Abstract: A receiver coil of an inductive angular position sensor can have circuit features that become smaller than reasonable for high resolution measurement designs. This is especially true when multiple receiver coils are used, such as in a three-phase configuration, and when each of the multiple receiver coils is in a twisted loop configuration. The disclosed inductive angular position sensor utilizes different spatial frequencies for a rotor coil and the receiver coils. For example, the spatial frequency of the receiver coils may be kept smaller than the rotor coil. In this condition, the fundamental frequency of the angular position sensor is shifted to the least common multiple of the spatial frequencies, making the angular resolution of the inductive angular position sensor high, while the circuit features of the receiver coils are maintained at a reasonable size.

Abstract: This document describes systems for and techniques of alternating-current (AC) power harmonic-based circuit state detection. In various aspects, a system includes a component, a bypass circuit for the component, and a controller with an AC power harmonic-based circuit state detector that can determine a state of the bypass circuit. The AC power harmonic-based circuit state detector may convert an AC voltage of the AC power to a direct current (DC) voltage, filter the DC voltage to obtain a voltage of a harmonic of the AC power, and compare the voltage of the harmonic to a threshold to determine that the bypass circuit is in a fault state (blown fuse). By so doing, the controller of the system can notify a user that the bypass circuit needs to be reset or replaced to reenable operation of the system and avoid poor user experience typically associated with a non- or mis-functioning system.

Abstract: A PON system includes both a PON via which optical services are delivered and a wireless network overlaying the PON. The wireless network may be a self-organizing wireless mesh network, and may generally operate as a logical signaling pathway via which information regarding optical states/statuses of PON components and/or related information is delivered from the field to back-end servers of the PON system.
