  • Patent number: 6968014
    Abstract: A sinusoidal R.F. carrier is modulated for the transmission of digital binary datastreams through the deletion of carrier wavelets. These wavelets are defined between zero crossover positions representing zero energy locations. One or more wavelets are switched out of the carrier at the zero crossing positions to avoid sideband generation occasioned by electromagnetic energy disturbance. Transmissional amplification as well as receptional amplification is carried out with non-resonating amplifier architecture.

  • Patent number: 6901246
    Abstract: A sinusoidal RF carrier is modulated for the transmission of digital binary data streams through the amplitude suppression of carrier wavelets. These wavelets are defined between zero crossover positions representing zero energy locations. This modulation is accomplished when the carrier is slightly amplitude modulated with a modulation signal that is equal in frequency to the carrier itself and the modulation always begins or ends upon the exact zero voltage crossing point of the RF cycle phase. The modulation is applied as a slight shift of the amplitude of any single cycle, each cycle representing a single bit of data. A single cycle of RF will either represent a “1” or “0” depending upon the amplitude of the cycle, relative to other adjacent cycles in the same carrier.

  • Publication number: 20050008087
    Abstract: The invention disclosed in this application uses a method of modulation named Tri-State Integer Cycle Modulation (TICM) wherein a carrier signal, comprised of a continuum of sine waves is modulated such that spectrum utilization is minimal. A modulation event is imposed upon the carrier signal by modifying the carrier frequency at precisely the zero crossing point or the zero degree angle. The method of imposing the modulation event is by increasing the frequency of the carrier for one or an integer number of wavelets then lowering the frequency of the carrier for one or the same integer number of wavelets then returning to the carrier frequency to derive the modulation event. The main carrier frequency is only modulated beginning at the zero degree phase angle and ending at the 360-degree phase angle.

  • Publication number: 20050007447
    Abstract: The invention disclosed in this application discloses a method for modulating and demodulating compressed binary information that was derived from a binary information stream composed of a binary data sequence of first and second binary states that was modulated onto a carrier which has a waveform with a continuous sequence of wavelets with similar amplitudes defined by a 360 degree cycle between crossover positions representing a substantially zero energy level in which the carrier has been modulated in accordance with said binary data sequence by grouping said wavelets into wavelet groups containing two or more wavelets, receiving said information stream as a binary data sequence of first and second binary states; grouping said binary data sequence of first and second binary states into binary groups of two or more first and second binary states; correlating one of each said wavelets in said wavelet group with one of each possible binary values of each said binary groups, modulating said carrier in accordan

  • Publication number: 20040196910
    Abstract: The invention disclosed in this application uses a method of modulation named Integer Cycle Frequency Hopping (ICFH) wherein a carrier signal, comprised of a continuum of sine waves is generated on a single frequency. A data bit representing either a “1” or a “0”, depending upon the logic polarity chosen by the builder is imposed upon the carrier signal by modifying the carrier signal at precisely the zero crossing point or the zero degree angle. The method of imposing the data is to cause either a lengthening or shortening of the proceeding 360 degrees of phase angle, thus effectively either raising or lowering the frequency of the carrier signal for just the one, or a succession of cycles at hand. Upon completion of the 360-degree cycle(s), the carrier will return to the original frequency. The main carrier frequency is only modulated beginning at the zero degree phase angle and ending at the 360-degree phase angle.

  • Patent number: 6275196
    Abstract: A parabolic horn antenna designed for use as a high isolation antenna array in a wireless Internet access system where a high concentration of transceivers at one location is required. The rear, reflecting surface of the horn part of the antenna is a parabolic shape with the probe located at the focal point of the parabola. The sides of the antenna in the broad dimension are angled at an optimum degree increasing the opening aperture allowing the system to capture more RF energy. The length, therefore the aperture width is variable providing control over the gain of the system thus providing effective shielding and isolation for more dense antenna arrays.

  • Patent number: 5089764
    Abstract: Apparatus and system for purging hot air from the cabin of vehicles when parked under hot sun conditions. The system employs a solar panel of relatively smaller size suited for incorporation with a sun roof or rear window of the vehicle. A power transfer regulator is utilized which is responsive to the peak voltage chacteristic of the solar panel to cause the panel to substantially continuously to perform at its peak power output capability. As such, an equivalent power at lower voltage and enhanced current levels is submitted to the electric drive motor of an air purging fan within the vehicle. Switching controls are provided which monitor the state of the vehicle's internal combustion engine through its ignition switch and which provide turn-on of the purging system at such time as vehicle cabin temperatures reach predetermined levels. When the air circulation system is disabled, the solar panel is employed for charging the battery of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 4847546
    Abstract: A circuit for operation with solar panels exhibiting constant current and variable voltage characteristics. The power output of the panels is maximized by the circuit through the use of a step-down form of regulator which functions to monitor the peak voltage level of the panel and regulate with a switching type regulator in accordance therewith. Thus, peak voltage levels are maintained while current output to the load driven by the panels is enhanced. When employed for battery charging, the circuit includes a threshold selection network which identifies the nominal voltage rating of the battery under charge and provides appropriate adjustments to carry out a pulse charging technique. For start-up conditions wherein battery voltages may be below levels requisite to evaluate nominal rated voltages, a higher level charging voltage is applied for a predetermined short interval until adequate threshold is achieved to make appropriate determinations of rated voltage values.

  • Patent number: 4742291
    Abstract: An alternate energy interface control for implementation with utility derived power sources and alternate power sources such as are provided by solar panels, windmills, and the like employed with systems utilizing storage batteries. The system monitors the current level of photovoltaic solar panels within intervals during such panels are connected with the battery storage source and further monitors the voltage levels developed by such panels during normal open circuit conditions thereof. A logic control is provided which monitors alternate source currents and voltage as well as storage battery voltage levels to prioritize the use of available alternate energy sources. Battery charging during periods of alternate power source availability is with a pulsed technique to enhance battery lifespans.
