  • Fiber optic communication signal link apparatus
    Patent number: 7406265
    Abstract: A fiber optic communication signal link apparatus for performing fiber optic link communication including a transmitter apparatus and a receiver apparatus coupled by a fiber optic cable. The transmitter is capable of detecting and modulating data that includes at least one of position, light and audio data. An analog voltage signal representing the data is transmitted to the transmitter apparatus wherein the signal is detected, converted to a frequency signal and modulated through the fiber optic cable to the receiver apparatus. Subsequently, the frequency signal is detected, demodulated and converted back to a voltage analog signal in the receiver apparatus.

  • Egg weighing apparatus
    Patent number: 7057119
    Abstract: A device and method for weighing eggs. The egg weighing apparatus includes a movable stem that supports an egg weighing platform. The stem is attached to a measuring device that is electronically and mechanically driven for precise measurement of an egg. The present invention uses a damper or alternatively, uses a tuned dynamic vibration absorber to yield precise measurement of an egg.
