Устройство сопряжения лазерного теле-тепловизионного модуля с системой

Номер: RU0000189549U1

Полезная модель относится к области техники электрической связи. Устройство предназначено для обеспечения передачи цифровой видеоинформации, а также служебной информации от лазерного теле-тепловизионного модуля ЛТТМ-1 в систему автоматизированного контроля. Устройство содержит металлическое основание, на котором жестко закреплены три ограничительных и один прижимной конструктивные элементы для фиксации модуля. Ограничительные элементы расположены с трех сторон относительно места установки модуля и выполнены в виде уголков из относительно мягкого материала (например, фторопласта или текстолита), не повреждающего лакокрасочное покрытие модуля, и не позволяют массивному модулю соскользнуть с основания во время перемещения. Прижимной элемент, выполненный по принципу тисков, расположен с четвертой стороны и имеет упор, который смещается к модулю или от модуля при закручивании или откручивании шпильки, выполненной в виде воротка. Подводящие кабели для подачи в модуль напряжения питания и команд управления, а также выдачи в систему контроля видеоизображения и служебной информации помещены в общий защитный гибкий кожух и жестко закреплены на основании двумя скобами, причем указанное основание имеет присоединительные элементы для его закрепления на стеллаже. Предлагаемое решение позволяет получить следующий технический результат: устройство вместе с проверяемым модулем и подводящими кабелями жестко фиксируются в стеллаже, т.е. не перемещаются и не падают в процессе работы; лазерный теле-тепловизионный модуль надежно фиксируется в нужном положении посредством трех ограничительных и одного прижимного элементов фиксации; используемые подводящие кабели собраны в одном гибком кожухе, позволяющем расположить всю систему соединений в ограниченном пространстве на рабочем месте.

Apparatus for reducing power consumption by using capacitive coupling to perform majority detection

Номер: US20120007699A1
Принадлежит: Oracle International Corp

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that reduces power consumption by using capacitive coupling to perform a majority detection operation. The system starts by driving a plurality of signals onto a plurality of driven wires. The signals are then fed from each driven wire through a corresponding coupling capacitor to a single majority detection wire. Next, the system feeds signal on the majority detection wire and a bias voltage to a differential receiver. The output of the differential receiver switches if the signal on the majority-detection wire switches relative to the bias voltage. The system then uses the output of the differential receiver to optimize the signals from the plurality of driven wires for transmission across a long signal route. Optimizing the transmission of signals reduces the power consumed by the computer system.
