Title: Bruce Walter McNeill: Innovator in Measurement and Storage Technologies
Introduction
Bruce Walter McNeill is a notable inventor based in Yokohama, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the fields of measurement circuits and data storage technologies. With a total of 4 patents to his name, McNeill's work has had a lasting impact on the industry.
Latest Patents
One of McNeill's latest patents is an "Analog-to-digital converter with power supply-based reference." This invention provides a measurement circuit designed to measure the resistance of a variable resistance element that is biased with an external voltage supply. The circuit includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a reference generator connected to the ADC. The ADC receives a reference voltage and a voltage developed across the variable resistance element, generating a digital output signal that indicates the relationship between these voltages. The reference generator creates the reference voltage based on the external voltage supply.
Another significant patent is the "Oversampling storage system captured waveform." This method involves designating a first sampling phase for a signal captured from a magnetic storage medium, which represents information stored by that medium. The method captures a first waveform associated with the signal at the first sampling phase and designates a second sampling phase for the signal. It captures a second waveform at this phase and interleaves both waveforms to form an oversampled waveform. The capture rate of the waveforms is at least equal to the rate at which the information was originally written to the magnetic storage medium.
Career Highlights
Throughout his career, McNeill has worked with several prominent companies, including LSI Corporation and Avago Technologies General IP (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. His experience in these organizations has allowed him to develop and refine his innovative ideas.
