  • Power supply delay to prevent oscillations for autonomous systems
    Patent number: 10944326
    Abstract: A method for autonomous systems comprising the steps of using a feedback circuit to provide power to an autonomous system, wherein the feedback circuit is configured to alternate between a first and second sources of power depending on availability of power; creating a delay in the circuit by electrically coupling the circuit to a comparator, a one-shot signal, and a low pass filter, wherein the delay is configured to last for a specified amount of time, and wherein the delay will prevent the power from uncontrolled back and forth oscillation between the first and second power sources.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 8, 2018
    Date of Patent: March 9, 2021
    Assignee: United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy
    Inventors: Alex G. Phipps, Everly Yeo, Victor Saucedo, Frank Alonge, Rennie Andrews
  • Power and data tether for autonomous systems
    Patent number: 10611473
    Abstract: A system comprising a tether having two conductors, wherein one end is electrically coupled to a ground system and the other end is electrically coupled to an aerial system; the ground system comprising a power signal and a data signal, wherein the power signal and data signal are interfaced through a bias-tee circuit, the ground system further comprising a transient attenuation circuit; the aerial system comprising a bias-tee circuit and a transient attenuation circuit; the ground system configured to send and the aerial system configured to receive the power signal via the tether, and the ground system and the aerial system configured to send and receive the data signal via the tether.
