Patent number: 8768634Abstract: A diagnosis method of defects in a motor and a diagnosis device thereof are described. A vibration sensing module can generate a vibration signal corresponding to a vibration of a motor during operation of the motor. Then, a data pre-processing procedure is performed to eliminate noises of the vibration signal. After the data pre-processing procedure, an analyzing procedure is performed to determine a first harmonic of spectrum features in the spectrum of the pre-processed vibration signal. And, other spectrum feature(s) is(/are) retrieved from the spectrum of the pre-processed vibration signal according to the first harmonic. Finally, a comparison procedure is performed with a defect spectrum feature database according to the retrieved spectrum features, so as to determine a defect type of the motor.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2009Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Chia-Lin Fu, Chen-Kai Hsu, Ming-Hsiu Hsu

Patent number: 7861589Abstract: The invention is to provide a ring body and supporting structure of a vibratile gyroscope. The ring body is a thin sheet ring body having a height. The supporting structure is provided for supporting the ring body. The supporting structure is located on two opposing edges of the ring body. The supporting structures provide axial and radial supporting forces to restrain the ring body, providing better sensitivity and capability to resist environmental vibration and noise. Additionally, a reinforcing structure surrounding the ring body is arranged at an interior surface of the ring body to raise the rigidity of the ring body and maintain an elliptical resonance mode. If the reinforcing structure si arranged as high as the ring body, then it is possible to arrange electrodes at both inner and outer sides of the ring body to raise the effective area of driving and/or sensing electrodes.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2003Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Gwo-Shiang Lee, Sung-Tao Lin, Shih-Ping Lee, Ming-Wei Chang, Han-Jou Li, Ming-Hsiu Hsu, Chin-Chung Nien
