Patent CA-2608216-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CANTIN BRUNO
IPC: G01R31/08
Filed: 2006-05-18
Abstract: In order to detect, localize and interpret a partial discharge occurring in a partial discharge site along an electrical equipment, two measurement probes and a synchronization probe are installed along the electrical equipment. The measurement probes detect pulses travelling in the electrical equipment while the synchronization probe detects a phase angle in the electrical equipment and is usable for calibration purposes. A control unit receives the signals sensed by the probes and conditions them. Digital processings applied on the conditioned signals, involving their correlation, a time-frequency distribution and a form factor estimation, allows establishing a diagnosis indicating a detection of a partial discharge and its localization along the electrical equipment.

Patent CA-2629508-A1 (CA)
Title: Digitizing an analog signal, and reconstituting an analog signal from a digitized version of the analog signal
Inventor: FARLEY RICHARD
IPC: G11B20/10
Filed: 2008-04-21
Abstract: An embodiment of an audio-signal digitizer includes a modulator and a converter.  The modulator is operable to receive an analog audio signal, and is operable to angle modulate a carrier signal with the analog audio signal to generate a modulated analog signal having an average amplitude. The converter is operable to convert the modulated analog signal into a digital signal having a first level in response to the modulated signal having an amplitude larger than approximately the average amplitude and having a second level in response to the modulated signal having an amplitude smaller than approximately the average amplitude. Because such a digitizer uses angle modulation to digitize an analog audio signal, the resulting digital audio signal may retain higher frequencies of the analog audio signal than a digital audio signal obtained by amplitude sampling would retain. And the retaining of higher frequencies may introduce less distortion into the reconstituted audio and acoustic signals.

Title: Sensor-based orientation system
Inventor: SHEYNBLAT LEONID
IPC: G01C21/12
Filed: 2007-03-15
Abstract: A method for measuring positional changes of an object, including rotation about any or all of three axes, using linear accelemmeters. There is disclosed a method of using a linear aeceierorrteter to integrate two other 3D linear accelerometers in order to measure and supply for further use six-dimensional information, that is, translation in three dimensions and rotation about three axes. Two linear acceierometer sensors are used to determine all but one of the variables in the six degrees of freedom. Output from a third acceierometer generates the data need to determine a sixth, rotational, degree of freedom. The need for a gyroscope for detecting changes in heading (i.e., yaw or azimuth) may therefore be avoided.
