A to D converter data calibration in real-time delivers faster conversion rates

The new digital data calibration technique allows any pipeline ADC to operate at a speed about 2 bits faster than currently available ADCs. For example, an 8-bit ADC could potentially run at 12 bits, compared to only the 10 bits maximum that might…

Eliminating the bottleneck in WiFi networks: New protocol delivers order-of-magnitude increase in performance

Have you ever been to a very busy coffee shop, hotel lobby or conference and been unable to access WiFi? Wi-Fi networks based on the 802.11 set of standards are pervasive, but have a fundamental performance bottleneck that limits the practical…

A novel color filter array design scheme significantly reduces hardware complexity

In digital imaging applications, data are typically obtained via a spatial sub-sampling procedure implemented as a color filter array (CFA). CFA assigns a separate primary color to each pixel by placing a filter of that color over the pixel. The…

Voltage emergency prediction: Signature-based approach to reducing voltage emergencies

To reduce the gap between nominal and worst-case operating voltages, Harvard researchers have developed a “voltage emergency predictor” that identifies when emergencies are imminent and prevents their occurrence. A voltage emergency predictor…
