Patent number: 10411744Abstract: A method for transforming and reconstructing a signal includes receiving a plurality of samples of a waveform of the signal at different points in time. The waveform of the signal is transformed, for each sample, into an in-phase (I) component and a quadrature (Q) component. A derotational circuit applies a delayed complex conjugate multiple (DCM) to the signal to determine a constant product having an I component (Ic) and a Q component (Qc). A magnitude component is determined based on Ic and Qc. A delta phase component is determined based on Ic and Qc. The magnitude component is processed to create a processed magnitude component. The delta phase component is processed to create a processed delta phase component. An IQ waveform is created by reconstructing the waveform of the signal based on the processed magnitude component and the processed phase component.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2018Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: Ratheon CompanyInventors: David B.

Patent number: 8052639Abstract: Described is a medical device and method for allowing fenestration of the aortic wall while maintaining distal perfusion and preventing external bleeding. The device isolates a segment of the aortic wall from the flowing column of blood using a balloon mounted on a metal alloy strut assembly. The strut assembly expands radially from a collapsed, low-profile configuration when uncovered by a constraining outer sheath. Aortic blood flow is allowed through the flow passage thus contained by the strut assembly within the center of the balloon. The balloon is inflated to contact the aortic wall. The balloon contains a pocket shaped to allow aortic fenestration. The balloon contains radiopaque markers to facilitate orientation and positioning of the pocket within the aorta. Other embodiments using spaced balloons are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2008Date of Patent: November 8, 2011Inventor: David B. Wilson

Patent number: 5942421Abstract: A single celled organism, vector, and method are provided for continuous production of excreted proteins in the absence of substantial host cell replication and without the necessity for the addition of antibiotics to control cell replication. The vector has (1) an inducible promoter capable of activating a gene for a protein to be produced under conditions that substantially inhibit host cell replication, and (2) a hybrid gene containing a signal sequence fused to a gene for the protein to be produced. Large quantities of the transformed single celled organisms containing the vector can be grown in the absence of inducing conditions, thereby reducing the problem of plasmid loss. Further, the protein is produced under conditions that substantially inhibit host cell replication, thereby allowing immobilization of the single celled organism by entrapment or attachment within or onto a solid support surface. The single celled organism can be immobilized after, before or simultaneously with induction.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 1997Date of Patent: August 24, 1999Assignee: Cornell Research Foundation, Inc.Inventors: Michael L. Shuler, David B. Wilson
