The present disclosure is directed to a system that includes a sensor and a signal conditioner coupled to the sensor. The signal conditioner includes signal processing circuitry coupled to the sensor and offset cancellation circuitry. The offset cancellation circuitry includes a sign detector configured to output a high signal or a low signal based on a sign of an output signal from the signal processing circuitry, an integrator coupled to the sign detector, and a divider coupled to the integrator and to an input of the signal processing circuitry.

An improved integrator for use in physical analog-computing systems is disclosed, featuring real-time dynamic amplitude scaling schemas that make use of an injected correction factor responsive to a contemporaneous change in an input dynamic-amplitude-scaling compensation factor. The injected correction factor is designed to reduce or eliminate transient output perturbations due to the amplitude scaling change. The disclosures discussed have real-world applications for physical analog computers and hybrid computers used to control and manage many types of industrial-control systems.

An adder adds a noise signal, an input signal, and a feedback signal. A threshold determination unit compares an addition signal output from the adder with a predetermined threshold, and outputs an ignition pulse signal. A transient response unit causes transient response of the ignition pulse signal, and generates an output signal. An intensity adjustment unit is formed of a variable resistor provided on a feedback loop, adjusts intensity of the feedback signal, and inputs the feedback signal to the adder.

Systems and methods for providing an approximate differentiation and integration of an input continuous-time signal are provided. The disclosed systems include a continuous-time delay block configured to receive an input continuous-time signal and to delay the input continuous-time signal by a predetermined delay factor to generate a delayed input continuous-time signal, a processing block configured to determine a difference or a sum between two continuous-time signals, and a multiplication block configured to multiply an input continuous signal to provide a multiplied input continuous signal.

In a resonant frequency control method in a magnetic field resonant coupling type power transmission system transmitting an electric power from a power transmitting coil to a power receiving coil using magnetic field resonance, a high-speed, accurate and real-time adjustment of the resonant frequency of a coil is realized. The phase of a voltage supplied to a power transmitting coil and the phase of a current that flows in the power transmitting coil or a power receiving coil is detected and the resonant frequency of the power transmitting coil or the power receiving coil is varied such that the phase difference between them becomes a target value.
