  • Patent number: 10731899
    Abstract: A variable refrigerant package air conditioner is shown that is easy to install in new construction with a unique base that causes collected mixture that overflows to drain outside the building. A control system is shown that has motors and compressor that are pulse width modulated so the air conditioner is infinitely variable while maintaining the highest possible power factor. Dehumidification of outside air occurs as it is mixed with inside air. By gradually approaching a temperature set point and even reheating after dehumidification, moisture is removed from the room.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4648088
    Abstract: A time division multiplex ring comprising a plurality of nodes connected together by interchanged trunks (main and standby paths) in a ring type or closed loop configuration. Each node in the system includes transmitters and receivers on the main and standby paths along with bridging and switching circuits connected to data failure and other failure detection circuits for operating same arranged such that data and alarm signals are transmitted in the first direction on the main path around the closed loop and in an opposite direction on the standby path. The system is arranged such that if a failure occurs only on the main path and the standby path is unaffected, all communications are switched to the standby path.

  • Patent number: 4225964
    Abstract: Digital data borne by a carrier signal via a predetermined variation in some characteristic thereof during each baud period with respect to the same characteristic of a reference signal is detected by subdividing each baud period into n intervals, converting the carrier signal characteristic variation to a DC signal which is integrated over a baud period beginning with the inception of each of the intervals and converting to and storing the equivalent data baud value of each integrated DC signal, thus providing multiple messages from which to select a valid message.

  • Patent number: 4218769
    Abstract: A carrier signal bearing digital data which varies a characteristic of the carrier signal during each baud period in a predetermined manner to identify the baud value during the period is demodulated by subdividing each baud period into n intervals, converting the carrier signal characteristic to a DC signal which is integrated over each of the intervals and summing the integrated DC signal attained at the end of each interval with the integrated DC signals attained at the end of the previous n-1 intervals.

  • Patent number: 4216543
    Abstract: Baud timing is derived from an AC signal having n half-cycles during each baud period, for use in demodulating a carrier signal bearing digital information via some predetermined variation in a characteristic of the carrier signal during each baud period, by converting the carrier signal characteristic variation to a DC signal, sampling the DC signal at the same point during each half-cycle of the AC signal, summing the samples corresponding to the same half-cycle of the AC signal within each sequence of AC signal half-cycles occurring over successive baud periods, there being n such sample totals, identifying the largest one of the n totals and sychronizing the baud timing signal to the AC half-cycle corresponding thereto.
