  • Patent number: 7460661
    Abstract: A receive system providing enhanced Signal to Noise performance is applicable to a wide variety of applications including both wireless and wireline systems which further include internet type communications. Received signals are converted to digital values and stored in a manner which enables subsequent processing directed to improving the resolution of the received signals and to reduce the associated noise corresponding to the received data samples. The Signal-to-Noise ratio of the received data signals is improved as a result of processing techniques made possible by the digitally stored nature of the received data and a unique iterative data processing method.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7457603
    Abstract: A receive system providing enhanced directivity in the form of a narrowed receive beam and a relatively small antenna with performance comparable to a much larger antenna at similar frequencies. Received signals are converted to digital values and stored in a manner which enables subsequent processing directed to improving the resolution of the received signals and to reduce the associated noise corresponding to the received data samples. The Signal-to-Noise ratio of the received data signals is improved as a result of processing techniques made possible by the configuration of the antenna and the digitally stored nature of the received data.

  • Patent number: 4357528
    Abstract: This machine includes a header card receiving compartment and a plurality of bill receiving compartments and is adapted to reconcile the notes rejected by a high speed counting and sorting machine. The machine includes reconciling means comprising a platen adapted to receive a batch printout sheet from the high speed counting and sorting machine, actuating means for imparting a step in movement to the platen, and operating means operable upon certain header cards being fed into the header card feeding compartment for advancing the platen and the batch printout sheet one step to position the next line of print in alignment for view by the operator.
