    摘要: Implementations for heat structure for thermal mitigation are described. The described heat structures, for instance, provide a multi-layered structure that optimizes heat spreading and dissipation, as well as wireless performance of wireless devices. A heat structure, for instance, is installed internally in a wireless device adjacent various internal components to absorb heat generated by the components, and to dissipate the heat. According to various implementations, a heat structure is implemented as a thermally conductive layer surrounded by layers of electrically conductive material. Electrically conductive vias can be formed that traverse the thermally conductive layer and form an electrical connection between different electrically conductive layers to mitigate current flow in the thermally conductive layer.

    摘要: A control system includes an encoder and a control device that controls a target object. The encoder includes a position information generating unit that generates position information made of a predetermined amount of data and including absolute position data of an object to be detected; a configuration information generating unit that generates configuration information representing a ratio of the absolute position data in the amount of data during serial communication; and a transmission unit that transmits, to the control device, the position information and the configuration information as serial data. The control device includes a reception unit that receives the position information and the configuration information transmitted from the encoder; a storage unit that stores the received configuration information; and a notification unit that performs notification of a configuration mismatch when the stored configuration information does not match the next received configuration information.

    摘要: A system for determining an amplitude of a sinusoidal output waveform from a sensor includes a controller configured to provide a sample signal having a sample frequency that is four times a frequency of a sinusoidal excitation waveform provided to the sensor. The sensor has inductively-coupled primary and secondary windings that produce the sinusoidal output waveform from the secondary winding when the excitation waveform is provided to the primary winding. An analog-to-digital converter measures a first and second voltage of the sensor waveform separated in time by the period of the sample frequency, and the system calculates the amplitude based on the measurements of the first and second voltages.

    摘要: In a semiconductor device, a sine wave signal is input to a first input part and a cosine wave signal is input to a second input part. A multiplexer alternately selects one of the sine wave signal and the cosine wave signal. An analog to digital converter converts the output signal of the multiplexer into a digital value. A switching circuit is coupled between at least one of the first and second input parts and the multiplexer. The switching circuit is configured to be able to invert the input sine wave signal or the input cosine wave signal, in order to reduce the angle detection error due to the non-linearity error of the A/D converter.
