Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a cost of a galvanic isolator. SOLUTION: The galvanic isolator having a dividing circuit component, a polymer substrate, a transmitter and a receiver is disclosed. The dividing circuit component is provided with a first and a second part. The first part is arranged on a first surface of the substrate and the second part is arranged on a second surface of the substrate. The transmitter receives an input signal and couples a signal led by the input signal with the first part. The receiver is connected with the second part of the circuit component and generates an output signal coupled with an external circuit. It is possible to manufacture the galvanic isolator economically on a conventional printed circuit board and a flexible circuit board. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To determine the position/orientation by using a cordless device. SOLUTION: This system generating direction information is provided with a reflector, an image collection system, and a processor. The image collection system is configured to collect at least two sets of image data, and one set of image data has a stronger instruction of a reflector than the other set of image data. The two sets of image data are collected by using at least one reflector having some orientation-specific characteristics or a reflector integrated with a device having a structural property with some orientation-specific characteristics. After collecting the two sets of image data, orientation information about the reflector is generated by using these data. Actually, the orientation information related to the reflector is generated by taking the difference between the two sets of image data. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

The two sets of image data are collected using at least one reflector with some orientation-specific characteristic or a reflector integrated into a device that includes some orientation-specific structural feature. Once collected, the two sets of image data are used to generate orientation information related to the reflector. In particular, orientation information related to the reflector is generated by taking the difference between the two sets of image data.
Abstract:
A galvanic isolator having a split circuit element, a polymeric substrate, a transmitter and receiver is disclosed. The split circuit element has first and second portions, the first portion being disposed on a first surface of the substrate and the second portion being disposed a second surface of the substrate. The transmitter receives an input signal and couples a signal derived from the input signal to the first portion. The receiver is connected to the second portion of the circuit element and generates an output signal that is coupled to an external circuit. The galvanic isolator can be economically fabricated on conventional printed circuit board substrates and flexible circuit substrates.

Abstract:
An object (206) to be imaged or detected is illuminated by a single broadband light source or multiple light sources emitting light at different wavelengths. The light is detected by a detector (200), which includes a light-detecting sensor (400) covered by a hybrid filter. The hybrid filter includes a multi-band narrowband filter (516) mounted over a patterned filter layer (508). The light strikes the narrowband filter (516), which passes light at or near the multiple wavelengths of interest while blocking light at all other wavelengths. The patterned filter layer (508) alternately passes the light at one particular wavelength while blocking light at the other wavelengths of interest. This allows the sensor (400) to determine either simultaneously or alternately the intensity of the ligth at the wavelengths of interest. Filters (902) may also be mounted over the light at the light sources to narrow the spectra of the light sources.
