Abstract:
The present invention relates to a power-saving system and a method for measuring rotational speed of a rotating device (100) during a periodic measurement window. The system comprises: a magnetic sensor (200); a magnetic target (300); and a measurement processing device (400) comprising: a pulse edge detector (410) for distributing pulse signals; a multi-pulse processor (420) that is activated when receiving a complete pulse signal having a pulse period in one periodic measurement window; a single-pulse processor (430) that is activated when receiving the pulse signal of two consecutive pulse edges in one periodic measurement window; and a measurement scheduler (450) for adjusting the arrival of the next periodic measurement window. For the two consecutive pulse edges, the pulse period is obtained by using a pulse duty cycle of the complete pulse signal. Drawing accompanying abstract: Figure 1.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the sensing instruments and methods for measuring the phase measurement of an analyte more particularly, to a system and method for measuring a fluorescence emission signal with phase correction in phase fluorometric. One of the advantages of the present invention is that the system and method removes the effect of reflected excitation light source incident on the photodetector (216) and deriving accurate reference phase without using an optical filter or requiring matching excitation and reference/auxiliary light source modulation characteristics or matching light source driver electrical circuits. Another advantage of the system and method of the present invention is that it takes into account all components of system delays from light source drivers to the photodetector (216) output as compared to the conventional correction. Moreover, the system and method of the present invention is able to remove interfering component within the same frequency.
