Method, system and non-transitory computer-readable medium for fail-safe performance of a lane centering system. An electrical power steering (EPS) system of a vehicle is monitored for a failure and operation of the lane centering system is switched to a differential braking controller to output differential braking commands to a differential breaking system upon determining that a failure of the EPS system has occurred, where the output braking commands direct the differential braking system to apply force a brake for a wheel of vehicle, such by the applied braking force the vehicle follows a desired path determined for a lane centering operation.

Normalization of the built-in DC offset error in each analog channel is disclosed to reduce image distortion in multi-event (multi-touch or multi-hover) sensor panels. By eliminating the component-dependent offset error from each analog channel, each analog channel will generate approximately the same output value for a given dynamic input signal. Normalization can include “phantom row” compensation, which involves measuring the static output value of each analog channel when no stimulus is applied to any row of a multi-event sensor panel, and subtracting this value out of any subsequent output value generated by the analog channel. Normalization can also include DAC offset compensation, which involves setting the offset compensation voltage of each analog channel to some fraction of its normal value, measuring the output of the analog channel over temperature, determining a temperature coefficient, and adjusting any subsequent output value generated by the analog channel to account for this drift.

The invention provides a microseism focus positioning method based on a double-difference method, and belongs to the field of geophysical prospecting of petroleum. The microseism focus positioning method selects a perforation event as the main event, and picks the observation travel time for a microseism event, and can determine the relative distance between the perforation and the microseism event by calculating the residual error (double difference) between the observation travel time of the perforation and the microseism event and the theoretically calculated travel time difference. The microseism focus positioning method based on a double-difference method is high in operation speed and efficiency, and is easy for local convergence. As the microseism focus positioning method based on a double-difference method has the relative main event, the relative positioning accuracy is higher and the microseism focus positioning method is not limited by the spacial scale. The microseism focus positioning method based on a double-difference method offsets the error caused by changes of the speed of the near surface and the stratum speed, and can improve the positioning accuracy.

A current signal corresponding to the amount of incident light detected by a photoelectric conversion device 13 is inputted to and integrated by an integrator circuit 30, whereby a voltage signal is outputted from the integrator circuit 30. When a switch 40 is closed, the voltage signal outputted from the integrator circuit 30 is inputted to a capacitor 51 of a variable capacity integrator circuit 50, a change of the voltage signal is inputted to an amplifier 52, and an electric charge corresponding to the change of voltage signal and the capacity value of a variable capacity part 53 flows into the variable capacity part 53. The capacity value of the variable capacity part 53 is controlled by a comparator 60 and a capacity control section 70 such that the value of integrated signal outputted from the variable capacity integrator circuit 50 coincide with a reference value. The capacity control section 70 outputs a first digital signal corresponding to the capacity value of the variable capacity part 53. As a consequence, a solid-state imaging device which is excellent in S/N ratio, yields no offset errors even when its amplifier have offset fluctuations, and has a small circuit scale is obtained.

The device may further include an output device to output the data demodulated from the received baseband signal.
