Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1944449A1] The method involves collecting, from a sensor, two signals representative of the effects of the wind on a blind (1), in two measurement directions, respectively. The signals are processed so as to provide a secondary signal representative of the effects of the wind and independent of the orientation of the sensor in a plane defined by the two directions. The secondary signal is the intensity of resultant of the two signals over various directions or the intensity and the direction of resultant of the signals over various directions. An independent claim is also included for a protection device comprising a detection device.
