Abstract:
A modified version of a MEMS self-test procedure is presented that can be used to detect the amplitude and frequency of an external vibration from an ambient environment. The method implements processing circuitry that correlates an output sense signal, s(t), with a plurality of periodic signal portions and a plurality of shifted periodic signal portions to generate a plurality of correlation values. A frequency associated with the external vibration is determined based on the plurality of correlation values.
Abstract:
The present application discloses a calculation method for thickness of inner oxide layer of a martensitic heat-resistant steel in steam environment. The calculation method takes into account the steam temperature, the steam pressure and the operation time, which are the three factors that have significant effects on the thickness of the oxide layer, and with the help of a metal oxidation kinetic model, the formula is mathematically modified by combining a large number of actual operation and laboratory simulation experimental data of the power plant. A calculation method for thickness of inner oxide layer of 9% Cr martensitic heat-resistant steel in steam environment is obtained by using linear fitting and curve fitting, etc.

Abstract:
A sensor interface operates to communicate a sensed quantity along one or more processing pathways and in different data representations. The signal representations can be swapped along one or more locations of the signal processing branches. These branches are independent from one another and combined at an interface component for transmission along a single path or node for a control unit.
Abstract:
A method for processing a time discrete, one dimensional, measurement signal. The method includes the step of applying to the sequence a recursive filter having a variable recursion coefficient (K(n)), wherein the recursive filter is embodied in such a manner that, in each case, the output, measured value (y(n)) obtained for a measured value (x(n)) is obtainable by subtracting a preceding output, measured value (y(n−1)) from such measured value (x(n)), by multiplying the obtained difference value (d(n)) with a recursion coefficient (K(n)) associated with such measured value (x(n)) and by adding the obtained product to the preceding output, measured value (y(n−1)). For determining the recursion coefficient (K(n)) associated with a measured value (x(n)), a predetermined function (Klin(da)) rising at least sectionally with the magnitude of the difference value (da) is applied to the magnitude (da(n)) of the difference value (d(n)) obtained for such measured value and the obtained function value (Klin(n)) is applied recursion coefficient (K(n)) as corresponding to such measured value x(n), at least when the function value (Klin(n)) is greater than or equal to the recursion coefficient associated with the preceding measured value (K(n−1)).

A method of timing a remarkable angular position (θR) of at least one sensor (12) carried by a tire (10) rotating relative to an external frame of reference. The following steps are performed: forming, from an output signal from the sensor (12), a reference signal suitable for presenting a remarkable extremum during one revolution of the tire (10); determining the time of an origin angular position (θ0) of the sensor as being the time of the remarkable extremum of the reference signal; and determining the time of the remarkable angular position (θR) relative to the time of the origin angular position.
Abstract:
The inventive system is used to design a technical system, which is characterized by condition variables and by diagnostic variables. A measurement field comprising first measured variables is incorporated into the design of the technical system, said first measured variables being measured with a predetermined accuracy. In addition, second measured variables can be measured with a predetermined accuracy. According to the inventive method, sensitivity variables are determined for the first measured variables. To determine said sensitivity variables, the extent to which a modification of the measurement accuracy of the first measured variables influences at least one parameter is calculated and to determine the second sensitivity variables, the extent to which the measurement of the second measured variables influences at least one parameter is calculated. The measurement field is then modified in such a way that the accuracy of the measured variables is altered, the first measured variables are removed from the measurement field and/or the second measured variables are added to the measurement field.
