Title: A method of identifying a faulted component in a automotive system
Inventor: MASSIMILIANO MELIS
IPC: G01M15/12
Filed: 2016-06-17
Abstract: The method comprises operating an internal combustion engine according to a predefined detection routine 680, recording a noise signal 640 emitted by the activated internal combustion engine and analysing the recorded noise signal by means of a signal treatment algorithm 650 in order to determine a plurality of vibration modes 660 from the noise signal. The amplitude of the noise signal at each vibration mode is compared with an acceptable amplitude threshold 670. A faulted component 700 is identified if the amplitude of the correspondent vibration mode is greater than the acceptable amplitude threshold. The signal treatment algorithm may be a fast Fourier transform (FFT) to convert the noise signal from the time domain to the frequency domain, resulting in a frequency spectrum. The specific faulty component may be identified by using a relationship of vibration modes to that particular component or to a specific fault of that component.

Title: Vertical LED chip structure and manufacturing method therefor
Inventor: Mengyan Lv
IPC: H01L33/46
Filed: 2015-08-05
Abstract: The present invention provides a vertical LED chip structure and a manufacturing method therefor. A transparent conducting contact layer, a low-refractive index dielectric layer provided with a distribution pattern, and a reflecting layer are sequentially formed on a P-GaN layer to form a composite reflecting mirror. In this way, the low-refractive index dielectric layer can account for a large area of the composite reflecting mirror, and the light absorption ratio of the reflecting mirror can be greatly reduced. Moreover, as the transparent conducting contact layer has high transverse electrical conductivity, current can be uniformly distributed on the whole P-GaN layer, and the comprehensive and effective reflectivity of the composite reflecting mirror can be effectively increased.

Title: Reducing a gyroscope-bias component in a determined value of angular velocity with simultaneous sensor operation
Inventor: Mikulas Jandak
IPC: G01C19/5726
Filed: 2017-11-02
Abstract: A calibration angular velocity is generated about a sense axis, and a gyroscope assembly generates a signal in response to that angular velocity and a second angular velocity which may be unknown. A bias component of the second angular velocity is reduced in response to the gyroscope signal. The gyroscope may be a vibrational gyroscope which is made to rotate with the calibration angular velocity. The signal may be demodulated into quadrature-phase and in-phase signals. The calibration angular velocity may have a large frequency compared to the second angular velocity. The presence of a component of the calibration signal in the quadrature-phase signal, and hence the presence of a bias component in the in-phase signal, may then be detected and then suppressed using a phase adjuster. The in-phase signal may then be processed using a low-pass filter to suppress the high-frequency calibration angular velocity to determine the angular velocity.

Title: Internal inspection of pipelines
Inventor: DAVID ALEXANDER LINES
IPC: G01B5/00
Filed: 2018-04-12
Abstract: A pig 10 for internal pipeline inspection comprises a body 12 of resiliently-compressible material, such as gel or foam, extending along a central longitudinal axis 14. At least one strain gauge 26 is embedded in the material of the body and extends transversely, for example substantially radially, with respect to the central longitudinal axis. The strain gauge can deflect and elongate longitudinally with longitudinal deflection of a forward end of the body. There may be an array of strain gauges angularly spaced from each other about the central longitudinal axis. The pig is formed by supporting a strain gauge in a mould, submerging it in a liquid matrix, then setting the matrix material. Alternatively the strain gauge is inserted into a recess in a resiliently deformable block and then submerged in a liquid matrix material which is introduced into the recess. The material is then set around the strain gauge. A further alternative has a unit inserted into a passageway in a resiliently deformable block, the unit providing power or to receive strain gauge signals. The unit is connected to a strain gauge embedded in the block, and the passageway is then closed to form the body of the pig.
