Patent GB-2420861-A (GB)
Title: Frequency doubler for a detectable component
Inventor: MAPLESTON DAVID BERNARD
IPC: G07D7/04
Filed: 2002-10-21
Abstract: A detectable component has a first inductive coupler (L;M) adapted to couple inductively to a second inductive coupler (L1) of a detection apparatus when the detectable component is in range of or coupled to the detection apparatus. The first inductive coupler has a resistive component (M) with a resistance that varies with magnetic field to cause modulation of a carrier signal supplied to the second inductive coupler of the detection apparatus, the detectable component having a characteristic signature that enables the detectable component to be distinguished by the detection apparatus from other such detectable components having different characteristic signatures. The circuit in the detectable component acts as a frequency doubler. The couplings effective form a transformer having a secondary coil which exhibits giant magneto resistive or impedence properties.

Title: Frequency tuning of film bulk acoustic resonators (FBAR)
Inventor: RAO VALLURI
IPC: H03H3/04
Filed: 2006-12-06
Abstract: Multiple FBARs may be manufactured on a single wafer and later diced. Ideally, all devices formed in a wafer would have the same resonance frequency. However, due to manufacturing variances, the frequency response of the FBAR devices may vary slightly across the wafer. An RF map may be created to determine zones (50, 52) over the wafer where FBARs in that zone all vary from a target frequency by a similar degree. A tuning layer (40) may be deposited over the wafer. Lithographically patterned features to the tuning layer based on the zones identified by the RF map may be used to correct the FBARs to a target resonance frequency with the FBARs still intact on the wafer.

Title: Embedded fibre optic sensor for mounting on wind turbine components and method of producing the same.
Inventor: OLESEN IB SVEND
IPC: F03D11/00
Filed: 2008-07-03
Abstract: A fibre optic sensor is embedded in an integral housing block formed by moulding or extrusion. The housing block has a mounting surface for attachment to a wind turbine component by adhesive or mechanical connection. In a FBG sensor, the grating of the FBG sensor is included in the integral housing block. As a result, it is not necessary to reapply the coating of the optical fibre removed when the grating was formed. In an embodiment of a strain sensor, the housing block may be separated from the turbine component by means of separated terminating sections to increase the area over which the FBG sensor's measurement is made. Alternatively, in an arrangement where the sensor is not to detect strain, the housing block may be mounted on the component by means of a smaller mounting portion.
