  • Enhanced rotation measurement
    Patent number: 9383380
    Abstract: A method and system of determining motion parameters for a rotating machine. A detector is configured to receive a rotary motion input signal and a counter signal and to send a plurality of time values based on the input signal and the counter signal. A memory stores the plurality of time values in an ordered sequence and is coupled to the detector. A logic component selects time values stored in the memory by skipping a predefined number of time values in the ordered sequence, reads the selected time values to determine a coherent set of data values, and sends the coherent set of data values.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 12, 2015
    Date of Patent: July 5, 2016
    Assignee: Invensys Systems, Inc.
    Inventors: James Jacoby, Yan Zhao, William Boag, Francis W. Walker, Jr.
