Publication number: 20180292436Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for monitoring a power circuit are disclosed. Electric conditions in the power circuit are sampled by a sensor device attached to the power circuit. The sampling can be based on a first sampling window and a second sampling window, the second sampling window being shorter than the first sampling window. Results of the sampling are analysed to determine at least one device drawing current from the circuit and to determine for the at least one device a harmonic vector based on the first sampling window and a transient vector based on the second sampling window. A signature vector for the at least one device is determined based on the harmonic vector and the transient vector.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2016Publication date: October 11, 2018Inventors: Sergey OGORODNOV, Philippe BERARD, Alberto BORINI

Publication number: 20080317200Abstract: A method for single photon counting transmission computed tomography (CT) is described. The method is based on an apparatus consisting of a radiation source and detectors on an opposite side of the subject from the source. The radiation source is for example an X-ray tube. The detectors are independently connected to parallel, fast, low-noise processing electronics capable of recording and counting individual X-ray photons at very high rate. In one embodiment of the invention, said detector is made of a scintillator coupled to a photodetector. The photodetector can be an avalanche photodiode (APD).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2005Publication date: December 25, 2008Applicant: UNIVERSITÉ DE SHERBROOKEInventors: Roger Lecomte, Philippe Berard, Jules Cadorette, David Lapointe
