Patent number: 11996810Abstract: A digital compensation system for a radio frequency (RF) power amplifier module is disclosed. The digital compensation system includes an RF power amplifier having a first input, a first output, and a first bias input, wherein the RF power amplifier is configured to receive an RF signal at the first input and generate an amplified version of the RF signal at the first output. The digital compensation system also includes compensation circuitry coupled between the first input and the first output and a bias output coupled to the RF power amplifier, wherein the compensation circuitry is configured, in response to the RF signal, to generate or adjust a bias signal at the first bias input to correct dynamic bias errors caused by amplification variations that have time constants.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2021Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Qorvo US, Inc.Inventors: Frederick L. Martin, Gangadhar Burra, Nikolaus Klemmer, Paul Edward Gorday, Bror Peterson

Patent number: 11988386Abstract: An injector module includes an injector stem that extends along an injector longitudinal axis between an inlet end and an outlet end of the injector module. The injector module also includes a first fuel line of a first fuel circuit at least partly extending through the injector stem. The first fuel line has a first outlet disposed at the outlet end of the injector stem. The injector module further includes a second fuel line of a second fuel circuit at least partly extending through the injector stem. The second fuel line has a second outlet disposed at the outlet end of the injector stem. The first outlet and the second outlet are spaced apart and have different orientations relative to the injector longitudinal axis. The first fuel line is thermally coupled to the second fuel line.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2021Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Duane Peterson, Girish Kanakagiri, Jaydeep Basani, Nagaraja Rudrapatna, Paul Yankowich, Richard R.

Publication number: 20240081876Abstract: Surgical instruments for interfacing with implants can include an inserter configured to dock to a unilateral portion of an implant. The inserter can include a control shaft that is configured to lock or unlock the inserter coupling with the implant. Actuation of the control shaft can occur by way of a knob that can control movement of the control shaft. The inserter can facilitate positioning of the implant relative to a surgical site and allow for application of counter-torque when imparting torque for tightening a set screw, etc. Additional instruments can also be used to manipulate the implant. For example, auxiliary instruments can be coupled to the inserter, such as a reducer instrument, to facilitate rod reduction, etc. Alternatively or in addition, a holder instrument can be used that has a threaded distal engagement feature for coupling to the implant to facilitate positioning thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Joseph Peterson, Joseph M. DeLage, Ryan Thomas Andrade, Paul S. Maguire, Ellen Roberts, Michael Sorrenti, Roman Lomeli, Benjamin Robert Powers, Keanan Smith

Publication number: 20240081868Abstract: Modular connectors and methods are disclosed that provide two sides of a connector in modular and interchangeable fashion. The modular design can be enhanced to add various useful features to one or both sides of the connectors, including the use of rods, hooks, rod receivers of various configurations, etc. This modular approach can allow the assembly of various unique connectors from a pool of components that are interchangeable while minimizing manufacturing cost and complexity.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Joseph PETERSON, Joseph M. DeLage, Ryan Thomas Andrade, Paul S. Maguire, Keanan Smith

Patent number: 11673552Abstract: A transmission includes an input shaft coupled to a prime mover, a countershaft, main shaft, and an output shaft, with gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. A shift actuator selectively couples the input shaft to the main shaft by rotatably coupling gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. The shift actuator is mounted on an exterior wall of a housing including the countershaft and the main shaft. An integrated actuator housing includes a single external power access for the shift actuator. A controller interprets a shaft displacement angle, determines if the transmission is in an imminent zero or zero torque region, and performs a transmission operation in response to the transmission in the imminent zero or zero torque region.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2021Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission TechnologiesInventors: Paul Peterson, Graeme Andrew Jackson, Paul Wilson, Christian Chimner, David L. Wadas, Thomas Connolly
