    In this paper, an enhanced sinusoidal-amplitude detector suitable for fast response applications is proposed. Implementation method based on commercially available devices employs a novel control signal generator to improve operation speed of previously reported sinusoidal amplitude detector. The control signal generator used consists of a time-delay circuit, AND logic gate, and three comparators. The enhanced amplitude detector provides faster amplitude detection as well as smaller operation error for amplitude input changes. Experimental results verify a good agreement with theoretical expectation. © 2013 ICIC International.

    In this paper presents a power monitoring circuit for battery energy management system using operational amplifiers. The proposed scheme consists of a current sensing circuit with voltage output and an analog multiplier. The voltage output of current sensing circuit is directly proportional to load current. The multiplying result of the load current in the form of voltage signal and the load voltage becomes the load power in term of output voltage of analog multiplier. The configuration of the proposed power monitoring circuit is simple and economically attractive.

    Enhanced differential voltage-to-Frequency converter for telemetry applications
    This paper presents an enhanced differential voltage-to-Frequency (dVFC) suitable for telemetry applications. The realization method employs op-amps in conjunction with current conveyors and Set-Reset latch. The converter gain can be easily adjusted through the variation of a single resistor. Compared to the previous dVFC using only current conveyors and Set-Reset latch, the proposed converter offers significant improvements in accuracy and circuit configuration. Its benefits are higher accuracy, simpler structure, fewer components, and lower costs. Experimental results verifying performances of the proposed dVFC are closely agreed with expected values. © 2010 SICE.

    Simple LVDT signal to DC converter
    A simple technique to produce a linear signal from a displacement transducer, linear variable differential transformer (LVDT), is introduced in this paper. The two-quadrant divider is used to precede the ratio of a different and sum of the two winding signals from the LVDT instead of a four-quadrant divider of a recent approach. The two- quadrant divider is obtained by an operational transcondutance amplifier (OTA) in the form of a voltage-tocurrent converter. The signal from the divider is held by the sample and hold circuit (SHC) controlled by the peak-amplitude finder. As a result, the held signal is achieved without using a low-pass filter. The temperature effect of both OTA and LVDT are compensated. The merit of the proposed technique is that the circuit requires without the low-pass filter. Therefore, the fast response is obtained. The performance of the proposed scheme is confirmed by the experimental results using commercial devices.

    Accurate LVDT signal converter
    A novel technique to implement a signal converter for an inductive displacement transducer, a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT), is proposed in this paper. The technique is based on the use of the proposed peak-amplitude finder and the zero-order sample and hold circuit (ZSH) instead of the synchronous demodulator used in traditional approach. The advantage of this technique is that the phase shift due to the dominant pole of the low-pass filter used in the traditional synchronous demodulator is avoided. Therefore, the fast response time of the proposed LVDT signal converter is achieved. The core displacement signal, which is varied in proportion to the position of the moving core of the LVDT, is accurately extracted to directcurrent (DC) voltage signal. The reference signal used to generate the control signal for the ZSH is directly provided by the output signal of the LVDT to prevent the phase shift caused by the LVDT structure. Performances of the proposed technique are discussed in detail and confirmed by the experimental demonstration using commercial devices. The purpose of the proposed technique is emphasized in terms of high accuracy, fast response, simple configuration and low cost.

    Bitmap picture to toolpaths converter for NC machine
    A simple method to create the toolpaths from bitmap picture of the workpiece for NC machine is described in this article. Halftone process is used to reproduce a continuous tone picture to binary tone picture for making a prototype picture. The obtained two dimensions picture with halftone process is employed to create the toolpaths of the sample workpiece. The workpiece dimension can be scaled to limitation of work table of NC machine by user with independent of picture resolution. The toolpaths are created as cutter location data (CL) that can be imported to postprocessor for NC machine. The proposed method is developed using visual C# programming language under window environment. Experimental implementation exhibits that the proposed bitmap picture to toolpath converter is efficient for the postprocessor to generate machine command for sculpture the workpiece from bitmap picture. ©ICROS.

    A gray-code algorithmic analog-to-digital converter based on operational conveyors
    This paper presents one-bit cell supporting input voltage to synthesize triangular-like DC transfer characteristic and digital output of Gray-code algorithmic analog-to-digital converter. The proposed one-bit cell is based on the use of operational conveyors in connection with resistors, diodes, and voltage comparator. An N-bit resolution can be simply realized by cascading the N proposed one-bit cells. Surpassing the previous one-bit cells using operational transconductance amplifiers, the proposed converter affords higher resolution and simpler configuration. The circuit operations of the proposed converter are confirmed through PSPICE simulation and experimental results. ©ICROS.
