provided by selectively biasing the input receiver so that coupling of output signal transitions through the input receiver is substantially reduced.

Electronic steganographic techniques can be used to encode a rights management control signal onto an information signal carried over an insecure communications channel. Steganographic techniques ensure that the digital control information is substantially invisibly and substantially indelibly carried by the information signal. These techniques can provide end-to-end rights management protection of an information signal irrespective of transformations between analog and digital. An electronic appliance can recover the control information and use it for electronic rights management to provide compatibility with a Virtual Distribution Environment. In one example, the system encodes low data rate pointers within high bandwidth time periods of the content signal to improve overall control information read/seek times.
