Abstract
A moving or rotating body and a stationary body having a wireless communication link with each other. The communication link may involve RF telemetry. The stationary body may provide power in a wireless manner to the rotating body. The moving body may be a rotation sensor for determining torque, speed of rotation, angular position, power and the like. The stationary body may also interact with a processing module via a communication medium. The communication medium may be an Ethernet or an equivalent.
Claims14
A method of effecting interaction between a moving body and a stationary body, comprising:
- providing electrical power to the moving body in a wireless manner from the stationary body;
- receiving data in a transmission from a sensor of the moving body in a wireless manner to the stationary body;
- providing a telemetry protocol for the transmission of data between the moving body and the stationary body;
- processing the data with a processor of the moving body;
- providing feedback from a power supply to an A-D converter in the processor of the moving body;
- and
- monitoring an RF coupling efficiency between the moving body and the stationary body.
A method of effecting interaction between a moving body and a stationary body, comprising:
- providing electrical power in a wireless manner from the stationary body and recovering that wirelessly provided electrical power with a power supply on the moving body;
- receiving data in a transmission from a sensor of the moving body in a wireless manner to the stationary body;
- providing a telemetry protocol for the transmission of data between the moving body and the stationary body;
- processing the data with a processor of the moving body;
- providing feedback from the power supply to an A-D converter in the processor of the moving body;
- and
- monitoring, based on the feedback from the power supply, an RF coupling efficiency between the moving body and the stationary body.
