System and method for mixed transmission of signals and power supply through a single cable
A signal processing circuit for dynamically processing an analog signal. The signal processing circuit may include a detection module and a fluctuation filter module. The detection module may be configured to detect a voltage of a first sub-signal of a first frequency band of the analog signal in real time and transmit a first control signal when the voltage of the first sub-signal is out of a first preset voltage range. The fluctuation filter module may be configured to remove a second sub-signal of a second frequency band of the analog signal from the analog signal upon receiving the first control signal. The second frequency band may cover the first frequency band.
ERROR WARNING MODULE
Herein disclosed is an error warning module, installed in an electronic device, comprising a detection unit and a processing unit. The detection unit detects a current or a voltage being transmitted by the electronic device to generate a current detection signal or a voltage detection signal. The processing unit, electrically connected to the detection unit, determines whether a current detection value indicated by the current detection signal exceeds a current setting range, or whether a voltage detection value indicated by the voltage detection signal exceeds a voltage setting range. When the current detection value exceeds the current setting range or the voltage detection value exceeds the voltage setting range, the processing unit generates a warning signal.
DETECTING ELECTRICAL POWER LINE DISTURBANCES
An apparatus includes a memory and a hardware processor communicatively coupled to the memory. The hardware processor receives, from a plurality of power supplies, a plurality of indications of electrical power disturbances detected by the plurality of power supplies and determines locations of the plurality of power supplies based on the plurality of indications. The hardware processor also determines, based on the plurality of locations, an event that caused the electrical power disturbances and classifies the event based on the location of the plurality of power supplies.
Mutual capacitance measurement
A circuit portion for indicating a mutual capacitance between a first and second node is provided. The circuit portion comprises a switchable constant current source arrangement configured to supply a first current to the first node in a first direction or a second current to the first node in a second, opposite direction; a variable voltage source configured to output a voltage to the second node so as to hold the first node at a reference voltage; and a comparator arrangement configured to switch between said first and second directions of the constant current source when the voltage output by the variable voltage source reaches a lower threshold voltage or an upper threshold voltage and to output a signal in synchrony with said constant current direction switching. The signal is indicative of the mutual capacitance between the first and second nodes.

VOLTAGE REGULATOR CIRCUIT AND METHOD OF OPERATING A VOLTAGE REGULATOR CIRCUIT
A voltage regulating circuit including a conversion circuit configured to convert a voltage pulse sequence into a filtered analog voltage, wherein the voltage pulse sequence represents a predefined operating limiting voltage, and a regulator configured to receive the filtered analog voltage as regulation variable and to regulate an output voltage of the voltage regulating circuit to a predefined desired voltage.
SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY MONITORING MEMORY SYSTEM
The present disclosure relates generally to semiconductor devices, and, in particular, to monitoring circuitry configured to monitor a signal for an overcurrent, undercurrent, overvoltage, and/or undervoltage condition. The monitor circuit may utilize pull down transistors to generate a local voltage level. The local voltage level is then used to generate an indication of whether the monitored value has diverged from an operating region and/or has crossed a threshold of operation.
MAINTAINING SENSING STATE OF A SENSOR AND CONTROLLING RELATED LIGHT EMISSION
Techniques are described for controlling a sensing state of a device. In an example, a controller of the device stores, in a memory of the controller, first state data indicating a state of a sensor, the state being enabled. The controller, receives first input data indicating a request to disable the sensor. The controller determines that the sensor is enabled based at least in part on the first state data. Further, the controller causes the sensor to be disabled and stores, in the memory, second state data indicating that the sensor is disabled. The controller sends, to a processor, first output data indicating that the sensor is disabled.
APPARATUS FOR INDICATING A STATUS OF AN ELECTRICAL CABLE
An apparatus including an electrical cable provided with light emitters along its length for visual communication of its position/extent and of statuses of the apparatus, said statuses including at least statuses related an insulation resistance between conductors of the electrical cable. The apparatus is provided with a power unit enabling status updates and light emission also when the electrical cable is disconnected and thus not in use.
