Daniel Glavin 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).

  • Thermopile bias method for low voltage infrared readout integrated circuits
    Patent number: 11293809
    Abstract: An apparatus include one or more DACs and a resistor divider are configured to generate a variable bias voltage VBIAS with respect to a CM voltage VCM. The CM voltage VCM is applied to a cathode of one or more thermopiles or a negative input of one or more amplifiers to prevent saturation and over range of one or more low voltage readout amplifiers and one or more ADCs.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 16, 2019
    Date of Patent: April 5, 2022
    Assignee: United States of America as represented by the Administrator of NASA
    Inventors: Gerard Quilligan, Shahid Aslam, Nicolas Gorius, Daniel Glavin, John Kolasinski, Dat Tran
