Publication number: 20250020842Abstract: A window for a sensing system is provided that includes: a substrate comprising an outer and an inner primary surface; an outer layered film disposed on the outer primary surface; and an inner layered film disposed on the inner primary surface. Each of the outer and inner layered films comprises alternating high index and low index layers. The outer layered film comprises a scratch resistant layer having a thickness from about 0.5 ?m to about 10 ?m, and exhibits a hardness of at least 11 GPa, as measured with a Berkovich Indenter Hardness Test. The window exhibits an average transmittance of greater than 85% within ±25 nm of at least one wavelength within the infrared spectrum from 900 nm to 1600 nm and an average transmittance of less than 5% in the visible spectrum from 420 nm to 650 nm, each at an angle of incidence<15°.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2022Publication date: January 16, 2025Inventors: Shandon Dee Hart, Karl William Koch, III, Carlo Anthony Kosik Williams, Lin Lin, Alexandre Michel Mayolet, Charles Andrew Paulson, James Joseph Price

Publication number: 20230235592Abstract: Disclosed herein is an airfoil beach shade system. The system is comprised of a rectangular, beach shade constructed of multiple airfoils. The beach shade is attached on one side to a pivoting T-frame while the opposite side remains unattached or unfixed. The wind fills the airfoils, causing the beach shade to elevate and stay elevated while providing shade underneath. The pivoting T-frame allows for the device to automatically adjust to the changing direction of the wind.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2023Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventor: James Michel

Patent number: 10693165Abstract: In one embodiment, an environmental sensor array monitors pre-filter airflow to a fuel cell with an air filter, and senses amounts of filter exposure of air contaminants in the monitored pre-filter airflow. The environmental sensor array may then correlate the sensed amounts of filter exposure over time to a long-term adsorption limit of the air contaminants for the air filter, determining a lifetime usage level of the air filter. Accordingly, the environmental sensor array may provide an indication of the lifetime usage level of the air filter. In another embodiment, the environmental sensor array may also monitor post-filter airflow to the fuel cell, and senses instantaneous levels of post-filter air contaminants. In response to the instantaneous level of any particular air contaminant of the post-filter air contaminants being above a respective threshold level, the environmental sensor array may protect the operation of the fuel cell (e.g., de-rate, shut down, etc.).Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2016Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: University of Hawai'iInventors: Scott Robert Higgins, James Michel Ewan

Publication number: 20190313347Abstract: Novel techniques for pooling the available transmit power of a beam across the subcarriers that are or that are scheduled to be in use (and not across all available subcarriers) are disclosed. The scheduled subcarriers may be located in the same or different carriers of a modulation transmitter modulation system, and the pooled transmit power may be allocated or distributed across the scheduled subcarriers of the beam. Modulation symbols or resource elements may be transmitted in accordance with allocated, per-subcarrier power budgets, thereby maximizing the SNIR of signals that are transmitted in the beam via the scheduled subcarriers. Additionally, the allocation of the pooled transmit power to various subcarriers may continuously and/or dynamically vary over time, e.g., based on traffic demands, interference characteristics, etc., as well as based on subsequent scheduling of subcarriers to transmit subsequent modulation symbols or resource elements.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2019Publication date: October 10, 2019Inventors: Heinz A. Miranda, Michael H. Baker, James Michels, Yong Liu

Patent number: 7668699Abstract: Apparatus and method for improving the detection of signals obscured by noise using stochastic resonance noise. The method determines the stochastic resonance noise probability density function in non-linear processing applications that is added to the observed data for optimal detection with no increase in probability of false alarm. The present invention has radar, sonar, signal processing (audio, image and video), communications, geophysical, environmental, and biomedical applications.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2006Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: Syracuse UniversityInventors: Hao Chen, James Michels, Pramod K Varshney

Publication number: 20070086426Abstract: During operation, nodes that receive beacons from a different network will synchronize to the different network when a predetermined condition is met. Synchronization to the differing network will only take place if the node receiving the beacon from a different network does not have access to a fixed network coordinator and the predetermined condition is met. The predetermined condition may comprise such things as a Network ID for the different network being larger than the Network ID for the current network, or alternatively, the size of the different network being larger than a size of the current network.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2006Publication date: April 19, 2007Applicant: MOTOROLA, INC.Inventors: Jeffrey Bonta, George Calcev, James Michels

Publication number: 20070086424Abstract: A method and apparatus for synchronizing a node (200) within an ad-hoc communication system (100) is described herein. During operation all nodes periodically broadcast a synchronization beacon for other nodes to utilize for synchronization when a coordinating access point (node) is unavailable. A particular node's synchronization beacon will have an associated “tier” number that is incremented from the tier number of the beacon used to synchronize the particular node. In the absence of an access point, a node that joins the ad-hoc communication system will listen for synchronization beacons transmitted by other nodes. If synchronization beacons are heard, the node will synchronize with a beacon having a lowest tier. The node will then broadcast its own beacon having its tier number incremented from the lowest tier beacon heard.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2005Publication date: April 19, 2007Inventors: George Calcev, Jeffrey Bonta, James Michels

Patent number: 4474327Abstract: A fertilizer spreader includes an attachment assembly for use with a portable hand-held air blower for entraining granular fertilizer or the like into the discharge air stream of the blower, whereby the fertilizer is broadcast by the air stream over a lawn or garden area. The attachment assembly comprises an adapter nozzle connected in-line with the discharge air stream of the blower and including a pressure port through which a portion of the discharge air stream is directed for passage through a pressure tube to a diffuser mounted within a portable vented fertilizer-receiving container near the bottom thereof. The diffuser turns the air stream upwardly within the container and divides the stream into a plurality of turbulent air flows for agitating and suspending particles in a localized region above the diffuser, with a substantial portion of the air stream escaping from the container through a vent at a position remote from the localized region.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 1983Date of Patent: October 2, 1984Assignee: Allegretti & CompanyInventors: Charles A. Mattson, James Michel, Anthony Domagalski
