Patent number: 10938341Abstract: A device that is attached to portable solar panels so as to allow users to readily verify panel quality and performance. In one example implementation, a device may perform a self-test by measuring the illuminated I-V (current-voltage) curve or dark I-V curve of the solar panel. The measured values derived from the self-test may be compared against a threshold to identify whether either the solar cells and/or the interconnects of the solar panel may have suffered damage affecting the performance of the portable solar panels. A user in the field may be able to dynamically determine whether the performance degradation is due to weather or setup conditions, or if the deviations are due to cell breakage, creases, and/or cracks on the solar cell or other comprised performance factors, such as compromised integrity of the system interconnect.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2017Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: THALES DEFENSE & SECURITY, INC.Inventor: Mehrdad Badie

Patent number: 5490219Abstract: Briefly, according to the invention, a noise-cancelling microphone apparatus (400) is disclosed. The microphone (400) comprises a sound transducer (106) for converting sound waves to electrical signals and means for substantially preventing ambient noise from being converted to electrical signal. A circuit (100) is provided for determining the level of noise not prevented form being converted to electrical signal. The microphone (400) further includes a display (148) for indicating when the level of the ambient noise being converted to electrical signal is above a predetermined level.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 1993Date of Patent: February 6, 1996Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Mehrdad Badie, Daniel M.
