    Abstract: Disclosed is a fault tolerant CMOS image sensor that includes circuitry for identifying defective pixels and masking them during image generation. Masking may involve, in one example, replacing the output of a given pixel with an average of the output of surrounding non-faulty pixels. Thus, while image sensors may be fabricated with some number of faulty pixels, the images produced by such sensors will not have undesirable bright or dark spots. The disclosed sensor includes (a) one or more pixels (active or passive) capable of providing outputs indicative of a quantity of radiation to which each of the one or more pixels has been exposed; and (b) one or more circuit elements electrically coupled to the one or more pixels and configured to identify and correct faulty pixels in the CMOS imager. The one more pixels each include a photodiode diffusion formed in a well and a tap to power or ground also formed in the well. The disclosed sensor also identifies pixels that were initially acceptable but later became defective. The newly defective pixels so identified may then be masked to thereby increase the CMOS detector lifetime.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting the back electromotive force in a three-phase brushless DC motor driven in Half-Bridge configuration and operated continuously in a pulse width modulated mode. A difference signal indicative of the difference between the centre tap voltage and the voltage of at least one of the phases is obtained during a tri-stated condition of the phase and used to produce a method of back electromotive force. The difference signal is obtained during an on cycle of the pulse width modulation and a reconstructed signal indicative of the back electromagnetic force can be generated from sequential difference signals using a sample and hold technique in which a slope compensation is applied to the hold values.

    Abstract: In a synchronous motor a premagnetized rotor (permanent magnet or reluctance) is driven by a magnetic field generated in the stator coils synchronously in relation to the frequency of the driving current in the magnetic field thus generated. The problem that arises with this type of motor is that magnetic field energy stored in a stator coil cannot be exclusively converted into kinetic energy of the rotor. The invention aims to use in an advantageous manner this residual energy, which at present cannot be utilized. According to the invention, the problem is solved by providing an electronic power element for a synchronous motor, comprising means for transferring to another phase winding, by switching to said other phase winding, the residual energy which is stored in the inductance of one phase winding when said phase winding is subjected to an electric current but which is not converted into kinetic energy. In this way, the residual energy is not lost in the form of power loss, but is used again, under deduction of the losses that are inevitable for reasons of physics, for driving the rotor, although this time with the respective other phase winding.

    Abstract: A Schmitt-trigger is idle except at the switching moments and has for this purpose two comparators (11, 13) with contrary behaviours. An upper comparator (11) which is responsible for the upper limit value of the Schmitt-trigger is idle below said limit value and attracts current above said limit value. A lower comparator (13) which is responsible for the lower limit value of the Schmitt-trigger is idle above said limit value and attracts current below said limit value. A RS-flipflop (15) whose S-input is connected to the output of the upper comparator (11) and whose R-input is connected to the output of the lower comparator (13) stores the change in switching state of the comparator having switched from the idle to the current-conducting state and furthermore switches the comparator having switched into a current-conducting state into an idle state as soon as said comparator has changed its switching state. The Schmitt-trigger is thus always idle, except during the short moments in which the switching state is changed.
