Patent number: 9136912Abstract: A non-contacting rotary interface has a first core with a first pair of balanced transmission lines coupled to the first core and a second core moveable in relation to the first core with a second pair of balanced transmission lines coupled to the second core and configured to receive signals from the first pair of balanced transmission lines. The first pair of balanced transmission lines has a first transmit wire coupled to a termination point at a first end of the first transmit wire, a first transmitter coupled to the first transmit wire at a second end of the first transmit wire, a second transmit wire coupled to the termination point at a first end of the second transmit wire, and a second transmitter coupled to the second transmit wire at a second end of the second transmit wire. The balanced transmission lines may be electrical traces on a circuit board.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2012Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: Voxis, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Newhall West, Jon Robert Kiser, Jerry Samuel Dimsdale

Patent number: 8452561Abstract: A time differential is estimated between a plurality of signals by determining a filter response of a first electrical signal with a first filter array, determining a filter response of a second electrical signal with a second filter array, and determining, based at least on the filter response of the first electrical signal and the filter response of the second electrical signal, a time differential between the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal. A first optical signal is converted into the first electrical signal and a second optical signal is converted into the second electrical signal. The filter response of the first electrical signal and the filter response of the second electrical signal are sampled and the time differential between the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal is determined based at least on the sampled filter response of the first electrical signal and the sampled filter response of the second electrical signal.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2011Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: Voxis, Inc.Inventors: Jerry Samuel Dimsdale, Joseph Newhall West, Andrew Philip Lewis, Thomas Rahjit Singh Gill

Publication number: 20080128336Abstract: A system for sorting a mixed stream of different colored cullet into separate groups of same colored cullet comprises a light emitting source for transmitting light, such as white light, through a cullet, and a camera having a plurality of pixels for receiving light transmitted through the cullet or detecting the absence of light blocked by an opaque contaminant, the camera providing at least one value from the light received, wherein the cutlet moves along a designated path based on the at least one value. The camera collects the received light at a desired sampling interval and a circuit converts the values into digital representation values. The circuit calculates a non-linear function from the digital representation values. An electrostatic or fluid driving actuator directs the cullet along a deflected path based on a value of the non-linear function. A vibratory feeder provides the cullet onto a conveyer belt having an exit roller of a desired diameter.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2008Publication date: June 5, 2008Inventors: Farook Afsari, Jerry Samuel Dimsdale
