G01R 35/00
A61B 5/00

Abstract:

A calibration system for a magnetometer having an unknown gain is disclosed. A calibration magnetic field is generated at a calibration frequency of a known amplitude at the magnetometer. A measurement of the calibrating magnetic field is reported by the magnetometer. A ratio of an amplitude of the calibration magnetic field measurement reported by the magnetometer and the known amplitude of the calibrating magnetic field at the magnetometer is computed. The unknown gain of the magnetometer is determined at least partially based on computed ratio.

International Classification:

A61B 5/245
A61B 5/248

Abstract:

An actuated magnetic field is generated at a plurality of distinct frequencies that at least partially cancels an outside magnetic field at the plurality of distinct frequencies, thereby yielding a total residual magnetic field. The total residual magnetic field is coarsely detected and a plurality of coarse error signals are respectively output. The total residual magnetic field is finely detected and a plurality of fine error signals are respectively output. The actuated magnetic field is controlled respectively at the plurality of distinct frequencies at least partially based on at least one of the plurality of coarse error signals, and finely controlled respectively at the plurality of distinct frequencies at least partially based on at least one of the plurality of fine error signals.

Abstract:

While the concept of saving automobile's intake of fuel or electricity by converting kinetic energy of an automobile into some form of potential energy, usually either electrical potential or compressed gas potential, in order to later convert that energy back into kinetic energy, has been well recognised over the years, and while the number of regenerative braking techniques and devices have been introduced over the years, with the exception of an electrical engine/generator, these techniques have not been well adapted. That was caused in part by either not a very simple implementation of those devices or by a necessity to completely re-engineer automobile powertrain in order to use those techniques. Present invention introduces a method of regenerative braking where no components of an automobile are to be replaced or removed and none of their functionality is modified. The new component described here is implemented as an additional, one piece, complete device, placed onto the existing automobile wheel's hub, and covered by the automobile's wheel. This method of regenerative braking is therefore applicable to all the automobiles, independent of their power source, to newly built automobiles and the automobiles already on the road.
