Abstract: A system is provided for controlling the amplitude of a vibrating resonant sensor through a drive signal applied to the resonator. The system comprises a controller that provides the drive signal to a forcer coupled to the resonator to excite the resonator into vibration at its resonant frequency. The system further comprises a buffer having an input node that receives charge of a pickoff capacitor of the resonator that is a measure of the resonator vibration and a current reference waveform. The buffer provides an output that is a difference signal that represents an error of the resonator vibration that corresponds to a difference between the measured resonator vibration and the current reference waveform, wherein the controller adjusts the drive signal in order to null the difference signal.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for using Fourier techniques to detect and isolate the fundamental frequency sweep of echolocation calls produced by bats, or of other narrow-band whistles as produced by other kinds of animals such as birds and whales. According to one example, a Fourier transform is applied on blocks of input samples to produce output frames, and a narrowband frequency modulated signal is detected and traced through the output frames. A filter is applied in each frame to attenuate frequencies above or below the narrowband signal, and an inverse Fourier transform is applied to produce an output signal. The resulting signal may then be analyzed with zero crossing techniques to measure the precise instantaneous frequency sweep.

Abstract: A measurement device and method for diagnosing noise in fluidic systems. A microphone, which is arranged at least partially in the area of the flow medium, compensates for pressure surges in the flow medium. The microphone receives the noise via a membrane and converts it to an electrical signal for evaluation of the noise source by an electronic diagnosis unit. To compensate for pressure surges in the flow medium, the membrane of the microphone is arranged in a housing, which is open on both sides of the membrane and whose two openings have pressure applied to them by the flow medium as a sound source, with at least one of the two openings being provided, in order to detect noise, with filter means for attenuation and/or time delay of frequencies which are in an expected noise spectrum, while the filter means allows lower frequencies produced by the pressure fluctuations in the flow medium to pass through.
