Patents by Inventor John V. Balding

John V. Balding has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 4234964
    Abstract: Circuitry for attachment to a radio receiver to monitor and test a detected intermediate frequency signal and an audio signal from a demodulator portion of the receiver to determine whether a transmitted radio frequency signal is within frequency tolerances and modulation limits and to provide an alarm, either visual or audio, when the limits or tolerances are exceeded. An off frequency monitor tests the DC component of the radio demodulator detected IF signal and includes input signal conditioning circuitry for filtering the audio signal, high impedance for minimal loading of the radio, and level shifting. Upper and lower level voltage references indicate maximum permissible frequency deviation from the nominal transmitting frequency. Upper and lower level comparators compare the conditioned direct current (DC) signal to the respective voltage references and provide a changed output state upon an out of tolerance transmission.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4086589
    Abstract: This invention is an electronic siren producing a siren sound having a sound wave produced on a slowly rising and falling frequency. A major cycle is pulsed at intervals with variations in frequency. The variations in each major cycle represent minor cycles. The invention utilizes an electronic circuit to effect such major and minor frequency cycles with existing speaker equipment to project the sound. The electronic circuit includes one or more complex variable rate pulse oscillators wherein the variability of the oscillator is flexible so that it can be programmed internally, or controlled by the speed of the vehicle, or controlled by an operator, or dependent on other circuitry in the unit, or random.
