    This paper presents a method to realize interface circuit for resistive and capacitive sensors. The proposed circuit employs commercially available devices to generate the output signal in form of time period, which is linearly proportional to the both of sensing resistance and capacitance. Circuit configuration is simple and small in size. Experimental results verifying the performances of the proposed circuit are also included.

    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 circuit technique to implement a floating inductance simulator using operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs) is introduced in this paper. The realization method based on the commercially available OTA, one resistor and one capacitor provides the advantage of an electronic adjusting capability. The resulting inductance can be electronically varied by tuning the external bias current of OTA. The obtained simulator is also applied in system response compensation. Experimental results verifying the circuit performances are included. © 2011 ICROS.

    A simple design technique for realization of a capacitance-to-period converter based on operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs) is presented in this paper. The proposed principle utilizes the behavior of astable multivibrator. The configuration of converter is implemented using commercial available and low cost devices. The obtained time period is proportional to sensing capacitance. The conversion gain of proposed scheme can be changed by electronic means. Circuit performances verified by experimental results are agreed with the expected values. © 2013 ICIC International.

    Electronically adjustable PD controller using OTAs
    A method for realizing the PD controller is presented in this paper. The circuit implementation is based on operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs) as active elements with a grounded capacitor. The proportional gain and derivative time can be electronically varied by tuning the external bias current of OTA. Moreover, the structure of the proposed scheme can be simply realized the PID controller by including resistor-capacitor series network at the output terminal. Experimental results verifying the performances of the proposed circuit are in close agreement with the theoretical values. © 2011 SICE.
