  • Patent number: 8872521
    Abstract: An electrical parameter detection device is configured for detecting electrical parameters of a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) connector including a plurality of power pins. The electrical parameter detection device includes a processor module, a first detection module, and a second detection module. The processor module continuously detects voltage values of electric potentials provided by each of the power pins of the PCI connector using the first detection module, and determines time sequences of the electric potentials according to the voltage values of the electric potentials. Furthermore, the processor module detects the amount of power provided by each of the power pins of the PCI connector using the second detection module.

  • Patent number: 8836326
    Abstract: When the zero-crossing of one of the output signals of magnetic sensors has been detected, a rotation angle computing device identifies a magnetic pole sensed by the first magnetic sensor based on the other two output signals. Subsequently, the rotation angle computing device identifies the magnetic pole sensed by the second magnetic sensor and the magnetic pole sensed by the third magnetic sensor based on the magnetic pole sensed by the first magnetic sensor. After that, the rotation angle computing device corrects the amplitude of the output signal of each magnetic sensor based on the identified magnetic poles respectively sensed by the magnetic sensors. Then, the rotation angle computing device computes the electric angle ?e of the rotor based on the corrected output signals.

  • Patent number: 8797036
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for adaptive source electromagnetic (EM) surveying. In accordance with one embodiment, a source waveform signal is generated, and an outgoing EM signal which is based on the source waveform signal is transmitted using an antenna. A responsive electromagnetic signal is detected using at least one electromagnetic sensor, and a receiver waveform signal based on the responsive electromagnetic signal is obtained. A feedback control signal which depends on at least one input signal is determined. Based on the feedback control signal, the source waveform signal is adapted. Other embodiments, aspects, and features are also disclosed.
