Patent CA-2339313-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GHARAGOZLOO MAHMOOD
IPC: G01P5/14
Filed: 2001-03-02
Abstract: To compensate for the inherent non-linearity of pressure to speed measurement, an electronics module has been developed that converts the non-linear pressure signal from the analog pressure sensor to a linear frequency signal. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a microcontroller with analog-to-digital processing capabilities is used to convert a non-linear pressure signal to a linear frequency signal. Under microprogram control, the microcontroller reads the analog signal from the sensor and calculates the required program constants to generate a linear output frequency. Thus, the present invention removes the square law response relationship of speed to pressure captained in the equation:     PRESSURE = (SPEED/8.208)~2. Therefore, any standard frequency input analog or digital speedometer can be used in conjunction with non-linear pressure sensors. In a preferred embodiment, two analog sensors are used for speed input, wherein input is received from one or the other of the two sensors based upon a switch chat is selectable by either the microcontroller or the operator.
