Abstract: A reset method performs a software reset in a state in which data stored in a volatile memory is retained, when an abnormality is generated in a monitoring apparatus. Depending on hardware of the monitoring apparatus, the hardware may include a function to perform a hardware reset in a state in which the data stored in the volatile memory is retained, but the software reset is performed with respect to the hardware that does not include such a hardware reset function. The volatile memory may store control information for controlling a host computer that is monitored by the monitoring apparatus, in addition to data including fault check materials to be retained when the fault is generated. The monitoring apparatus may read the fault information from the hardware of the monitoring apparatus for every predetermined time, in order to perform a process to judge whether an abnormal value is reached.

Abstract: This invention relates to phase detection methods. According to a first embodiment, a signal is sampled in order to obtain an amplitude sample. Then an absolute value of the difference of the amplitude sample minus an average of amplitude samples is calculated. According to a second embodiment, the signal (50) is sampled at a first and second phase. This results in first and second amplitude samples (1, 2) which are compared to a first and second plurality of thresholds (3, 4), respectively, in order to assign first and second weighting values (w A1 , w B2 ) to each first and second amplitude sample, respectively, depending on to which range (S 2 , S 3 , S 4 ) between two adjacent thresholds the first and second amplitude sample belong. Then the sum or difference (45) of said first and second weighting values (w A1 , w B2 ) is calculated. The invention further relates to phase detection circuits that implement the inventive methods.

Filed: 2006-09-14
Abstract: An apparatus and method for ultrasonic non-destructive testing provides an elongate strip of ultrasound transmissive material coupled at a proximal end to an object under test. The elongate strip has a transverse cross-section with a width and thickness giving an aspect ratio greater than unity and matched to the ultrasonic transducer such that excitation induces a substantially non-dispersive ultrasonic signal to propagate along the elongate strip to a proximal end and to enter the object under test. These non-dispersive pulses are particularly suited for time-of-flight measurements, thickness measurement, crack measurements and the like. The elongate strip helps to separate the transducer from a potentially hostile environment associated with the object under test. The elongate strip also has a large area of contact with the object under test allowing efficient transmission of energy into the object under test.
