20120140685 | SIMPLIFIED ADAPTIVE FILTER ALGORITHM FOR THE CANCELLATION OF TX-INDUCED EVEN ORDER INTERMODULATION PRODUCTS - One embodiment of the present invention relates to an adaptive filtering apparatus comprising first and second real valued adaptive filters, respectively configured to receive an adaptive filter input signal based upon a transmission signal in a transmission path. The first real valued adaptive filter is configured to operate a real valued adaptive filter algorithm on the input signal to estimate a first intermodulation noise component (e.g., an in-phase component) in a desired signal and to cancel the estimated noise. The second real valued adaptive filter is configured to operate a real valued adaptive filter algorithm on the input signal to estimate a second intermodulation noise component (e.g., a quadrature phase component) in the desired signal and to cancel the estimated noise. Accordingly, each filter operates a real valued adaptive algorithm to cancel a noise component, thereby removing complex cross terms between the components from the adaptive filtering process. | 06-07-2012 |

20090314163 | NANOPARTICLE FILTER APPARATUS FOR AMBIENT AIR - A device for filtering nanoparticulate matter below 300 nm in size from ambient air within a defined enclosed space comprises at least one filter medium containing at least one filter material, and a fan or blower, which blows or draws the air through the filter medium does so with sufficiently low air velocity in the filter medium that the air has a long residence time in the filter medium, during which time adhesive encounters between nanoparticulate matter and the solid phase of the filter material are highly probable. This air velocity is also being sufficiently low to ensure that, once adhesion has taken place, kinetic de-adhesion by the air flow is highly improbable. Such a device allows to keep the nanoparticle count inside the enclosed space kept below 5000/cc, equivalent to ‘natural woodland’, even though external levels may exceeded 200,000/cc: the removal of nanoparticles by cleaning making this <2.5% the external count. | 12-24-2009 |

20080201038 | Determination of the Actual Yaw Angle and the Actual Slip Angle of a Land Vehicle - In a method for determining the actual yaw rate and slip angle of a vehicle, a slip angle characteristic is first determined by a driving condition sensor system, a yaw rate sensor and a position determination system. If the slip angle characteristic remains below a threshold value, the actual yaw angle is adjusted to match the actual speed vector angle. Otherwise, the actual yaw angle is determined by a continuous value integration using yaw rate sensor values and the slip angle is calculated as the difference between the yaw angle and the speed vector angle. The slip angle is reliably determined with sufficient accuracy, without the need for additional sensors, if the values of the slip angle increase over several seconds. in addition, the yaw angle is reliably determined over long periods of time and the deviations in the values that occur in the integrating methods are adjusted at frequent intervals. | 08-21-2008 |
20080208501 | Method For Determining and Correcting Incorrect Orientations and Offsets of the Sensors of an Inertial Measurement Unit in a Land Vehicle - An inertial measurement unit (IMU) contains three linear acceleration sensors and three rotational speed sensors. For the sensors there are desired installation directions parallel to the co-ordinate axes of a Cartesian co-ordinate system which is fixed to the vehicle. The actual installation directions of the sensors may differ from the desired installation directions owing to incorrect orientations. By comparing accelerations which are measured by the linear acceleration sensors for different attitudes of the vehicle with acceleration values which are known for these different attitudes in the Cartesian co-ordinate system which is fixed to the vehicle, the actual installation directions of the linear acceleration sensors are determined. By using a co-ordinate transformation it is then possible to convert the measured accelerations into the actual accelerations. | 08-28-2008 |
