  • Patent number: 12294154
    Abstract: Register banks are used to allow for fast beam switching in a phased array system. Each beam forming channel is associated with a register bank containing M register sets for configuring such things as gain/amplitude and phase parameters of the beam forming channel. The register banks for all beam forming channels can be pre-programmed and then fast beam switching circuitry allows all beam forming channels across the array to be switched to use the same register set from its corresponding register bank at substantially the same time, thereby allowing the phased array system to be quickly switched between various beam patterns and orientations. Active power control circuitry may be used to control the amount of electrical power provided to or consumed by one or more individual beam forming channels such as to reduce DC power consumption of the array and/or to selectively change the effective directivity of the array.

  • Patent number: 12173517
    Abstract: An adjustable door support for acquiring a door gap and supporting a door slab at a height off a floor equal to the door gap. The adjustable door support comprises a bendable sheet including two outer and two inner sections, and two tie devices. The two inner sections are disposed at an oblique angle relative to one another and form a support slot for receiving a portion of the door slab therein. The support slot has door support edges for engaging the door slab. Each of the tie devices includes a cable tie threaded through the inner sections of the bendable sheet and a locking washer attached to the cable tie by sliding over the cable ties in one direction only. The locking washers are lockable on the cable ties to adjust a distance between the support edges of the adjustable door support and the floor.

  • Patent number: 12163339
    Abstract: An adaptable door mounting support for acquiring a door gap and for supporting a door slab. The door mounting support comprises a frame member including first and second A-shaped segments interconnected by a rectangular bottom section and together defining a door support channel therebetween, and a tie device configured to meter the door gap and hold the door slab off the ground. A width of the door support channel is equal or larger than a thickness of the door slab. The tie device includes a cable tie extending between the A-shaped segments and across the door support channel, and a locking member attached to the cable tie by sliding over the cable tie. The locking member is slidable over the cable tie in one direction only and is lockable on the cable tie to adjust a distance between the cable tie and the bottom section of the frame member.

  • Publication number: 20240293951
    Abstract: A bundle breaker has upstream and downstream breaking supports and first and second platens located above the breaking supports that are configured to be raised and lowered by actuators to selectively clamp a log between the platens and the breaking supports. A third actuator applies a shifting force to the downstream breaking support to shift an input end of the downstream breaking support relative to an output end of the upstream breaking support to break a second portion of the log from a first portion of the log. A controller controls the first actuator and the second actuator and the third actuator. Also, the controller is configured to stop or reduce the application of the shifting force in response to a determination that the second portion of the log has broken off the first portion of the log.
