Title: Ecological system for wind break and sand fixation using sand barriers
Inventor: JIXI GAO
IPC: E04H17/14
Filed: 2019-10-21
Abstract: An ecological system for wind break and sand fixation comprises a fencing in rectangular form, provided therein with a plurality of wind-shield walls and a plurality of rows of sand barriers. The sand barriers are distributed at certain row spacing inside each wind-shield wall and the plurality of rows of sand barriers have a certain row spacing with each other. A condenser configured to collect water vapor is provided above each sand barrier. Perennial reeds are used to make the sand barriers, and set numerical values guarantee optimal effects of wind break and sand fixation, which has positive significance to wind break and sand fixation for degraded grasslands. The windshield walls comprise a wall body with first wind-shield sheets having a certain tilt angle relative to the horizontal direction. Connectors support a top of the wall body and carry a net. Part of winds and sands can pass through gaps between the first wind-shield sheets, which effectively lowers an accumulated potential energy of winds and sands on the windward face, and reduces adverse influence of accumulation of sand particles on the wind-shield efficacy of the wall body, thereby improving long-term effectiveness of the wind-shield walls.

Title: Auto-centering of sensor frequency of a resonant sensor
Inventor: SIDDHART MARU
IPC: G01D5/243
Filed: 2020-03-18
Abstract: A resistive-inductive-capacitive sensor is driven by a driver configured at a driving frequency, and a measurement circuit coupled to the sensor determines a measured change in the sensor’s resonant frequency. Based on the measured change, the driving frequency is modified if the change exceeds a threshold. The measurement circuit may determine the resonant frequency from phase or amplitude measurements and change the driving frequency when the phase or amplitude changes above a threshold. The threshold may be based on a quality factor. The slope of the phase versus frequency curve may also be used. The driving frequency may be modified to correspond to the resonant frequency, which may change over time due to age or environmental conditions. The sensor may be used in a mobile device to replace a mechanical button and may sense the displacement of a member 105 relative to a coil 202.
