  • Patent number: 10962387
    Abstract: A method of measuring a movement, the method comprising the steps of: acquiring and digitizing both a first measurement voltage across the terminals of a first secondary winding and also a second measurement voltage across the terminals of a second secondary winding of an inductive movement sensor; multiplying the first measurement voltage by itself in order to obtain a first component of a crossed vector, multiplying the second measurement voltage by itself in order to obtain a second component of the crossed vector, and multiplying together the first measurement voltage and the second measurement voltage in order to obtain a third component of the crossed vector; applying the crossed vector as input to a lowpass filter in order to obtain a filtered vector, and estimating the movement from the components of the filtered vector.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10067525
    Abstract: A configurable generic electrical member includes a processor means for performing at least one configured function in order to generate output signals for at least one piece of electrical equipment. The processor means includes a fast processor unit and a slow processor unit in which functional blocks are implemented, which blocks are arranged respectively to perform relatively fast operations and relatively slow operations, in that the functional blocks are independent and parameterizable, and in that the processor units are configurable to parameterize and interconnect the functional blocks selectively in such a manner as to perform the configured function.
