Patents by Inventor Claude Neveu

Claude Neveu has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8238508
    Abstract: A device for extracting a clock signal from a baseband serial signal, includes an injection-locked oscillator (19), a phase-locked loop (25) including a digital phase detector (26). The oscillator (19) includes a digital input for controlling the value of its natural frequency, and the phase-locked loop (25) includes a counting circuit (30, 35) aggregating the relative values of the digital signal supplied by the digital phase detector (26) and supplying a control signal in digital form for the oscillator (19).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 4, 2008
    Date of Patent: August 7, 2012
    Assignee: Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (C.N.E.S.)
    Inventors: Michel Pignol, Claude Neveu, Yann Deval, Jean-Baptiste Begueret, Olivier Mazouffre

  • Patent number: 4727450
    Abstract: A device is provided for the temperature measurement and thermal protection of an object and more particularly of an electronic "solid state" circuit, using an analog network representative of a thermal model of the circuit to be protected. It comprises, on the one hand, an initialization device for, at the time of switching on, positioning the state of the thermal model at an operating point representative of the real temperature of the object to be protected and, on the other hand, elements isolating the analog network thus allowing it to be representative of the real thermal state of the circuit to be protected, whatever the state of the circuits internal to said device. The device is appropriate for thermal protection of an electronic power controller.
