Sigma-Delta Analog To Digital Converter Architecture Based Upon Modulator Design Employing Mirrored Integrator
US Patent:
6707409, Mar 16, 2004
Filed:
Sep 11, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/238890
Inventors:
Zeljko Ignjatovic - Rochester NY
Mark F. Bocko - Caledonia NY
Mark F. Bocko - Caledonia NY
Assignee:
University of Rochester - Rochester NY
International Classification:
H03M 300
US Classification:
341143, 341155
Abstract:
A delta to sigma modulator or analog to digital converter uses a mirrored integrator. (The mirrored integrator has a frequency response function that is a mirror imageâabout half the Nyquist frequencyâof a conventional integrator thus giving infinite gain at the Nyquist frequency. ) The input signal is modulated with a chopper signal alternating between +1 and -1. The chopped input signal is added to a feedback signal and applied to the mirrored integrator. It is then quantized and high-pass filtered. The frequency of the input signal is thus shifted from the low-frequency spectrum.
Autonomous Sensor System For Remote Sensing And Signal Transmission
US Patent:
6747572, Jun 8, 2004
Filed:
Jan 30, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/774209
Inventors:
Mark F. Bocko - Caledonia NY
Richard W. Lally - Virginia Beach VA
Richard W. Lally - Virginia Beach VA
Assignee:
Oceana Sensor Technologies, Inc. - Virginia Beach VA
International Classification:
G08B 2100
US Classification:
34087016, 1362361, 257467
Abstract:
An autonomous sensor system is provided for powering sensors using thermoelectric modules driven by thermal energy. The system includes solid-state thermoelectric (TE) modules for the conversion of thermal energy to electrical energy. The TE modules are composed of p-type and n-type semiconductors that are interdigitated so that the p-type and n-type elements form thermocouples. The TE modules derive electrical power from thermal energy available in the immediate environment. The system also includes sensors that are powered by the TE module, wherein a corresponding free space signal is generated.
Multiplexed-Input-Separated Sigma-Delta Analog-To-Digital Converter Design For Pixel-Level Analog-To-Digital Conversion
US Patent:
7023369, Apr 4, 2006
Filed:
Jul 14, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/890231
Inventors:
Mark F. Bocko - Caledonia NY, US
Zeljko Ignjatovic - Rochester NY, US
Zeljko Ignjatovic - Rochester NY, US
Assignee:
University of Rochester - Rochester NY
International Classification:
H03M 3/00
US Classification:
341143, 341141, 341155, 2502081, 348241
Abstract:
An image-sensing element has an array of photodiodes or other photodetecting elements and performs sigma-delta analog-to-digital conversion on the outputs of the photodetecting elements. The sigma-delta analog-to-digital converters have components divided between pixel-level and row-level structures, with each row-level structure connected to its pixel-level structures to define a multiplexed-input-separated sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter. The converter can include an integrator or can rely on an integration effect of the photodetecting element. The feedback required for sigma-delta analog-to-digital conversion can involve digital-to-analog converters located at each row-level structure or at each pixel-level structure.
Switched-Capacitor High-Pass Mirrored Integrator
US Patent:
7038532, May 2, 2006
Filed:
Apr 15, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/824623
Inventors:
Mark F. Bocko - Caledonia NY, US
Zeljko Ignjatovic - Rochester NY, US
Zeljko Ignjatovic - Rochester NY, US
Assignee:
University of Rochester - Rochester NY
International Classification:
H03B 1/00
H03K 5/00
H04B 1/10
H03K 5/00
H04B 1/10
US Classification:
327554, 327559, 327337, 330 9
Abstract:
In a high-pass (mirrored) integrator structure that employs chopper modulation, the input and output of the mirrored integrator are connected to the input and output ports of the operational amplifier, bypassing the chopper stabilization modulators. The mirrored integrator can be used in sigma-delta analog-to-digital converters.
Data Hiding Via Phase Manipulation Of Audio Signals
US Patent:
7289961, Oct 30, 2007
Filed:
Jun 18, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/870685
Inventors:
Mark F. Bocko - Caledonia NY, US
Zeljko Ignjatovic - Rochester NY, US
Zeljko Ignjatovic - Rochester NY, US
Assignee:
University of Rochester - Rochester NY
International Classification:
G10L 21/00
US Classification:
704273, 704270, 704253
Abstract:
Data are embedded in an audio signal for watermarking, steganography, or other purposes. The audio signal is divided into time frames. In each time frame, the relative phases of one or more frequency bands are shifted to represent the data to be embedded. In one embodiment, two frequency bands are selected according to a pseudo-random sequence, and their relative phase is shifted. In another embodiment, the phases of one or more overtones relative to the fundamental tone are quantized.
Multiplexed-Input-Separated Σ-Δ Analog-To-Digital Converter For Pixel-Level Analog-To-Digital Conversion Utilizing A Feedback Dac Separation
US Patent:
7466255, Dec 16, 2008
Filed:
Nov 17, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/600914
Inventors:
Zeljko Ignjatovic - Rochester NY, US
Mark F. Bocko - Caledonia NY, US
Mark F. Bocko - Caledonia NY, US
Assignee:
University of Rochester - Rochester NY
International Classification:
H03M 3/00
US Classification:
341143, 348308, 341155
Abstract:
In an array of imaging elements, a pixel level analog-to-digital-converter design splits the quantizer into an input transistor at the pixel location and a quantizer body for each row. The feedback digital-to-analog converter is also split into two components, one at the pixel location and one provided either for each row or for the entire array.

Assignee:
University of Rochester - Rochester NY
International Classification:
G10L 21/00
US Classification:
704273, 704200, 704210, 382100
Abstract:
A method of embedding useful data in a digital music file in a way that maintains compatibility with existing digital music formats and players and has no effect on the size of the digital music file or sound quality. A digital music file is analyzed to determine a list of start and end locations of at least n consecutive zeros, defining a list of record locations, where n is an integer greater than two. The file store locations are written in initial record locations of the list of record locations and the data and a start key is written remaining record locations of the list of record locations. A process of retrieving the embedded data is also disclosed.
Cmos Image Sensor Readout Employing In-Pixel Transistor Current Sensing
US Patent:
7847846, Dec 7, 2010
Filed:
May 16, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/749510
Inventors:
Zeljko Ignjatovic - Rochester NY, US
Mark F. Bocko - Caledonia NY, US
Mark F. Bocko - Caledonia NY, US
Assignee:
University of Rochester - Rochester NY
International Classification:
H04N 3/14
US Classification:
348301, 348302, 348308, 2502081
Abstract:
In an image sensor, the current through the in-pixel readout transistor is sensed by a circuit that is external to the pixel, and according to the measured current value a feedback current is supplied to charge the read-line parasitic capacitance. The feedback current is supplied by a circuit that also is external to the pixel area. The amplifier structure is reconfigurable so that it can be used both to read out and to reset the pixel.
