Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is titled "Online frequency analysis for resource optimized systems." This method and system are designed for acquiring and analyzing vehicle motion signals to determine vehicle performance. The sampled vehicle motion signals are transferred from the time domain to the frequency domain using online frequency analysis. Once the frequency spectrum for the sampled vehicle motion data is obtained, the main frequencies and associated amplitudes are identified. Depending on the type of test conducted and the vehicle components to be analyzed, the natural frequencies of interest will be known and identified in the frequency spectrum. Online frequency analysis is utilized for analyzing the pre-defined frequencies in embedded systems with restricted computational resources and storage facilities. A weight filter matrix is employed to calculate the frequency spectrum of interest in real time, pre-calculated according to a given sampling time, sampling rate, and selected frequencies.

Another significant patent is the "Method and device for generating distinguishable signals and method of distinguishing signals of similar shape." This invention addresses the challenge of distinguishing two signals from different sources that have similar shapes. A signal generator offsets the signals from each other, ensuring that the values each signal assumes can be positively identified within permissible value ranges of one unique channel. The offset of the signals is at least as large as the range of values for each channel, allowing for safe detection of any mix-up of channels from a signal generator to an electronic control unit. If no positive assignment of a signal to one channel is possible, an error message can be provided. This analysis measures not only the digital value of the signal but also the analog value, i.e., the absolute amplitude of that signal, to determine the offset.
