  • Method for determining the quality factor of an oscillator
    Patent number: 10578661
    Abstract: A method for determining a quality factor of an electrostatically actuated oscillator, the oscillator having a resonance frequency, the method including generating an excitation voltage defined as being the sum of a sinusoidal voltage and a voltage pulse; applying the excitation voltage at the input of the oscillator; acquiring in the time domain a response voltage present at the output of the oscillator after having ceased applying the excitation voltage at the input of the oscillator; determining the quality factor of the oscillator from the response voltage acquired at the output of the oscillator.

  • Method and System for Reporting Location Information and Time Information of an Employee
    Publication number: 20190012745
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method for the reporting to the server of location information and time information of an employee within the framework of a tax declaration, in which said method comprises: determining an identity of the employee by means of a mobile device that is associated to said employee; determining said location information of the employee based on a localization of said mobile device, in which the location information comprises a first and a second location; determining time information comprising a first and second period of time by means of said mobile device, in which the employee is subject to a first tax authority linked to the first location during the first period of time and is subject to a second tax authority linked to the second location during the second period of time; registering said location information and said time information on said mobile device; transferring said registered location information and said time information to said server withi
