Patent number: 9955047Abstract: Method and device for acquiring stream of the precisely time-stamped images, including the modulated light source, controlled by the absolute global real-time-base (e.g. provided by global navigation satellite system (GNSS) controller) and the image acquisition and processing unit, decoding the light modulation waveform and determining the time-stamp for every image frame. The GNSS time and position messages can be used to provide the full time- and location stamps for each frame. Multi-element light sources can be used to have more informative light modulation in the time domain. For time-stamping of several image streams (e.g. from several cameras) multiple light sources with the same modulation can be used.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2015Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignees: Tallinn University of Technology, OU Eliko Tehnoloogia ArenduskeskusInventors: Olev Märtens, Ago Mõlder, Raul Land, Tõnis Saar, Marko Reidla, Douglas Reid, Alexander Girfanov

Patent number: 9622679Abstract: A method for multichannel multifrequency analysis of an object, applying a set of excitation signals to the object and sampling the response signal from the object, using uniform and non-uniform undersampling. Non-uniform sampling of the response signal is performed, i.e., the sampling is performed for two or more different frequencies in one observation time slot. Also, uniform sampling of the response signal is performed, i.e., the sampling of a signal, corresponding to one frequency, is performed for two or more channels within one observation time slot and then sampling the same signal for another frequency for two or more channels within the next observation time slot.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2014Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: OÜ Eliko Tehnoloogia ArenduskeskusInventors: Mart Min, Paul Annus, Alar Kuusik, Raul Land, Toomas Parve

Patent number: 8674680Abstract: A method and device are provided for fast impedance measurement of a biological object having dynamically varying in time parameters, wherein a titlet shaped pulse is introduced into the object and a voltage response signal is measured and analyzed by a processing unit for estimating the impedance of the object. The titlet pulse has a start frequency substantially in one end of the frequency range of interest and a stop frequency substantially in the other end of the frequency range of interest and a duration of the titlet pulse is one cycle or less.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2010Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: Tallinn University of Technology OÜ Eliko Tehnoloogia ArenduskeskusInventors: Mart Minn, Toivo Paavle, Raul Land, Paul Annus, Toomas Parve

Publication number: 20130179441Abstract: Method for determining digital content preferences of the user is combining content access logs with additional information representing user physical activity patterns. For additional information describing changes in user activity pattern recordings from different sensors, like accelerometer, tilt sensor, magnetometer, e-field sensor, etc. integrated into handheld device will be used. Certain typical sensor patterns present higher or lower user interest comparing to an average.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2013Publication date: July 11, 2013Applicant: OÜ ELIKO TEHNOLOOGIA ARENDUSKESKUSInventor: OÜ ELIKO TEHNOLOOGIA ARENDUSKESKUS

Publication number: 20130054178Abstract: A method and device for high speed broadband testing of systems and substances using a binary, spectrally sparse sequence (SSS) as a periodic excitation waveform. The sequences with controllable frequency and magnitude spectra content are designed by component manipulation method or by edge manipulation method. The excitation waveform is typically pre-calculated, and kept in waveform memory, from where it is shifted out into digital to physical quantity converter (DQC). The sparse spectrum of the SSS makes it easy to create plenty of uncorrelated frequency sets with adjacent, but sufficiently different frequencies to form multi-path test systems, where all the paths can be measured simultaneously. The response of the sample under test (SUT) is sampled and the complex transfer function is calculated directly or indirectly via Impulse Response by Discrete Fourier Transform technique and its derivatives. The sequence bit interval and sampling interval have a predetermined ratio.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2012Publication date: February 28, 2013Applicants: OU ELIKO TEHNOLOOGIA ARENDUSKESKUS, TALLINN UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGYInventors: Raul Land, Paul Annus, Mart Min, Olev Märtens, Jaan Ojarand

Patent number: 8223020Abstract: A method for synchronizing a RFID receiver, comprising receiving an input signal from a RFID tag, said input signal comprising a preamble section, creating a first reference waveform, comprising at least a fraction of said preamble section, calculating a first correlation value by correlating said input signal and said first reference waveform, creating a second reference signal so that there is virtually zero correlation between said first reference waveform and said second reference waveform, and using said first correlation value and said second correlation value for adjusting synchronization timebase, wherein the sign and the size of said second correlation value indicates the size and the sign of phase inaccuracy of the synchronization timebase.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2008Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignees: Tallinn University of Technology, OU Eliko Tehnoloogia ArenduskeskusInventors: Olev Martens, Alar Kuusik, Aivar Liimets

Publication number: 20110074442Abstract: A method for impedance measurements, using synchronous detecting and modified rectangular signals. The method comprises introducing a first modified rectangular signal into a bioobject, receiving a response signal from said bioobject, introducing said response signal and a second modified rectangular signal into a synchronous detector, whereas either one or both rectangular signals are modified to remove particular higher harmonics from the signal. In one embodiment, either one or both the first and the second modified rectangular signals are generated by summing at least two modified rectangular signals, wherein at least one of such rectangular signals have a zero amplitude segment introduced between rectangular half periods.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2009Publication date: March 31, 2011Applicants: TALLINN UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, OU ELIKO TEHNOLOOGIA ARENDUSKESKUSInventors: Mart Min, Paul Annus, Jaan Ojarand
