The research, design and simulation of a programmable bandgap voltage reference is presented. This reference is novel in that it is programmable via a system on chip bus and it comprises a bandgap voltage reference that is digitally modulated by a first order delta sigma modulator and then smoothed by a passive RC filter. The key design objectives are to provide a programmable output from 0 V to 2.5 V approx. with 10-bit resolution and a temperature coefficient of less than 100 ppm/degC over a temperature range from -55degC to +125degC. Another key design objective is to integrate all passive and active components used into one 0.35 micron full custom mixed signal CMOS ASIC

In this paper, an unscented Kalman filter (UKF)-based track fusion algorithm is developed for tracking targets in a nonlinear multisensor system. Employing the unscented Kalman filter and the measurements of the individual sensor in the multisensor system, the means and the variances of the states of a tracked target can be estimate. Based on these estimate results, an optimum state fusion scheme is obtained in terms of minimum mean square error (MMSE). The scheme can make the variance of the fused states smaller than that of the states estimated by UKF with any individual sensor in this multisensor system. Simulation results confirm the efficiency of the presented algorithm

The ability of human finger in controlling force against impact load is determined by means of a novel practical method, a variation of the levitation mass method. In the method, a mass that is levitated with a pneumatic linear bearing, and hence encounters negligible friction, is made to collide with an object under test. During the collision the Doppler frequency shift of a laser beam reflecting from the mass is accurately measured using an optical interferometer. The velocity, position, acceleration and inertial force of the mass are calculated from the measured time-varying Doppler shift. The method is characterized by the facts that the preparation for the test is easy and the measurement accuracy is high. The importance of the visual information is also determined by means of conducting the tests under the condition of either the subject's eyes opened or closed

The paper presents and compares three basic approaches of the active power estimation of electrical systems under noncoherent sampling conditions when the leakage effect arises. The properties of the normal time domain approach with smoothing and summation and two frequency domain approaches with improved interpolated DFT estimations of the parameters are studied with respect to their systematic errors and effectiveness in leakage suppression. The simulations are presented showing advantages and weaknesses of compared methods in the shortening measurement time: between one and six cycles in the measurement interval. From analysis and experiments, it can be deduced that averaging of DFT coefficients around zero component provides the best estimation of the active power when the DC offset component is small enough

Creating 3-D surface representation of large objects or wide working areas is a tedious and error-prone process using the currently available sensor technologies. The primary problem comes from the fact that laser range sensors allow to capture at most one line of points from a given position and orientation, and stereo vision systems accuracy is dependent upon the initial camera calibration, the extraction of features, and the matching of features. When the registration process is not properly controlled, registration errors tend to significantly degrade the accuracy of measurements, which is revealed to be critical in telerobotic operations where occupancy models are built directly from these range measurements. The reliability of range measurements within a singular range sensor technique can drastically distort the registration process, especially within environments unsuitable for the system. Instead of utilizing a single range sensor, we adopt the use of a multi-modal system allowing diverse modes of range sensing techniques to complement each other in the hope that one system's strength could be used to compensate for another system's weakness. Using a mixture of active and passive range sensing techniques, both giving dense and sparse datasets, this multi-modal range sensing system is integrated seamlessly with minimal processing overhead and optimal workspace

Scanning laser ophthalmoscopes (SLOs) provide noninvasive image sequences of the retina with high temporal and spatial resolution. This paper describes recent methods and results for accurate saccade and drift motion estimation of the eye. The proposed method exploits the scanning nature of the SLO and assumes direct access to each scan line as it is received. This approach allows high temporal resolution in estimation of saccadic motion that is used in prediction of landmark motion for extraction of translational and rotational estimates due to drift. The high accuracy achieved leads to the capability to track specific vascular structures of interest during the image sequence. We demonstrate applications in measurement of the amplitude of the venous pulse, often observed in vessels at or near the edge of the optical disk, relative to distance along the vessel. Results are shown for both simulated and real SLO image sequences

Prony's method has been proposed in order to improve the monitoring of electrical machines. The paper shows that the method is efficient to track frequency deviations. The proposed method is advantageous over the method proposed in (Costa et al., 2004) because the former does not rely on the previous knowledge of fundamental frequency. It has also been showed that the quantization can deeply affect the spectrum of the analyzed signals

In the last few years Ethernet has become the standard de facto for local area network. Nowadays, it is becoming popular also as the physical layer for industrial communications, thanks to its reliability and widespread diffusion. The actual cutting edge is a minimum cycle time in the order of 100 mus and a jitter of 1 mus. Innovative instruments are needed to cope with these performances: usually they are high cost laboratory devices not suitable to be adopted in industrial environment. In this paper a PLD based instrument is proposed: it can be easily transported to an ASIC platform allowing for the implementation of a rugged low cost instrument. A prototype has been realized to verify feasibility and performances

The determination of phase and RMS value belongs to the most important tasks of signal analysis in the frequency domain. Evaluating these parameters is frequently performed by the DFT (discrete Fourier transform) algorithm. In practice, signals are mostly sampled noncoherently. This leads to the well known effect called leakage, which results in spreading frequency spectral component energy to neighboring frequency lines. Therefore, time windows are used for leakage suppression. This paper introduces the problematic of uncertainty analysis of phase and RMS value computed from the DFT spectrum by noncoherent sampling using cosine windows. The analysis is aimed to investigate the influence of quantization noise
