Automatic ambient light cancellation for an optical front end. The present disclosure includes a coarse loop and fine loop in a feedback circuit configured to cancel out currents generated by detection of ambient light. An optical front end comprises a single-ended photo-diode connected to a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) followed by a buffer stage to generate differential output. A feedback loop controls a current digital to analog converter (iDAC) which is used to cancel out undesired current (e.g., from ambient light). This results in the TIA from saturating and maintain good signal quality with greater sensitivity.

Automatic ambient light cancellation method for optical front-end methods and apparatus

Low-frequency Noise Cancellation Method for Optical Measurement Systems. The present disclosure provides a low frequency noise cancellation method for optical measurement system, An optical measurement system has a transmitter to drive an LED and a receiver connected to a photodiode. The LED driver will generate a pulse signal to drive the LED and act as the radiation source for the optical measurement. Consequently, the receiver will convert the received photo-diode current to a voltage signal. The signal will then be digitized by an ADC for further processing. A current DAC circuit IDAC is added at the front of the receiver and has the same timing control with the LED driver to cancel the DC portion of the received current.

A customized industrial graph knowledge base for an industrial operation includes a graph database storing nodes of multiple dimensions predefined according to the nature and characteristics of the industrial operation. The nodes are extracted from baseline, domain-specific, and implementation specific industrial knowledge data sources using various analytics for structured and unstructured data. The customized industrial graph knowledge base further includes edges representing relationships between nodes that are either inter-dimensional or intra-dimensional. The importance of each node to the industrial operation is further quantified using a graph model and is included in the graph database as a composite filtering parameter.

Disclosed herein are transimpedance circuits, as well as related methods and devices. In some embodiments, a transimpedance circuit may include a current source bias terminal, a current source output terminal, and a transimpedance amplifier coupled to the current source output terminal, wherein voltage signals at the current source bias terminal are correlated with voltage signals at the current source output terminal. In some embodiments, the current source may be a photodiode.

Transimpedance circuits and methods

An access point that implements operating modes in which beacons may be selectively disabled. Beacons may be disabled when no device is actively associated through the access point. Beacons may be enabled in response to one or more triggers, which may include events such as a client forming an association through the access point following a probe request message identifying the access point. In addition, active beaconing may be triggered by user input or may occur during periodic brief intervals that allow client devices to discover the network identifier for the access point. Selective control of beaconing may lead to more effective wireless communication, particularly in areas where users congregate with computers implementing soft APs for personal networks.

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for dynamically converting data manipulation language (DML) code embedded in a mainframe application rehosted in a mainframe rehosting platform. The DML code can include SQL scripts with SQL statements, and standalone SQL statements for accessing a source database in a mainframe computer. The DML code can be converted programmatically and immediately before the DML code is to be executed during the execution of the rehosted mainframe application. A database access script converter in an application runtime of the mainframe rehosting platform can load a database schema of a target database and a set of conversion rules, parse the rehosted mainframe application to identify the DML code, and convert each SQL statement based on one or more conversion rules and the database schema, for execution against the target database.

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for merging a mainframe data file to a target table in a database used by a mainframe rehosting platform. A plurality of programs can be generated by the mainframe rehosting platform based on the target table and the mainframe data file. The generated programs can be used to create in the database an empty temporary table that has the same structure as that of the target table, to upload the mainframe data file to the empty temporary table, and to use an existing merge function in the database to merge the temporary table with the target table. When uploading the mainframe data file to the temporary table, records in the mainframe data file can be read and stored into an array, which can be inserted into the temporary table in a single insert operation.

The normal roles of wireless stations and wireless access points in initiating the establishment of wireless connections may be reversed without the need for changes in the network interfaces for either the station or access point device. This capability may be used to allow wireless devices acting as access points, but on which service clients operate, to initiate the establishment of a connection with a station, on which a wireless service provider operates. Discovery of services between wireless devices can be provided prior to establishing a connection between the devices. A service client device providing access point functionality may broadcast an invitation for service advertisements and then receive service advertisements from relevant service providers acting as wireless stations. An information element may be included as part of periodically broadcast administrative messages to wirelessly convey an invitation for service advertisements. In response to a service advertisement, the access point may send to the wireless station an invitation to connect, prompting the wireless station to begin to establish a connection according to a wireless communication protocol.
