| 20120059607 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR FILTERING ELECTRICAL CONSUMPTION CURVES AND ALLOCATING CONSUMPTION TO CLASSES OF APPLIANCES - The invention relates to a method for analysing the electrical consumption of a plurality of electrical appliances operating on a consumption site, by filtering a demand curve representing the electrical consumption of said appliances according to time. Said method is characterised in that it comprises the following steps: before the filtering per se of the demand curve, the demand curve is recorded and digitalised in such a way as to obtain a demand curve digitalised by periods of time; a set of categories of appliances is defined, each category being defined by similar cycles of power variation according to the time; an algorithm is defined for each category of appliances, for filtering the demand curve for said category of appliances, said algorithm being able to extract the power variation cycles from the digitalised demand curve and to allocate the electrical consumption to said category of appliances; then during the filtering per se of the digitalised demand curve, the filtering algorithms for each category of appliance are used successively to identify and regroup the power variation cycles consumed by said electrical appliances, from the digitalised demand curve. | 03-08-2012 |
| 20110105862 | DEVICE FOR ACQUIRING AND PROCESSING PHYSIOLOGICAL DATA OF AN ANIMAL OR OF A HUMAN IN THE COURSE OF A PHYSICAL OR MENTAL ACTIVITY - The invention relates to a system allowing the acquisition and processing of data representative of the physical or mental activity and/or of the physiological state of human or animal individuals. This system includes, for each individual, a unique individual electronic box encasing several sensors capable of measuring physical and/or biological quantities related to the physical and/or biological activity of the wearer of the box and of returning information. Each electronic box moreover is provided with an interface for radio communication with a device allowing the management of the data gathered from the individual boxes and management. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20100290316 | REAL-TIME ROBUST METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE TRAJECTORY OF ONE OR MORE CETACEANS BY MEANS OF PASSIVE ACOUSTICS, USING A LAPTOP COMPUTER - The trajectory of at least one marine animal emitting sound signals in the form of series of clicks, such as a cetacean, is passively determined. During successive processing time windows, raw analog signals are acquired from a plurality of hydrophones disposed in a marine environment and converted into digital data. Digital data filtering eliminates spurious noises and keeps the data, for each pair of hydrophones and each processing window, that corresponds to potential values (TDOAs) for the time-difference of arrival of the sound signals at two different hydrophones. For each hydrophone pair, the consistency of the TDOAs is checked and a number of filtered and mutually-consistent TDOAs are selected. Based on the filtered and mutually-consistent TDOAs, the successive instantaneous positions of the click sources are determined by means of nonlinear regression, and the trajectory of at least one marine animal in the environment is deduced in real time. | 11-18-2010 |
