  • Patent number: 5301121
    Abstract: A method for measuring at least one electrical parameter of the operation of a p-phase power line, p being a positive integer, arranges respective sensing apparatus to sense at least one of the voltages and currents associated with each phase of the power line. Analog-to-digital conversion apparatus is used to digitize the response of each sensing apparatus, thereby to generate corresponding digital responses. A digital computer is used to correct each digitized response of the analog-to-digital conversion apparatus for non-linearities, gain errors and phasing errors in the responses of the sensing apparatus and for non-linearities and gain errors in the responses of the analog-to-digital conversion apparatus. The computer is used to high-pass digitally filter each digital response that has been corrected, in order to suppress any attendant direct term.

  • Patent number: 4385255
    Abstract: A linear array ultrasonic transducer is provided primarily for use in a medical diagnostic examination device in which an ultrasonic beam is projected toward an object to be examined, thereby to examine the condition of the tissues of that object. The linear array ultrasonic transducer comprises an array of tiny oscillatory elements and electrode leads connected by a conductive adhesive to facilitate the fabrication, and two registering layers and a lens layer mounted on the front sides of the tiny oscillatory elements so that an image of high resolution may be produced.
