Publication number: 20240146268Abstract: Examples of circuits and amplifiers include recirculation circuitry to reduce or cancel error currents produced by target bipolar junction transistors (BJTs). In an example, first recirculation circuitry is coupled to the base of a first signal-conveyance BJT and to one of the collector or the emitter of the first signal-conveyance BJT; second recirculation circuitry is coupled to the base of a second signal-conveyance BJT and to one of the collector or the emitter of the second signal-conveyance BJT; and biasing circuitry is coupled to the first and second recirculation circuitry. The recirculation circuitry may be implemented with BJTs or MOSFETs. Configurations are provided in which error current(s) are recirculated between the base and collector/emitter node of each target BJT.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Tyler James Archer, Bharath Karthik Vasan, Jerry L.

Patent number: 11971236Abstract: A bracket mountable on a door hinge for supporting a gun holder behind an open door. The bracket includes a docking station and an adapter. The docking station mounts to the hinge. The adapter attaches to any gun holder, such as a holster. The gun is stowed in the gun holder on the docking station until needed. When needed, the gun is withdrawn from the mounted holster. Or, the holstered gun with the adapter attached can be lifted out of the docking station to carry or relocate it. Alternately, the gun holder may be a magnet with or without a magnetically transparent holster. The magnet stays attached to the adapter, which is left in the docking station. The gun—holstered or unholstered—adheres magnetically to the bracketed magnet. When needed, the gun is pulled off the magnet and returned to a carry position.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Manufacturing Made Simple LLCInventor: Jerry A.

Patent number: 11740077Abstract: Systems and methods for optically measuring a position of a measurement surface relative to a reference position. The system is a wireless network comprising a centrally located data acquisition computer and a multiplicity of remotely located sensor modules mounted at different locations within wireless communication range of a central receiver. Each sensor module is mounted to a clamp that is made specific to a control surface location and embedded with an RFID tag to denote clamp location. The optical components of the sensor modules are selected to enable indication of the linear position of a measurement surface relative to a reference position and then broadcast the measurement results. The broadcast results are received by the central receiver and processed by the data acquisition computer, which hosts human interface software that displays measurement data.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2023Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: David M.
