  • Publication number: 20210075125
    Abstract: In certain exemplary embodiments, register banks are used to allow for fast beam switching (FBS) in a phased array system. Specifically, 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. Additionally or alternatively, 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.

  • Publication number: 20200379110
    Abstract: A proximity sensor bar can be configured to sense or detect the presence or absence of objects on a conveyor system. The proximity bar can implement multiple sensor blocks for such sensing with each sensor block including one or more electronic proximity sensors and with each sensor block being spaced a predetermined distance or interval apart from one another along the bar. The proximity bar can be used on conveyor systems, such as roller conveyors in an object movement and distribution environment, with the proximity bar spanning the width of the conveyor. In such systems, the proximity bar could be mounted between adjacent rollers or below such rollers. The proximity bar can also be used on other conveyor systems, such as belted conveyors, by mounting the proximity bar above the conveyor.
