Abstract: The present invention relates to a vibration signal processing method and system that can be used to account for situations where impact or impulse events are hidden in a normal vibration reading by low frequency vibrations and high frequency noise. In one preferred form, the method of the present invention comprises the steps of obtaining electrical vibration signals that represent mechanical vibrations of a machine (102-106), converting the electrical vibration signals into digital vibration samples (108), dividing the digital vibration samples into equal time intervals and determining the average absolute amplitude of the digital vibration samples for each time interval (110), generating a time waveform comprising the determined average amplitudes (112, 114), and processing the time waveform as if it were an independently-detected signal (116-120).

Patent CA-2585756-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROBINSON JACQUES
IPC: F24J2/46
Filed: 2007-04-16
Abstract: Les panneaux solaires qui sont actuellement utilisés sur les toitures de maisons produisent une certaine quantité d'énergie par rapport à leur emplacement (Nord, Sud, Est, Ouest). Sous la latitude du Québec, les panneaux solaires sont généralement situées sur la face Sud, Sud-est ou Sud- ouest du toit afin d'obtenir le plus d'énergie solaire possible. L'angle de projection des rayons solaires fait que le côté nord est inexploité car les rayons solaires ne l'atteignent pas directement. De ce fait, l'entière capacité d'absorption d'énergie n'est pas obtenue. C'est pourquoi, l'ajout de panneaux solaires sur ce côté du toit serait presque inutile. Par contre, s'il y avait une invention capable d'y refléter les rayons du soleil, cet espace pourrait alors être utilisé. De cette lacune, une idée révolutionnaire est née : un réflecteur de lumière pour panneaux solaires. Le réflecteur de lumière permet de rediriger les rayons solaires, autrefois inexploités, vers des panneaux solaires situés sur le versant nord du toit. L'élément de base du réflecteur de lumière est un miroir fixé à un grand mat. Celui-ci est muni d'un logiciel programmé pour suivre la trajectoire du soleil de ses premiers à ses derniers rayons. Ce gigantesque miroir a un axe précis lui permettant de refléter le plus de rayons solaires possibles sur des panneaux solaires situés au Nord.

Title: Removal of noise from seismic data using radon transformations
Inventor: ROBINSON JOHN M
IPC: G01V1/00
Filed: 2006-02-24
Abstract: Methods of processing seismic data to remove unwanted noise from meaningful reflection signals are provided for. The methods comprise the steps of assembling seismic data into common geometry gathers in an offset-time domain without correcting the data for normal moveout. The amplitude data are then transformed from the offset-time domain to the time-slowness domain using a Radon transformation. At least of subset of the transformed data is filtered to enhance its coherent noise content and to diminish its primary reflection signal content by defining a slowness high-pass region and, preferably, a slowness low-pass region. The low-pass region is defined to enhance the low slowness coherent noise content and to diminish the primary reflection signal content thereof, thereby generating a first subset of said transformed data having enhanced low slowness coherent noise content. The high-pass region is defined to enhance the high slowness coherent noise content and to diminish the primary reflection signal content thereof, thereby generating a second subset of said transformed data having enhanced high slowness coherent noise content. After filtering, the first and second subsets of transformed data are inverse transformed from the time-slowness domain back to the offset-time domain using an inverse Radon transformation to restore the data. The restored signal amplitude data of the first and second subsets of data are then subtracted from the assembled data, thereby enhancing its primary reflection signal content.
