Patent number: 9687684Abstract: An anchor arrangement for a safety line system is for use with a bracket to secure to a structure for mounting the safety line. The anchor arrangement includes at least one of a resilient biasing mechanism and a tension indicator. The resilient biasing mechanism acts between the bracket and a reaction member provided as part of the anchor arrangement. The tension indicator can be a part of the bracket aligned adjacent an indicia zone on the anchor arrangement. The tension indicator can also include an indicator element which can be fixed to the anchor arrangement and extend through a slot or aperture in the bracket. The indicator element can also be separate from the bracket and moveable with respect to the bracket.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2016Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: Latchways PLCInventors: Timothy Bissett, David Nash, Richard Beale

Patent number: 8433028Abstract: In an embodiment, a circuit includes a buffer circuit including a buffer input and an output terminal and a latency locked loop (LLL) circuit. The LLL circuit includes a signal input for receiving an input signal, a feedback input coupled to the output terminal, and a signal output coupled to the buffer input. The LLL circuit is configured to control a propagation delay between the signal input and the signal output to produce a substantially constant total delay from the signal input to the output terminal.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2010Date of Patent: April 30, 2013Assignee: Silicon Laboratories Inc.Inventors: John M. Khoury, Eduardo Viegas, Richard Beale

Patent number: 8188804Abstract: In a particular embodiment, a circuit device is disclosed that includes a data generator adapted to output a random pulse sequence having a particular spectral shape. The circuit device further includes a pulse edge control circuit to selectively apply a carrier suppression operation to at least one pulse-width modulated (PWM) signal in response to the random pulse sequence to produce at least one modulated PWM output signal. The spectral energy associated with a PWM carrier of the modulated PWM output signal at a carrier frequency and associated harmonics is changed such that the modulated PWM output signal has a spectral shape defined by the particular spectral shape.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2010Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Assignee: Silicon Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Alderson, John Khoury, Richard Beale

Patent number: 8154358Abstract: In a particular embodiment, a circuit device includes a pulse edge control circuit to receive at least one pulse-width modulated (PWM) signal from a PWM source. The pulse edge control circuit is adapted to selectively invert and swap the at least one PWM signal with a logic-inverted duty-cycle complement of the at least one PWM signal at discrete time intervals to produce at least one modulated PWM signal having a changed power spectrum. The pulse edge control circuit provides the at least one modulated PWM signal to at least one output of the pulse edge control circuit.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2010Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Silicon Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Richard Beale, John Khoury

Patent number: 7791521Abstract: In a particular embodiment, a circuit device includes a pulse edge control circuit to receive at least one pulse-width modulated (PWM) signal from a PWM source. The pulse edge control circuit is adapted to selectively apply a phase shift operation to the at least one PWM signal at integer submultiples of a frame repetition rate to produce at least one modulated PWM signal having a changed power spectrum. The pulse edge control circuit provides the at least one modulated PWM signal to at least one output of the pulse edge control circuit.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2008Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignee: Silicon Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: John Khoury, Richard Beale

Publication number: 20040169076Abstract: One aspect of the invention is a system controlling individual access at an airport. The system comprising an access card having machine readable information of an encoded biometric characteristic. An access control terminal includes a reader for reading the encoded biometric characteristic from the access card. A biometric reader makes a contemporaneous biometric reading of the presenting individual. A processor grants or denies access by comparing the read encoded biometric reading with the presenting individual biometric reading. Another aspect of the invention is controlling entry to commercial vehicles. A biometric reading of a passenger is taken. A boarding pass having the passenger's biometric reading is generated. A contemporaneous biometric reading of each passenger presenting a boarding pass is taken. The presented boarding pass encoded information is compared to a contemporaneous input. Based on the comparison, access is granted or denied.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2002Publication date: September 2, 2004Applicant: Accu-Time Systems, Inc.Inventors: Richard A. Beale, Paul D. Benoit, Joseph B. Shea
