Abstract:
Various methods and devices involving a slave device are discussed. The slave device, which may be without a clock input, receives a clock message and generates a clock based on the received clock message. In some embodiments, the slave device receives a further clock message and transmits a confirmation message simultaneously with receiving the further clock message. In other embodiments, determining a clock may comprise sampling the clock message with an internal system clock and providing the clock based on located edges. Other techniques are also discussed.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a system having a plurality of electronic devices interconnected by way of dielectric waveguides. In some embodiments, the system has a plurality of electronic devices respectively including a data element and a multiplexing element. The data element has a plurality of electronic device terminals that output and receive data. The multiplexing element provides the data output from the plurality of electronic device terminals to a transceiver element, which generates a wireless signal that transmits the data in a manner that distinctly identifies data from different electronic device terminals. A plurality of dielectric waveguides are disposed at locations between the plurality of electronic devices. The plurality of dielectric waveguides convey the wireless signal between the plurality of electronic devices. By interconnecting electronic devices using dielectric waveguides, disadvantages associates with metal interconnect wires can be mitigated.
Abstract:

The sensor is configured to receive or utilize the voltage regulation and to perform data transmission within or at the second band.
Abstract:
A transmitter arrangement using randomization is disclosed. The arrangement includes one or more randomizers, a measure component and a frame select component. The one or more randomizers are configured to generate one or more randomized frames from an original frame. The measure component is configured to measure a criterion for the original frame and the one or more randomized frames. The frame select component is configured to select a frame for transmission from the one or more randomized frames and the original frame. The selection is performed according to the measured criteria, such as frame duration.
Abstract:
An engine control system operates to communicate via a sensor link with one or more sensors in a vehicle based on different communication protocols. The sensors alter communication protocols for communicating via the sensor link to an engine control unit to reduce or increase a current consumption according to one or more predetermined criteria. In response to a predetermine threshold of one or more of the predetermined criteria being satisfied, a sensor communicates in a first communication protocol as opposed to a second communication protocol while operating to communicate a current signal or a modulated current signal.
