Abstract: Vibrational Analysis technology translates acoustic/vibratory energy created by industrial processes into useful, process-related information. This invention enables a non-acoustical expert to easily collect and interpret the data.

Abstract: A DC to N phase AC converter, where N is an integer greater than 2, includes a DC source having first and second terminals for deriving equal amplitude opposite polarity DC voltages, a series resonant circuit, and N output terminals, one for each phase of the converter. The series resonant circuit is selectively connected in series with the first and second terminals and the N output terminals for an interval equal to one half cycle of the resonant circuit resonant frequency, so that current flows between a selected one of the first and second terminals and the resonant circuit and a selected one of the N output terminals during the interval. The resonant circuit current is zero at the beginning and end of the interval. A capacitor shunting each of the output terminals has a value relative to the capacitance of the series resonant circuit such that the voltage across each output terminal remains approximately constant between adjacent exchanges of energy between the resonant circuit and the output terminal.
