H03F 358

US Classification:

330 43, 330149, 315 393

Abstract:

An amplifier system. The amplifier system includes a vacuum tube amplifier, an electron source voltage modulation circuit, and a linearization circuit. The vacuum tube amplifier includes an input signal terminal and an output signal terminal. The electron source voltage modulation circuit includes an input terminal coupled to one of the input signal terminal and the output signal of the vacuum tube amplifier, and includes an output terminal coupled to one of an electron source of the vacuum tube amplifier and an interaction region of the vacuum tube amplifier. The linearization circuit is coupled to the input signal terminal of the vacuum tube amplifier. In conjunction with or instead of the electron source voltage modulation circuit, the amplifier circuit may additionally include an electron beam control circuit, including an input terminal coupled to one of the input signal terminal and the output signal of the vacuum tube amplifier, and including an output terminal coupled to the electron source of the vacuum tube amplifier.

International Classification:

G06F 3/01
G01S 17/50

Abstract:

A wearable device includes a device housing configured to be worn on a first surface of a user, a set of one or more SMI sensors, and a processor. The set of one or more SMI sensors is mounted within the device housing and configured to emit a set of one or more beams of electromagnetic radiation, with each beam emitted in a different direction extending away from the first surface. The set of one or more SMI sensors is also configured to generate a set of one or more SMI signals containing information about a relationship between the device housing and a second surface. The processor is configured to extract the relationship between the device housing and the second surface from digitized samples of the set of one or more SMI signals.
