Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is titled "Method for Calibration of Dynamic Motion Sensors." This invention presents an improved method for calibrating dynamic motion sensors. The method involves sending a low-frequency driving signal to an exciter to generate harmonic movement in a shaker table. An optical position sensor is used to produce an output representative of position, allowing for the computation of acceleration of both the shaker table and the dynamic motion sensor under test (SUT). The output of the SUT is then compared with the instantaneous acceleration of the shaker table at various frequencies to define the performance characteristics of the SUT within a selected frequency range. Another aspect of this patent includes the simultaneous direct measurement of position and time for calibration purposes.

Another notable patent is the "Reference Sensor Method for Calibration of Dynamic Motion Sensors." This invention outlines a method for determining the magnitude and phase calibration of dynamic motion sensors, such as accelerometers and velocimeters, at low vibration frequencies. The method utilizes an optical encoder as a reference to calibrate the sensitivity of the dynamic motion sensor mounted on a shaker mechanism. This mechanism imparts harmonic linear motion, and the optical encoder measures displacement at frequencies where its accuracy surpasses that of conventional accelerometers.
