20100268507 - Apparatus for testing multiple conductor wiring and terminations for electronic systems: An apparatus for testing connections in a system has a plurality of inputs each adapted to couple to a test point in the system under test and a switching module. The switching module includes a first output selectively coupled to receive a first group of one or more of the... Agent: Workman Nydegger 1000 Eagle Gate Tower

20100268508 - System and method for measuring tilt using lowest degrees of freedom of accelerometer: Systems and methods are provided for calculating the tilt of an object from a minimum set of measurements. In the described embodiments, one or more accelerometers are used to sense tilt in fewer degrees of freedom than would otherwise be required in a conventional measurement apparatus. In one embodiment, a... Agent: Philips Intellectual Property & Standards

20100268509 - Turbomachine, gap-measuring system, and method for determining a rotor gap: The invention relates to a turbomachine having a rotor (10) comprising rotor blades (12), having a rotor housing (16) which surrounds at least sections of the rotor (10) or the rotor blade (12) so as to form a rotor gap (d), and having a gap-measuring system (18) which is coupled... Agent: Howison & Arnott, L.l.p

20100268510 - Using statistics to locate signals in noise: Computation of variance or variance of the autocorrelation over a moving window of various sizes of a signal containing noise and possibly a small digital signal provides a sensitive, frequency independent indication of the likelihood of the presence of a small pulse, chirp or even spread spectrum digital signal possibly... Agent: Whitham, Curtis & Christofferson & Cook, P.C.

20100268511 - Method, program and apparatus for optimizing configuration parameter set of system: The method includes the steps of: storing a plurality of parameter sets; selecting one of the plurality of parameter sets as a test parameter set to be evaluated; measuring performance only for one batch job out of N (N is a positive integer) batch jobs constituting full set performance measurement...
