International Classification:

H03D 324

US Classification:

375376, 375375

Abstract:

A system for synchronizing a clock includes a phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit that generates or receives ( ) timing errors that are based on timing information from multiple timing sources. Gain blocks ( ) weight ( ) the timing errors, which are then combined ( ) into a loop time error. A loop integrator ( ) integrates ( ) the loop time error to produce an input used to adjust ( ) an oscillator frequency. A corresponding oscillator clock signal is fed back ( ) to one or more phase detectors ( ), which receive ( ) timing reference signals and generate timing errors. When a timing errors indicates that a problem exists with a timing source, the impact of the problematic timing source is reduced ( ), or oscillator frequency adjustments are suspended ( ). When used on a satellite ( ), at least one of the timing errors can be based on times of transmit and times of arrival of time messages exchanged between the satellite and its neighbors ( ).

Abstract:

The invention relates to a device and method for non-invasive detection of an analyte in a fluid sample. In one embodiment, the device comprises: a collection chamber containing an absorbent hydrogel material; a fluidic channel connected to the collection chamber; a sensing chamber connected to the fluidic channel, wherein the device is comprised of a compressible housing that allows transfer of fluid collected by the collection chamber to be transferred to be extracted and withdrawn to the sensing chamber upon compression of the device, wherein the sensing chamber contains a material that specifically detects the analyte and wherein the sensing chamber is operably linked to a processor containing a potentiostat that allows detection of the analyte using electrochemical sensing.
