  • Publication number: 20240168474
    Abstract: A method of monitoring a propulsion system of a vehicle includes determining a health indicator from a diagnostic signal based on electrical outputs from a resolver connected to an electric motor of the propulsion system, the diagnostic signal related to a resolver offset and/or a resolver wobble, calculating a reference value based on values of the health indicator determined during a first time period, and monitoring the health indicator over a second time period, where the monitoring includes continuously or periodically calculating a trend value of the health indicator over a plurality of cycles. The method also includes comparing each trend value to the reference value and estimating a difference between the trend value and the reference value for each cycle, predicting whether a fault will occur based on the difference, and based on the predicting indicating that a fault will occur, outputting a fault indication.

  • Publication number: 20240168529
    Abstract: An electronic device includes an M.2 connector, a protection circuit, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine whether a module inserted into the M.2 connector is a 4G module or a 5G module. In response to that the processor determines the inserted module is the 4G module, the processor causes the protection circuit to execute a protection process. In response to that the processor determines the inserted module is the 5G module, the processor causes the protection circuit not to execute the protection process. In the protection process, the protection circuit blocks an electrical connection between a first pin of the M.2 connector and a first power supply and blocks an electrical connection between a second pin of the M.2 connector and a reset signal. A method for making two communication modules be compatible in a single M.2 connector and a computer-implemented method thereof are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20240167888
    Abstract: In an indoor environment on fire, automatic deployment of sensors disposed on, beneath or over the floor to look upward the ceiling to observe a body of smoke and flame risen near the ceiling allows important information regarding states and dynamics of the body of smoke and flame to be gathered at an early stage of fire (e.g. before arrival of firefighters). By distributing the sensors over the indoor environment, the states and dynamics of the body of smoke and flame are monitored holistically (i.e. as a whole) even at the early stage of fire. Such information is useful to predict development of the fire. In one implementation, a sensor is held in an infrastructure sensor holder mounted on the ceiling during normal time. Upon detecting occurrence of fire, the sensor drops from the holder to land on the floor and orients a sensing direction vertically upward to perform monitoring.

  • Publication number: 20240167902
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a high-resolution graphene heterojunction based pressure sensor. The present disclosure relates to the technical field of pressure sensor design. The present disclosure uses a graphene/hexagonal boron nitride/graphene (G/h-BN/G) vertical heterojunction thin film as a pressure-sensitive diaphragm. A sensor substrate has a micro-nano arrayed concave cavity structure. Under the action of atmospheric pressure, the G/h-BN/G vertical heterojunction thin film generates localized internal stress, which changes an energy band structure of the vertical heterojunction thin film, and thus changes a tunneling current between the two upper and lower graphene layers, thereby reflecting the external atmospheric pressure changes. The principle of the graphene heterojunction based pressure sensor is based on tunneling effect.
