Publication number: 20240162928Abstract: Transceiver circuitry in an integrated circuit device includes a receive path including an analog front end for receiving analog signals from an analog transmission path and conditioning the analog signals, and an analog-to-digital converter configured to convert the conditioned analog signals into received digital signals for delivery to functional circuitry, and a transmit path including a digital front end configured to accept digital signals from the functional circuitry and to condition the accepted digital signals, and a digital-to-analog converter configured to convert the conditioned digital signals into analog signals for transmission onto the analog transmission path. At least one of the analog front end and the digital front end introduces distortion and outputs a distorted conditioned signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2024Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Ray Luan Nguyen, Benjamin Tomas Reyes, Geoffrey Hatcher, Stephen Jantzi

Publication number: 20200256309Abstract: A method and device are provided for generating electricity from a body of water including a power generating tube having inside walls, outside walls, a top and an inlet at the bottom. The tube includes a neck comprising an inlet to the bottom and an outlet open at the top. A gate valve blocking the inlet is opened by remote control signals. Alternatively, an explosive plug blocking the inlet is removed by an explosion initiated by a remote control device. The power generating tube loaded with a means for generating electricity and empty of water is installed in the water with the inlet located deep in the water below the top that is positioned above the surface of the water.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2019Publication date: August 13, 2020Inventor: Stephen Tomás Strocchia-Rivera

Patent number: 10499498Abstract: An electrically conductive composite is disclosed that includes a dielectric material having a first side and a second side, conductive particles within the dielectric material layer, and a discontinuous layer of a conductive material on a first side of the dielectric layer. The conductive particles are aligned to form a plurality of conductive paths from the first side to the second side of the dielectric material, and each of the conductive paths is formed of at least a plurality of conductive particles. The discontinuous layer includes a plurality of non-mutually connected portions that cover portions of, but not all of, the first side of the dielectric material such that exposed portions of the underlying first side of the dielectric material remain exposed through the discontinuous layer, yet the discontinuous layer facilitates the electronic coupling together of a plurality of the conductive paths from the first side to the second side of the dielectric material.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2017Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: FLEXcon Company, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth Burnham, Richard Skov, Stephen Tomas, Jimmy Nguyen, Stephen M.

Publication number: 20190072362Abstract: A method and device are provided for launching a payload from water, including a launching tube having inside walls, outside walls, a top and an inlet at the tube bottom, with the tube bottom anchored to the bottom water surface. The tube includes a convergent tubular nozzle or neck that is an inlet to the bottom and an outlet open at the top. A gate valve blocking the inlet is opened by remote control signals; or by an explosive plug blocking the inlet removed by an explosion initiated by remote control. The launching tube loaded with a payload and empty of water is installed in water with the inlet deep below the top positioned above the water surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2017Publication date: March 7, 2019Inventor: Stephen Tomás Strocchia-Rivera

Patent number: 9899121Abstract: An alternating electric field responsive biomedical composite is disclosed that provides capacitive coupling through the composite. The biomedical composite includes a binder material, a polar material that is substantially dispersed within the binder material, and electrically conductive particles within the binder material. The polar material is responsive to the presence of an alternating electric field, and the electrically conductive particles are not of sufficient concentration to form a conductive network through the composite unless and until the composite becomes overcharged.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2013Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: FLEXcon Company, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth Burnham, Richard Skov, Stephen Tomas

Publication number: 20050003167Abstract: A multilayer composite comprises a printable facestock with a carrier sheet separably laminated directly to its top surface. The facestock is a dimensionally unstable and/or low flexural stiffness transparent film having a thickness not greater than about 4.0 mils. In subsequent processing, graphics are printed on the bottom surface of the facestock followed by the application of pressure sensitive adhesive and a release liner. The liner is removable, allowing the composite to be adhered to a substrate, with the graphics remaining beneath and protected by the facestock. The carrier sheet is separable from the top surface of the facestock, either before or following removal of the release liner.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2004Publication date: January 6, 2005Inventors: David Kitch, Philip Emery, Patrick Hunter, Stephen Tomas, James Casey
