  • Patent number: 11838075
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for data over power in an aircraft that includes a direct current power source for providing power over power lines to devices onboard the aircraft and a data injector coupled to the power lines for digitally modulating radio frequency data onto twisted pair data over power lines to provide data and power to the devices. A controller is coupled to the direct current power source and the data injector for providing the data to digitally modulate the radio frequency onto the twisted pair data over power lines such that power for the devices onboard the aircraft and data for control of the device onboard the aircraft are provided to the devices onboard the aircraft over the twisted pair data over power lines.

  • Patent number: 9448186
    Abstract: A system for determining a concentration of gas in a confined space includes a first frequency generator for generating a first RF signal. A first antenna transmits the first RF signal across the confined space and second antenna receives the first RF signal. First and second RF signal power detectors detect the power of the first RF signal both prior to and after transmission through the confined space. A first comparator circuit determines a concentration of oxygen in the confined space based on the power of the first RF signal prior to transmission through the confined space and the power of the first RF signal received by the second antenna.

  • Patent number: 3959729
    Abstract: A receiver selectively and variably tunable to one of a number of broadcast stations has an electro-optic tuning indicator for providing a visual indication of a selected station. The indicator includes a station encoder having a plurality of sets of indicia representative of a plurality of frequencies of the broadcast stations which are arranged to move past a reading station as the receiver is tuned. Positioned at the reading station is an optical reader including a light source arranged on one side of the station encoder and a fiber optic bundle having its proximal end arranged on the opposite side of the station encoder for alignment with a set of indicia. A photoelectric device forming the input to an electrical digital decoder is coupled to the distal end of the fiber optic bundle. The output of the digital decoder is coupled to a digital display.

  • Patent number: 3953800
    Abstract: A radio or television receiver is selectively tunable to one of a number of carrier frequencies transmitted from distant broadcast stations and has a tuning indicator for displaying the frequency of a selected station. The indicator includes a station frequency encoder, having a plurality of sets of indicia representative of a plurality of frequencies of the broadcast stations, arranged to move, as the receiver is tuned, between a light source and the proximal end of a fiber optic bundle. The distal end of the fiber optic bundle is arranged on a display panel to illuminate segments of seven-bar numerical configuration in the form of a squared figure eight. When the receiver is tuned to a station, the indicia, corresponding to the frequency of the station, are aligned with the proximal ends of the fiber optic bundle.
