A signal adaptive filtering technique for recognizing touch and release events as indicated from a measured capacitance signal received from a capacitive touch sensor device in order to improve electromagnetic noise immunity, event detection responses, adaptability to dynamically changing environments, and adaptability to signal sensitivity changes and signal offset over an extended period of time. A capacitive touch sensor system may include one or more capacitive touch sensor devices, each sending a measured capacitance signal that outputs a baseline capacitance signal during a release event, and outputs an increased capacitance signal during a touch event. The system updates the baseline capacitance signal with a filter, wherein a transfer function of the filter varies as a function of a current state of the capacitive touch sensor device, determines a range of capacitance values calculated from the baseline capacitance signal in which a recognition of the touch event will not be performed, creates a predicted signal from a filtered version of the measured capacitance signal, and recognizes a touch or release event from a comparison of the measured capacitance signal to the predicted signal.

A method of controlling the signal sensitivity of a receiver module of a remote signal communication system includes initializing a PASE function and actuating a switch from a first position to a second position.

The switch is returned to a first position in response to completion of a PASE command.

The invention aims to provide a new method for ultrasonic flaw detection of a pressure-bearing cast iron device, namely a grain characteristic-based improved split spectrum method in ultrasonic flaw detection of the pressure-bearing cast iron device, wherein compared with a conventional cast iron flaw detection, the method enables a system to obtain higher signal-to-noise ratio, faster response time and higher flexibility. Because an internal organizational structure of cast iron is not uniform and the grain size is larger, when ultrasonic waves are used for flaw detection, attenuation of the ultrasonic waves is larger when in propagation, sporadic reflection is prone to generate, and forest-like or grass-like echoes are produced, resulting in poor flaw detection sensitivity. The method utilizes effects of an average grain size and an crystal orientation angle (an included angle of the acoustic wave incident direction and the grain axis) of the cast iron internal grain characteristics on ultrasonic scattering and attenuation, a noise time-frequency characteristic and a flaw echo frequency dispersion characteristic with obvious grain characteristics are caused, optimized split spectrum parameters are obtained through analysis of noise and echo signals, and thus with utilization of the split spectrum technology, the scattering noise can be well reduced and the ultrasonic echo signal sensitivity can be well improved.
