A method for initializing a sensor array comprises executing a statistical test on a set consisting of first measurements measured by the sensors of the array, the statistical test being able to detect in the first measurements at least one aberrant measurement caused by a presence of an object, called a disruptor, this disruptor modifying the measured physical quantity nonuniformly, wherein if the execution of the statistical test detects at least one aberrant measurement, then the method comprises signaling the presence of the disruptor, and if the execution of the statistical test does not detect at least one aberrant measurement, then the method comprises acquiring second measurements of the physical quantity, the second measurements being measured by the sensors.

An apparatus and method is presented for network video management and recording of video signals and video analytics generated by a network of IP-enabled cameras. A set of IP cameras are connected in a LAN to a network video recorder further connected by LAN or WAN to a set of client stations. The client station operates a hybrid program including a web-browser and a native application operating on a computer. The network video recorder operates a media recorder to store video streams from the IP cameras into a media database and further operates a relational database for storing camera configuration data, device drivers, event information and alarms. The network video recorder includes a zero configuration networking discovery service for automatically detecting and downloading default configurations to the cameras. Client stations can stream video directly from IP cameras, receive recorded video streams and query the relational database for cameras and events.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a noise-model based sensor converter configured to map a sensor measurement output to discrete, nonlinear steps of constant uncertainty. In a non-limiting embodiment of the invention, the sensor converter receives an output signal from a sensor. The output signal can include a measurement. The sensor converter can also receive a noise model. The output signal is mapped to a discrete set of steps based on the noise model. The discrete set of steps are nonlinearly spaced to provide constant uncertainty between adjacent steps. The sensor converter generates an output based on the discrete set of steps.

The present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for determining at least one measurement uncertainty for at least one measured value of a field device, in which a set of calculation parameters is created that contains at least all standard parameters of a set of standard parameters in the form of a respectively corresponding calculation parameter, and the at least one measurement uncertainty and/or a measurement uncertainty budget is calculated and/or specified based upon at least one calculation parameter value of at least one calculation parameter. Each standard parameter of the set of standard parameters comprising at least one standard parameter represents an independent variable causing the measurement uncertainty. To each calculation parameter is assigned at least one calculation parameter value in the form of at least one standard parameter value, one device parameter value, and/or one application parameter value.

A vehicle includes an electric machine having a number of pole pairs, N, a position sensor having a number of pole pairs, M, that generates output indicative of a rotational position of the electric machine, and one or more controllers. The one or more controllers generate a remapped rotational position according to a product of the rotational position and L/N, generate a scaled position according to a product of the remapped rotational position and N/M, and command the electric machine to produce a specified torque or speed based on the scaled position. M is not equal to and not a factor of N, and L is a minimum common multiplier of N and M.
