Publication number: 20230393195Abstract: Various embodiments are described that relate to failure determination for an integrated circuit. An integrated circuit can be tested to determine if the integrated circuit is functioning properly. The integrated circuit can be subjected to a specific radiation such that the integrated circuit produces a response. This response can be compared against an expected response to determine if the response matches the expected response. If the response does not match the expected response, then the integrated circuit fails the test. If the response matches the expected response, then the integrated circuit passes the test.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Greg Rupper, John Suarez, Sergey Rudin, Meredith Reed, Michael Shur

Patent number: 10922951Abstract: Various embodiments associated with a heads-up display capable of functioning while underwater are described. An underwater mask can have a segment that a diver sees through and this segmented can be augmented with various portions that disclose information to the diver. These portions can relate to the diver herself or relate to other information such as the location of a source transmitting a signal. With these portions the diver can quickly learn about important information and act on that information.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2014Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: The Government of the United States, as represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Mark Govoni, John Suarez

Patent number: 10852423Abstract: Various embodiments are described that relate to wave transmission from a vehicle, and reception of a response to the transmitted wave. A vehicle wheel can include a sensor that transmits a radio wave in front of the vehicle. The radio wave can reflect off a non-uniformity, such as a speed bump or pothole, and be returned to the sensor. A controller can compare the transmitted wave against the returned wave to identify the existence of the non-uniformity.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2018Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: The Government of the United States, as represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventor: John Suarez

Patent number: 10680676Abstract: Various embodiments associated with signal conversion while underwater are described. A source can transmit an alternating current signal with a relatively high frequency over a relatively long distance. The alternating current signal with the relatively high frequency can be converted to an alternating current signal with a relatively low frequency. An example of this conversion can be done by converting the alternating current signal with the relatively high frequency into a direct current signal. The direct current signal can then be converted into the alternating current signal with the relatively low frequency. The alternating current signal with the relatively low frequency can be transmitted from a transmission coil to a pick-up coil. After reception by the pick-up coil the alternating current signal with the relatively low frequency can be processed, such as processed to determine a direction of the source of the alternating current signal with the relatively high frequency.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2017Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: The Government of the United States, as represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Mark Govoni, John Suarez

Patent number: 10481871Abstract: Various embodiments are described that relate to random number generation. When a desire arises for a random number a circuit can be completed with a reverse biased semiconductor-junction element. When the circuit is completed an analog voltage spike can be produced that is random due to properties of the reverse biased semiconductor-junction element. This analog voltage spike can be converted into a digital value that serves as the random number. The digital value can be outputted and used as the random number.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2016Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: The Government of the United States, as represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: John Suarez, Moses Mingle

Patent number: 10359740Abstract: Various embodiments are described that relate to a proportional-integral-derivative controller. The proportional-integral-derivative controller obtains an input voltage and from the input voltage produces an output voltage. Achievement of a particular output voltage can be accomplished through variable resistances in the proportional-integral-derivative controller. To realize these variable resistances, a switching capacitor set can be employed. The switching capacitor set can include individual capacitors with switches. The switches can function with a switching frequency. The switching frequency causes individual capacitors to function with an effective resistance. The resistance can directly correspond to the switching frequency. To change the resistance, the switching frequency can be changed.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2017Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventor: John Suarez
