Detection of cable of a network of cables by a telecommunication equipment item
11828816 · 2023-11-28 · ·

A method and telecommunication equipment item for detecting a cable of a network of cables, in particular of a network of electrical cables, especially ones which are not detectable to the naked eye. For example, a network of electrical cables may be embedded inside the partitions of a building. The telecommunication equipment item has a receiver and a detector of a predefined electrical signal injected into a network of cables as a function of electromagnetic signals received by the receiver. Thus, the receiver is not required to be a specific equipment item dedicated solely to this use but may be implemented in a telecommunication equipment item with which users are widely equipped such as a smartphone, a tablet, etc.

Automated identification of generic module location per electrical signatures
11449323 · 2022-09-20 · ·

A database stored electrical signatures of mounting points for generic modules within a vehicle model. Software for programming each mounting point is mapped to the mounting points. For a production unit of the vehicle model, generic modules are placed at the mounting points without being programmed to perform a specific function. The generic modules measure the electrical signature of the mounting point at which they are mounted. The generic modules then coordinate with a server to identify a matching electrical signature in the database and programming the generic modules with corresponding software for performing specific functions.
