Patent number: 11740341Abstract: A system for ultrasound beamforming is provided, including a sampled analog beamformer, an array of ultrasound transducers, and a high voltage amplifier coupled to the sampled analog beamformer and the array of ultrasound transducers. The sampled analog beamformer includes a sampled analog filter for filtering an incoming analog signal and adding a fractional delay, and transmitting a filtered analog ultrasound signal. The array of ultrasound transducers further transmits the filtered analog ultrasound signal. The high voltage amplifier drives transducers in the array of ultrasound transducers.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2020Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: ANALOG DEVICES, INC.Inventors: Mikael Mortensen, Eric G. Nestler, J. Brian Harrington, Jeffrey G. Bernstein

Patent number: 11503145Abstract: According to one example configuration, an apparatus enhances functionality of a mobile communication device. The apparatus includes an encasement in which to retain the mobile communication device and supplemental circuitry. The supplemental circuitry is operable to: i) control an optical transmitter in the supplemental circuitry to irradiate matter under test, ii) monitor attributes of an optical signal reflected off the matter under test and received by the optical receiver; and iii) communicate the attributes of the optical signal from the supplemental circuitry to the mobile communication device over a communication link. The supplemental circuitry optionally includes multiple electrodes to further monitor attributes of the matter under test.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2017Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: Analog Devices, Inc.Inventors: J. Brian Harrington, David F. Bolognia, Alain Valentin Guery, Vikram Venkatadri, Hari Chauhan, Evgueni Ivanov, Carlos R. Calvo

Publication number: 20220062535Abstract: A flow control system is disclosed. The flow control system can include a flow meter positioned at a first location of a flow path of a fluid substance, and a valve positioned at a second location of the flow path of the fluid substance. The flow meter can include a molded non-conductive housing, a heating element that is at least partially embedded in the housing, and a sensing element that is at least partially embedded in the housing. The valve can open the flow path to allow the fluid substance to flow in the flow path. The valve can include an actuator that includes deformable chamber and a gate in the flow path of the fluid substance.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2020Publication date: March 3, 2022Inventors: David Frank Bolognia, J Brian Harrington, Vikram Venkatadri
