DATA CARRIER APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND REPLACEABLE UNIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18391818 titled 'DATA CARRIER APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND REPLACEABLE UNIT
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a data carrier apparatus that receives a pulse signal with alternating first-level and second-level periods based on individual data values. The apparatus measures the time widths of these periods and demodulates the data conveyed by the signal.
- The reception unit receives a pulse signal with alternating first-level and second-level periods.
- The measurement unit measures the time widths of the first-level and second-level periods.
- The demodulation unit determines the data values corresponding to each period based on measured values and reference values.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Measurement of time widths of alternating periods in a pulse signal.
- Demodulation of data based on measured values and reference values.
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in data transmission systems, communication devices, and signal processing equipment.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for accurate demodulation of data from pulse signals with alternating periods.
Benefits:
- Improved data transmission accuracy.
- Enhanced signal processing capabilities.
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include telecommunications equipment, data storage devices, and industrial automation systems.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior art related to pulse signal demodulation, data transmission systems, and signal processing technologies.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on research related to pulse signal demodulation, data carrier apparatus, and communication technologies.
Questions about Pulse Signal Demodulation: 1. How does the apparatus measure the time widths of the first-level and second-level periods? 2. What are the potential commercial applications of this technology in the telecommunications industry?
Original Abstract Submitted
In a data carrier apparatus, a reception unit receives, from a data carrier driving apparatus, a pulse signal that alternatingly repeats a first-level period and a second-level period, which are set based on individual data values. A measurement unit measures respective time widths of the first-level period and the second-level period in the received pulse signal. A demodulation unit demodulates data conveyed by the received pulse signal, by determining the data value corresponding to the first-level period based on a measured value of the first-level period output from the measurement unit and a first reference value, and determining the data value corresponding to the second-level period based on a measured value of the second-level period output from the measurement unit and a second reference value.
