ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 8 -- United States Patent no. 12,436,194, issued on Oct. 7, was assigned to NORWEGIAN UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (NTNU) (Trondheim, Norway).

"Fault detection in synchronous machines" was invented by Hossein Ehya (Trondheim, Norway) and Arne Nysveen (Trondheim, Norway).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method of fault detection in synchronous machines includes using at least one sensor to determine parameters linked to the magnetic field generated within the synchronous machine including parameters based on one or more of magnetic field strength, rotor current or voltage, stator current or voltage, and vibration. The sensor measurements are processed to identify d...
