Latest Patent Applications
Franco Simi's patent application titled "Method and System for Monitoring a Thin Structure" outlines a sophisticated approach to structural monitoring. This method involves acquiring acceleration signals from multiple accelerometers linked to a thin structure. The process includes obtaining the frequency spectrum of these signals, detecting frequency peaks, and analyzing temporal variations. For each frequency peak, an average and statistical value are calculated to define a range of frequency values. At predetermined intervals, the system checks if the detected frequency peaks fall outside their respective ranges. If they do, an error signal is generated, which, along with the processed accelerometer signals, is sent to a remote unit for analysis. This analysis helps determine the structural state and whether technical personnel intervention is necessary.
Conclusion
Franco Simi's innovative approach to monitoring thin structures demonstrates his commitment to advancing technology in this field. His work, although not yet patented, reflects significant potential for future developments.
