Patent CA-2355697-C (CA)
Inventor: MOREAU PASCAL
IPC: G01D18/00
Filed: 1999-12-15
Granted: 2007-04-17
Abstract: The invention concerns a system for acquiring logic states of multiple sensors operating in on-off mode, wherein each sensor (K) consists of a switch connected in series with a pull resistor (R) between a ground and a supply potential (VA). The junction point of the switch and the corresponding resistor is connected to respective input of an analog multiplexer (MUX), a voltage representing the supply potential being likewise connected to a specific input of the multiplexer. The voltages are digitised (CAN) at the multiplexer output, and a calculating automaton compares, for each sensor, the digitised voltage at a low threshold and a high threshold to determine the open or closed state of the sensor and possibly a fault. The low threshold and the high threshold are pre-recorded for each sensor, and the invention is characterised in that the thresholds are modified on the basis of the value of the digitised supply voltage (VA) at the converter output, so that the determination of the sensor state is not disturbed by variations in the supply voltage of the sensors. The invention is applicable to the malfunction and for displaying such malfunctions in a complex system with numerous distributed sensors (in aeronautics, industry, and the like).

Abstract: Models in compositional state systems are reduced by defining a set of events of interest and defining a transitive effect machine for components in the model relative to the events of interest. A transitive effect machine for a given component is defined by determining the transitive effects of events in the given component on other components in the model.   Transitive effect machines are defined relative to reduced versions of other components in the model. The transitive effect machines are defined by succesive assumptions of the reduced versions of the other components in the model and successively defined approximations to the transitive effect machine.

Granted: 2012-10-23
Abstract: The present invention employs one or more complementary sequences, e.g., Golay pairs of sequences, to provide accurate and efficient synchronization between radio transceivers. A matched filter corresponding to a complementary pair of sequences is used to correlate the received signal with one of the complementary pair of sequences. A peak output is detected from the matched filter, and the detected peak is used to generate a timing estimate for synchronizing transmissions between transceivers. Each of the complementary sequences has minimal aperiodic autocorrelation sidelobe values for all non-zero delays of that complementary sequence and a maximal autocorrelation main lobe value for a zero delay of that complementary sequence. The one sequence may be used as a preamble portion of a random access message transmitted by a mobile station to a base station over a random access channel. The sequence may also be used as a synchronization code transmitted by the base over a synchronization channel and used by mobile stations to obtain synchronization. An efficient Golay correlator and a bank of efficient Golay correlators for correlating respectively with a single sequence and with a set of orthogonal sequences are disclosed.
