20130214976 | METHOD FOR LOCALIZING AN OBJECT - A method for localizing an object, including the acts of: transmission of a first signal by a first transmitter assigned to the object and of a second signal by at least one second transmitter; reception of the first and of the second signal by at least three receivers; in each receiver and for the first and the second signal: a) generation of a first and of a second reference signal; b) correlation between the first signal and the first reference signal and between the second signal and the second reference signal; c) interpolation of samples resulting from the correlation; d) deduction of the propagation time of the first and of the second signal; e) calculation of the difference between the propagation times of the first and of the second signal; and, by triangulation, deduction of the position of the object. | 08-22-2013 |
20140287705 | Method for Processing a Frequency-Modulated Analog Signal and Corresponding Device - A method and corresponding device for processing a frequency-modulated analog signal are disclosed. The signal includes a number of symbols belonging to a set of M symbols respectively associated with at least one frequency of a set of M frequencies. The method includes a phase of reading each symbol of the signal that includes a sampling of a signal portion corresponding to the duration of a symbol and delivering N samples (M being less than N). M individual discrete Fourier transform processing operations are performed on the N samples. Each individual processing operation is associated with each of the frequencies. The M individual processing operations deliver M processing results. The value of the symbol can be determined from the M processing results. | 09-25-2014 |

20090135979 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PROCESSING THE FREQUENCY SHIFT OF THE CARRIER FREQUENCY OF A SIGNAL MODULATED WITH A QUADRATURE CONTINUOUS SINGLE-CARRIER MODULATION - A frequency shift of a carrier frequency of an input signal is estimated with a frequency estimator in order to obtain an estimate value. Then, the estimate of the frequency shift is refined, and the carrier frequency is corrected in consequence, with a phase-locked loop that is initialized with the estimate value. The phase-locked loop has a locking frequency range that is narrower than a locking frequency range of the frequency estimator. | 05-28-2009 |

20120300172 | Process for Designing an Ophthalmic Progressive Eyeglass - A process for designing an ophthalmic progressive eyeglass comprises providing an initial front surface and an initial back surface. Respective addition values of front and back surfaces of the eyeglass are varied based on said initial front and back surfaces using a surface derivation tool. These surface addition values are selected so that the eyeglass exhibits an eyeglass addition value which matches a wearer's prescription and a value for a design feature which matches a target value. Said target value may be used for customizing the ophthalmic progressive eyeglass. The process does not require point-to-point surface optimization. | 11-29-2012 |
20130038833 | PROGRESSIVE MULTIFOCAL OPHTHALMIC LENS - The invention relates to a finished or semi-finished lens which comprises: a disc containing all the points of the lens that have the same abscissa and the same ordinate as points located within a circle in the reference plane having a diameter of 30 millimetres and centred on the prism reference point; a progression length of less than 14.5 millimetres; a first specific point having a cylinder value equal to the maximum cylinder value of all the points of the lens located in the nasal area and in the disc; and a second specific point having a cylinder value equal to the maximum cylinder value of all the points of the lens located in the temporal area and in the disc; a first ratio between: the maximum gradient of the cylinder for the points of the lens that have the same abscissa and the same ordinate as the points located on segments connecting the mounting cross to the first and second specific points, and surface addition of less than 0.095 per millimetre; and a second ratio between: the maximum cylinder value of the first and second specific points, and surface addition of no more than 0.85. The invention enhances the comfort of the wearer. | 02-14-2013 |
20130148078 | PROGRESSIVE MULTIFOCAL OPHTHALMIC LENS - The invention relates to a lens having certain properties, including: a circle grouping together all the points of the lens having the same abscissa and the same ordinate as points located on a circle in the reference plane, having a diameter of 35 millimetres and centred on a point located 8.5 millimetres below the mounting cross and horizontally offset on the nasal side by 1.25 millimetres; a disc grouping together all the points of the lens having the same abscissa and the same ordinate as points located inside said circle; a progression length of less than 14.5 millimetres; a ratio difference between the value of the cylinder and the surface addition of less than 0.2 as an absolute value for every pair of points of the lens that are symmetrical relative to the mounting cross and have the same ordinate as the mounting cross, and an abscissa with an absolute value of less than 20 millimetres; a first ratio between: the maximum cylinder value for all the points of the circle; and the surface addition of less than 0.7; and a second ratio between: the maximum cylinder value for all the points of the disc; and the surface addition of no more than 1.05. The invention is suitable for improving the comfort of the wearer. | 06-13-2013 |

20130186868 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING RESISTANCE SPOT WELDING - A probeless energy delivery controller for a resistance spot welding system includes a power supply module that generates a first current and a power delivery module configured to generate a second current from the first current. The current is delivered to a first electrode and a second electrode that have at least two weld pieces interposed there-between. As the current flows through the weld pieces, the resistance and temperature of the weld pieces increase such that the weld pieces weld together. The system further includes a voltage control module that receives a current reading indicating a value of the second current, estimates a resistance of the weld pieces based on the value of the second current, and determines a phase angle for setting a voltage outputted by the power supply module based on the estimated resistance and a power profile. The power supply module generates the first current based on the phase angle. | 07-25-2013 |

20130269439 | ULTRASONIC IN-PROCESS MONITORING AND FEEDBACK OF RESISTANCE SPOT WELD QUALITY - A method and apparatus for ultrasonic in-process monitoring and feedback of resistance spot weld quality uses at least one transducer located in the electrode assembly transmitting through a weld tip into an underway weld. Analysis of the spectrum of ultrasonic waves provides the operator with an indication of the size, thickness, location, dynamics of formation and quality of the spot weld. The method presents a fundamentally new physical approach to the characterization of the spot weld quality. Together with transmission mode it includes new modes of operation of ultrasonic probes such as a reflection mode and simultaneous use of transmission and reflection modes, and a new physical interpretation of the signal analysis results. | 10-17-2013 |
