    摘要: Systems, devices, and methods are described herein for measuring an impedance of a DUT using an integrated impedance measurement device. A system includes a plurality of measurement circuits, a FFT processor, and a controller. The measurement circuits are coupled to the DUTs. Each measurement circuit is configured to generate a clock signal for a respective DUT, detect a voltage of the respective DUT, and generate first voltage related data using the clock signal and the voltage. The FFT processor is coupled to the measurement circuits. The FFT processor is configured to convert the first voltage related data into second voltage related data using a fast Fourier transform for each measurement circuit. The controller is coupled to the measurement circuits and the FFT processor. The controller is configured to calculate an impedance using the second voltage related data for each measurement circuit and output the impedance to each DUT.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are methods and systems that facilitate the integration of on-chip impedance sensors and measurement circuitries for quantifying the impedance/frequency response of microfluidic device under the same, or similar, conditions used for particle manipulation. The methods and systems can use a microfluidic chip comprising a microfluidic channel with one or more electric-field-generating structures located therein, including a first electric-field-generating structure, wherein the one or more electric-field-generating structures is configured to selectively polarize or manipulate biologic or particle components flowing within the microfluidic channel. The method and system can also employ a circuit configured for automated determination and quantification of parasitic voltage drops during AC electrokinetic particle manipulation, without the need to use valuable biological samples or model particles. The determined impedance response can be used to assess efficacy of the microfluidic device geometry as well as to provide control signals to inform downstream cell separation decisions.

    摘要: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for power theft detection. An example method includes receiving, by a control system, telemetry data from a transformer adjacent to a customer premise and a meter at the customer premise and storing, by the control system, the telemetry data in a memory. The example method further includes calculating, by the control system and using the telemetry data, a change in impedance in an electric line segment between the transformer and the meter, and determining, by the control system, whether the change in the impedance in the electric line segment is anomalous. Corresponding apparatuses and computer program products are also disclosed.
