Patent CA-2429164-C (CA)
Inventor: BOURGEOIS JEAN-MARC
IPC: G01B7/14
Filed: 2001-11-07
Granted: 2007-01-09
Abstract: A non-contact measuring method and apparatus for producing a signal (34) representative of a distance (e) between facing surfaces of a first (3) and second parts (5), which are closely spaced apart such as the rotor and stator of an electric rotating machine. The method resides in positioning a sensor (7) on the surface of the first part (3). The sensor (7) includes first (9) and second (11) parallel, superimposed conductive plates electrically insulated from one another. The second plate (11) is located in between the first plate (9) and the surface of the first part (3). The first plate (9) is fed with a high frequency signal through a resistance (19). A high impedance, low input capacity, unitary gain voltage amplifier (27) is fed with the high frequency signal through the resistance (19). The second plate (11) is fed with an output signal (31) of the amplifier (27). The output signal (31) of the amplifier (27) is directly proportional to the distance (e) between the two surfaces (3, 5). The sensor (7) acts as a capacitance in a low pass RC-filtercircuit where R is the resistance (19). The sensor (7) may be adapted to determine discharges in the stator when mounted the roter.

Granted: 2012-12-04
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un système de croisement/collision d'un véhicule autonome qui permet une installation, un fonctionnement et un entretien simples, peu coûteux et décentralisés d'un système d'avertissement de collision/croisement d'un véhicule fiable. Ce système d'avertissement autonome utilise de préférence un seul réseau de communication radio à fréquence TDM avec une synchronisation par rapport à l'horloge GPS, un arbitrage d'intervalle de temps et un protocole UDP sans connexion afin de diffuser des messages dans les véhicules et les composantes du système d'avertissement. Le mappage localisé adapté des composantes dignes d'intérêt à l'intérieur du système d'avertissement permet d'éliminer le besoin de bases de données centralisées ou de coordination et de systèmes de contrôle ; ledit mappage permet également aux nouveaux véhicules et aux systèmes d'avertissement d'être rapidement ajoutés dans le système de manière décentralisée. De préférence, les systèmes d'avertissement fixes sont déployés en tant qu'unités auto-alimentées chacune équipée de manière à recevoir des messages de diffusion et à communiquer avec les autres unités au moyen d'un canal R.F. à faible puissance dans une configuration principale/subordonnée redondante. Ces schémas de communication sont conçus de préférence pour un fonctionnement à faible rapport cyclique afin de diminuer la consommation de puissance.

Title: Frequency error estimation and frame synchronization in an ofdm system
Inventor: VIJAYAN RAJIV
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2005-01-07
Granted: 2010-03-16
Abstract: Frequency error estimation and frame synchronization are performed at a receiver in an OFDM system based on a metric that is indicative of detected pilot power. The metric may be defined based on cross-correlation between two received symbols obtained in two OFDM symbol periods. For frequency error estimation, a metric value is computed for each of multiple hypothesized frequency errors. The hypothesized frequency error for the metric value with the largest magnitude is provided as the estimated frequency error. For frame synchronization, a correlation value is obtained for each OFDM symbol period by correlating metric values obtained for NC (e.g., most recent) OFDM symbol periods with NC expected values. The expected values are computed in a manner consistent with the manner in which the metric values are computed. Peak detection is performed on the correlation values obtained for different OFDM  symbol periods to determine frame synchronization.
