Touch determination with signal compensation

A multi-touch system includes a panel for conducting signals, e.g. by FTIR, from incoupling points to outcoupling points, to define detection lines across the panel. A signal processor operates in a repeating sequence of iterations to obtain an output signal from a detector coupled to the outcoupling points and generate a formatted signal value for each detection line, and operate a reconstruction algorithm on the formatted signal values to determine an interaction pattern on the panel. The signal processor also, at least intermittently in the sequence of iterations, operates compensation data on the formatted signal values to compensate for contaminations on the panel, and calculates updated compensation data based on an interference pattern determined as a function of the interaction pattern, the interference pattern being a 2D representation of contamination-induced signal interferences. The influence of contaminations in the interaction pattern is thereby suppressed.

Printed wiring board and printed circuit board unit

A printed wiring board includes a body made of resin. Woven glass fiber yarns are impregnated in the resin of the body. An electrically-conductive wiring pattern is formed on the surface of the body. The wiring pattern extends in parallel with the glass fiber yarns. The width of the wiring pattern is set equal to or larger than the interval between the centerlines of the adjacent ones of the glass fiber yarns extending in parallel. The wiring pattern is reliably located in a region containing both the glass fiber and the resin. The proportion of the glass fiber to the resin is equalized on the wiring patterns. This results in a suppression of the influence resulting from a difference in the permittivity between the glass fiber and the resin on the wiring pattern. A variation of characteristic impedance is suppressed with such a simplified structure.

Capacitive load drive circuit, liquid injector, and medical device

A drive waveform signal is pulse-modulated and a modulated signal is generated, the obtained modulated signal is power-amplified, and then, a drive signal is demodulated using a low pass filter. Thus obtained drive signal is negatively fed back, and thereby, the resonance peak of the low pass filter is suppressed. In this regard, by bringing gain in a wider frequency domain to take a fixed value or more, a drive signal having a voltage exceeding a power supply voltage may be stably generated.

Liquid chromatograph apparatus and liquid chromatograph analysis method

ActiveUS20140311228A1High degree of accuracy and reproducibilitySuppress influenceComponent separationSurface/boundary effectAutosamplerEngineering
An analysis method is achieved in which pressure variation resulting from sample injection or passage switching by an autosampler does not exert an influence on the control of a liquid transfer pump. The liquid chromatograph analysis method comprises the steps of: transferring two or more types of eluents while changing a mixing ratio between the eluents; adjusting an amount of the transferred liquid within a predetermined time in a passage for the eluent transferred; injecting a sample in the passage; supplying to a separation column the eluent into which the sample is injected; separating a target component in the sample; and detecting the target component thus separated. In this method, control is exercised so as to synchronize a liquid transfer cycle of the eluent with the sample injecting operation and to implement the sample injecting operation at a timing rather than the pressure obtaining time.
