  • Patent number: 9903840
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for detecting temporally varying thermomechanical stresses and/or stress gradients over the wall thickness of metal bodies, in particular pipelines. In the method, the temperature on the outer surface of the body is measured in order to determine a temperature progression and stress progression therefrom. In addition, electromagnetic ultrasonic transducers are used at at least one measuring point on the outer surface in order to determine the progression of the stresses and/or stress gradients over time over the wall thickness of the body in conjunction with the result of the temperature measurement. The method allows the fatigue monitoring of pipelines even in the event of rapid stress changes.

  • Patent number: 9001880
    Abstract: Disclosed are devices and methods for identification and cancellation of interfering signals, especially far-end crosstalk (FEXT), in a communication system with at least two pairs of wires of a balanced line bundle. The devices include at least a cancellation circuit, which is connected downstream to dead time elements, an interference characteristic detection device and a cancellation control unit, which controls a setting of filter coefficients of an adaptive filter and the cancellation signal source. The adaptive filter is configured as a digital cancellation filter having filter coefficients separated in time by a first delay element having the delay time T, and having an adjustable additional delay time t, whereby the setting of the additional delay time ? takes place together with the setting of filter coefficients.

  • Publication number: 20120281746
    Abstract: Devices and methods for the cancellation for and identification of crosstalk for different application cases, particularly for near-end crosstalk (NEXT), are known. Too little attention is paid to the situation of non-reciprocally coupled systems. Therefore, devices and methods for cancellation and identification of far-end crosstalk (FEXT), which enable a reliable identification of an unknown system, are lacking in practice.
