Patents by Inventor Gerald C. Manke, II

Gerald C. Manke, II 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).

  • Patent number: 9742143
    Abstract: Methods and related modular laser systems, e.g., distributed aperture, ultra short pulsed laser, are provided on a host platform having multiple compartments and groups of components where each group has a different environmental sensitivity such as temperature, humidity, vibration, etc or other installation constraints. Each component group is placed in different compartments of the host platform based on constraints comprising equipment, size, available installation footprint, equipment interconnection, and location constraints. For example, one group with one temperature sensitivity falling within environments provided for aircraft passengers or crews can be placed in the crew or passenger compartments. Other components having a greater temperature tolerance might be placed in an equipment bay having a different temperature range than a crew/passenger cabin. Other components might be placed in an area without any environmental controls or even pressurization (e.g., a cargo bay).
    Type: Grant
