    Abstract: Examples determine a reference complex impedance of a reference cell over a range of one or more frequencies. Examples determine an in situ complex impedance, over the range of one or more frequencies, of each of one or more cells of a battery with measurement equipment, the battery and the measurement equipment in situ in an end use system, the measurement equipment including sense conductor(s) coupled to each cell and force conductor(s) coupled to the battery. For each cell of the battery, examples determine a model complex impedance that, when in combination with the impedance of the cell, accounts at least in part for a difference between the in situ impedance of the cell and the reference impedance, the examples then adjust the in situ impedance as a function of the model impedance. Examples control operation of the battery based on the adjusted impedance of each of the particular cells.

    Abstract: A new method and circuit arrangement for operating a stepper motor in a voltage-based operating mode with a control loop over the whole operating range of speeds of a stepper motor. The method/circuit arrangement includes calculating a load angle of the stepper motor. The load angle is then used to calculate a voltage-based control signal suitable for operating a known motor driver circuit, such as a chopper, to drive the stepper motor coils. This enables improved control over the stepper motor which can improve control stability.

    Abstract: Disclosed is an audio signal processing method implemented by an audio system including at least an internal sensor, an external sensor and a speaker unit. The audio signal processing method includes: producing internal and external audio signals by measuring simultaneously acoustic signals reaching the internal sensor and acoustic signals reaching the external sensor, respectively; converting the internal audio signal to frequency domain, thereby producing an internal audio spectrum; converting the external audio signal to frequency domain, thereby producing an external audio spectrum; estimating, based on the internal audio spectrum, an echo audio spectrum of an echo audio signal caused by the speaker unit in the external audio signal, wherein the echo audio spectrum is estimated for frequencies above a minimum frequency, wherein the minimum frequency≥600 hertz; and correcting the external audio spectrum for frequencies above the minimum frequency, based on the echo audio spectrum.

    Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to an antenna array. An antenna array may include a first circularly polarized dipole antenna that includes a first pair of conductive elements. The antenna array may include a second circularly polarized dipole antenna that includes a second pair conductive elements, the second pair of conductive elements being geometrically orthogonal to the first pair of conductive elements. The antenna array may include a beamformer integrated circuit configured to drive the second circularly polarized dipole antenna such that the second circularly polarized dipole antenna transmits a first radio frequency signal while the first circularly polarized dipole antenna receives a second radio frequency signal. The first radio frequency signal can have a different polarization and be in a different frequency band than the second radio frequency signal.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a light source system suitable for use in a time of flight camera. The light source system includes a light source, such as a laser, and a driver arranged to supply a drive current to the light source to turn the light source on to emit light. The driver includes or is coupled to a capacitor to store energy and then discharge to generate the drive current. The driver can be integrated into a semiconductor die on which the light source is mounted. Thus, the driver can include within it the source of energy for the drive current and the light source and driver can be very close together. Therefore, the light source may be turned on and off very quickly, such as with a relatively large drive current, such as to output a high optical power, short duration light pulse.

    Abstract: There is provided an inverter system comprising a DC input for connecting to a DC power source. The inverter system comprises a plurality of transistors that are controllable to convert a DC voltage to an AC voltage. The inverter system further comprises a DC link capacitor coupled to the DC input of the inverter system and a discharge controller configured to cause a discharge of energy from the DC link capacitor when the DC power source is disconnected from the DC input of the inverter system. The discharge controller is configured to cause the discharge of energy from the DC link capacitor by turning on at least a first transistor and a second transistor so as to cause a controlled shoot-through of the inverter system. At least one of the first transistor and the second transistor are controlled by the discharge controller to operate in a linear region of operation.
