Publication number: 20180197246Abstract: A method of funding a business enterprise comprising providing a security to investors in exchange for investment funds, wherein the security includes terms that legally binds the investor to accept future valuation of the investment determined by applying a time based mathematical model which projects a later value of the investment based on the value of the investment at the time it was made, and based upon a variable to be determined at consummation of a later round of funding.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2017Publication date: July 12, 2018Applicant: Innoventure L.P.Inventor: David K.

Patent number: 9490944Abstract: Values representative of modulation signal components are extracted from a modulated signal. The modulated signal contains a modulation signal. A local clock signal is developed which correlates in time to the modulated signal and has a plurality of non-overlapping phase sectors per cycle. The modulated signal is accumulated into an accumulated value, separately for at least one phase sector of one cycle of the local clock signal. Each accumulated value is representative of a modulation signal component. The modulated signal accumulated is of an amount representative of the mathematical integral of the modulated signal during each phase sector of the local clock over which the modulated signal is accumulated.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2012Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Inventor: David K Nienaber

Patent number: 9484969Abstract: Values representative of modulation signal components are extracted from a modulated signal. The modulated signal contains a modulation signal. A periodic time segment sequence is defined having at least four ordered time segments. Multiple sets of signal values are acquired from the modulated signal. For each signal value, a difference in the modulated signal during each of two of the ordered time segments is acquired, as the signal value. The two ordered time segments differ in their order within the sequence by half of the number of ordered time segments in the sequence. Each set is acquired over multiple repetitions of the periodic time segment sequence. Each set is acquired during different ordered time segments than each other set. Each signal value is representative of a modulation signal component.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2014Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Inventor: David K Nienaber

Patent number: 9484968Abstract: An input signal having at least one modulated signal is captured. At least four analog sample streams are generated from the input signal. Each analog sample stream is generated by sampling the input signal at a frequency substantially equal to the frequency at which each other analog sample stream is generated and at a phase separate from that at which each other analog sample stream is generated. For each analog sample stream, multiple analog samples of the analog sample stream are combined to create a bandwidth adjusted signal. The bandwidth adjusted signals are jointly representative of the input signal.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2014Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Inventor: David K Nienaber

Patent number: 9479206Abstract: A modulated signal is demodulated to obtain a modulation signal. The modulated signal is contained within an input signal. A periodic time segment sequence is defined having a plurality of ordered time segments. Signal values are acquired, from the input signal, during each ordered time segment. Signal values acquired during each ordered time segment are combined with signal values acquired during the same ordered time segment over multiple periods of the periodic time segment sequence. A local clock is generating. The modulated signal is demodulated by weighting the combined signal values by the local clock to obtain the modulation signal. the modulation signal is low-pass filtered to obtain a control signal. The generation of the local clock is controlled with the control signal.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2014Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: Innoventure L.P.Inventor: David K Nienaber
