Patent EP-0895095-A1 (EP)
Title: Vibration detection
Inventor: HARPER MARK FRANCIS LUCIEN
IPC: G01H9/00
Filed: 1997-07-28
Abstract: It is often desirable to detect the vibrations of an object
without making physical contact with it, and of the several devices
and procedures which will allow this many involve reflecting shortwave
electromagnetic energy, typically microwaves and laser light, off the
vibrating surface. For conventional such devices to work the
displacement of the vibrating surface must be significant compared to
a wavelength of the radiation used to detect them. A good example of
a vibrating object is a water distribution pipe buried below ground;
such pipes vibrate (to produce a typical "hissing" sound) when they
leak, and it would be desirable to be able to to detect leaks by
sensing this vibration in the manner described above. Unfortunately,
the ground absorbs short-wavelength radiation very rapidly, and
neither laser beams nor microwave radiation penetrate to the depth
required. Longer wavelength radar signals can penetrate this far, but
using such long wavelength radiation makes vibrations harder to detect
because the physical displacements produced are far smaller than the
wavelength, and the effect of vibration on the reflection is
unmeasurable by conventional means. 
     The present invention suggests how a radar can be used. It
proposes employing a radar system in which a signal (2,28) equivalent
to the echo from the object (6) when it is  not  vibrating is
subtracted (33) from the actual returning echo signal (7,9)  before 
that echo signal is detected by the system's receiver (10), so that
the signal then actually received by the receiver consists only of
that very much smaller component of the echo which is due to the
displacements of the vibrating object from its rest position. This
component may then be amplified, and the displacements may then be
estimated from it.

respective, assigned recording media therein and, in a second

slot (50) into which an individual recording medium is selectively
inserted or removed. In an insertion operation of the second
mode and with a recording medium present in the mail slot in the
closed position of the tray (20), an accessor (28) conveys the recording
medium from the mail slot, designated as a source location, to a
respective slot of the tray assigned to the recording medium and
designated as a destination location thereof and, in an ejection
operation of the mail slot mode, conveys the recording medium
from the assigned slot of the tray designated as a source
location to the mail slot, designated as a destination location.
The controller, further, controls the accessor to convey a
selected recording medium from the respective assigned slot in
the tray to a driving unit for recording and reproducing
operations on the specific recording medium and, thereafter, to
return the specific recording medium to the assigned slot.

Abstract: The rectified (R,C) AC input is connected to the motor (M) through an inverter (O) with bridge-connected transistors (S). A shunt (Sh) in the DC bus (B) passes current-related signals (Idc) to a processor (CE) which also receives transistor state data (Sa, Sb, Sc), allowing it to reconstruct the individual phase currents. Using an applied speed setting, it issues control signals to the PWN controller (CC). When one, or both, output vector components fall below a preset value, it, or they, are increased by that value, and applied during the first PWM half-period. A second vector, applied in the second half-period, produces a mean equal to the unadjusted value. Current measurements are made only during the first half-period. Two variants, avoiding PWM asymmetry, are described.

Abstract: In accordance with the teachings of the present invention, an optoelectronic system (10) is provided for surface digitization of an object using spatiochromatic triangulation. The optoelectronic system (10) includes an illuminating subsystem (12) for illuminating a measuring space (30) that contains an object (16) to be measured, as well as a viewing subsystem (14) for collecting the light reflected by this object (16) and for generating a three-dimensional topography of the object (16) using in depth chromatic coding of the object. More specifically, relay optics (22) are used to image a polychromatic light source (20) onto a source slit (24) which in turn passes images from the slit image onto a dispersing element (26). The object to be measure is illuminated with a continuum of monochromatic images along a cutting, plane (x,z) within the measuring space (30). A color coded (x, lambd) representation, generated by the intersection of the cutting plane (32) and the surface of the measured object (16), is imaged onto a viewing slit of an imaging spectrograph. A relay lens (50) is used for projecting this image onto the viewing slit (42). A grayscale imaging array (46) located in the image plane of the spectrograph (40) registers the color coded representation, and by using spectrophotometric analysis, an image processor (40) translates this representation into a plane section of the three-dimensional topography of the measured object (16).
