  • METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE ANGULAR POSITION OF AN ENGINE
    Publication number: 20180347483
    Abstract: A method for determining the angular position of an engine by a crankshaft sensor, having the following steps: production by the crankshaft sensor of a signal exhibiting a “revolution” event, determination of the revolution out of two revolutions, since a crankshaft makes two revolutions per engine cycle for a four-stroke engine, for each “no tooth” event potentially produced, a change in the direction of rotation of the engine is suspected, and an analysis step is performed which comprises: if, during an inverse window, a further “no tooth” event is produced, the change in direction of rotation is confirmed.

  • PREFABRICATED CONCRETE SLAB FLOOR AND METHOD OF FABRICATING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20180347191
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composite floor, typically a wood/concrete composite floor. The composite floor comprises a support structure being adapted to be attached to a concrete layer. The support structure comprises a top portion being made of at least one support panel comprising at least one opening through which the concrete layer may flow into the inner portion of the support structure once the top portion of the support structure is being disposed on the top of the concrete layer. The upward flow of the concrete creates at least one anchor point, which, once being harden in the inner portion of the support structure, improves the adhesion between the support panels and the concrete and ensures better mechanical rigidity and resistance of the assembly made of the panels and the concrete.

  • MICROMECHANICALLY ACTUATED DEFORMABLE OPTICAL BEAM STEERING FOR WAVELENGTH TUNABLE OPTICAL SOURCES, FILTERS AND DETECTORS
    Publication number: 20180348436
    Abstract: Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) has enabled telecommunication service providers to fully exploit the transmission capacity of optical fibers. State of the art systems in long-haul networks now have aggregated capacities of terabits per second. Moreover, by providing multiple independent multi-gigabit channels, WDM technologies offer service providers with a straight forward way to build networks and expand networks to support multiple clients with different requirements. In order to reduce costs, enhance network flexibility, reduce spares, and provide re-configurability many service providers have migrated away from fixed wavelength transmitters, receivers, and transceivers, to wavelength tunable transmitters, receivers, and transceivers as well as wavelength dependent add-drop multiplexer, space switches etc.

  • Systems and methods for flood zone modeling
    Patent number: 10147057
    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for flood hazard zone modeling. In one implementation, one or more relevant stream segments are identified from an input stream network. One or more cross profiles are defined for one or more selected points on the relevant stream segments, with the selected points located within a flood hazard area. A high resolution flood level elevation map is generated by interpolating flood level elevation from the selected points. A flood depth map is generated having a flood depth value for each of the selected points computed as a difference between the high resolution flood level elevation map and a terrain elevation. One or more flood zones are defined in the flood depth map. The flood zones have a positive flood depth for a return period.
