  • Patent number: 7573391
    Abstract: A temperature sensing system (100) for use with a variable reluctance sensor such as found in vehicle wheel bearing applications, which utilizes existing sensors (12) such as the antilock braking system or traction control system sensors as a direct current resistive temperature gauge. The temperature sensing system (100) includes electrical components (R4, C1) configured to separate the DC voltage (VDC(t)) representative of sensor temperature from the original magnetically induced AC voltage output signal (VSN1(t)) representative of the rotation such as vehicle wheel speed, thereby permitting the temperature sensing system (100) to be retrofitted and installed in vehicles or other components without significant alteration to an existing wiring harness or electrical components.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20070179986
    Abstract: An event log management system includes an event log source to generate event log data associated with an asset of an electronic network, an event log database to store the event log data, an asset database to store asset information, and a log report generator to package the event log data into a log report based on the asset information stored in the asset database.
