  • Patent number: 10841140
    Abstract: A method and wireless device are disclosed that increase the range of active geo-location from the measuring station as compared with known solutions by increasing the effective receive sensitivity of the measuring station by transmitting a predetermined ranging packet and correlating the raw received bit stream of the response packet with one or more predetermined bit streams. In one embodiment, the disclosed method and system may be applied to the reception of IEEE 802.11 orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) acknowledgments (ACK) and clear-to-send (CTS) packets in response to OFDM data null and OFDM request-to-send (RTS) packets respectively, in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

  • Patent number: 10315148
    Abstract: A fluidic filter for filtering a fluid includes a filter housing having an inlet part, an outlet part and a housing part, and a filter element having an inlet side and an outlet side. The filter element is housed inside the housing part of the filter housing and includes a first flow passage that extends along a longitudinal direction of the filter element and is connected to the outlet part, and a plurality of ridges extending along the longitudinal direction. A plurality of second flow passages respectively are formed between ridges and an inner surface of the housing part, allowing the fluid to flow from the inlet side of the filter element along the longitudinal direction. At least a portion of the plurality of ridges facing the second flow passages is permeable to the fluid so as to allow passage of the fluid from the second flow passages to the first flow passage.

  • Patent number: 9027895
    Abstract: A portable support for supporting equipment above a surface having an opening to a subsurface space. The support includes a head, an elevator on the head, and legs connected to the head for supporting the head above the surface. Each of the legs has a foot for engaging the surface when supporting the head above the surface. The support also includes an elongate rod vertically mounted on the elevator for movement between a raised position, in which an upper end of the rod extends above the head, and a lowered position, in which a lower end of the rod extends below the feet of the legs to extend into the subsurface space. The support includes an instrument platform positionable on the lower end of the rod when in the lowered position to support the equipment in the subsurface space when the rod is in the lowered position.
