Patent number: 10754044Abstract: An antenna enclosure includes a sensor and a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) antenna. Within the antenna enclosure, sensor data is combined with GNSS information to produce a RF communication signal, wherein the sensor data is out-of-band from the GNSS information. The RF communication signal is transmitted utilizing a GNSS antenna data link to a receiver side. On the receiver side, the RF communication signal is split into a GNSS RF path and a sensor RF path. The GNSS signals are transmitted to the GNSS receiver via the GNSS RF path. A sensor RF communication signal is de-modulated, and the sensor data is transmitted to the GNSS receiver. When the GNSS antenna data link is bi-directional, information may be transmitted from the GNSS receiver to the antenna enclosure via the GNSS antenna data link.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2018Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: NovAtel Inc.Inventor: Darrell James Anklovitch

Patent number: 10286586Abstract: A multi-component synthetic closure and/or a rod-shaped intermediate product which incorporate printed indicia comprising ink that is invisible under normal lighting and/or temperature conditions and a continuous, in-line manufacturing process therefor are described. In the preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the core member of the synthetic closure and/or the rod-shaped intermediate product can be formed by a continuous extrusion process which enables the core to be manufactured as an elongated, continuous length of material. As the continuous elongated length of extruded material forming the central core is advanced from the extruder towards an outer skin forming station, the central core passes through a printing station for forming any desired indicia among which can be a registration mark that can be invisible under normal lighting and/or temperature conditions on the outer surface of the central core prior to the application of the outer skin layer.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2015Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: VINVENTIONS USA, LLCInventors: Darrell James Miller, Andre Deon Olivier, James Edward Cooper, Jr.
