  • Patent number: 8351715
    Abstract: Systems and processes for compressing, translating and storing solid-state model data for a plurality of parts that form a solid-state model is provided. Compressing, translating and storing solid-state model data includes extracting the solid-state model data. Compressing, translating and storing solid-state model data also includes translating the sorted solid-state model data into one or more assembly components, a plurality of part components and a plurality of surface components. The process further requires storing each of the one or more assembly components, each of the plurality of part components and each of the plurality of surface components into a single file.

  • Patent number: 7715722
    Abstract: A scalable, flexible, automated radio frequency distribution system (FORFDS) employs fiber optics to eliminate the need for metallic/coaxial type interconnections between onboard and fixed-site radios and antennas. Key elements of the FORFDS may include, for example, 1) electrical to optical conversion (and vice versa) of RF signals, 2) optical switching, 3) automated control and monitoring, including Ethernet interfaces, and 4) high density packaging. The system is compatible with JTRS (2 MHz to 2000 MHz), is scalable and cost effective (no longer in the laboratory or concept high cost ranges), compared with known technologies.

  • Patent number: 5610920
    Abstract: Radio and workstation nodes are operated together in a network which may be either a LAN or a WAN network. The audio is sampled from up to 16 voice sources (radios or intercoms) at a 125 micro second rate and converted into a 16-bit representation by the A-D converters associated with a digital signal processor (DSP) at the radio or voice node. The samples are then captured by the DSP and processed by the voice sampler. When the DSP voice detection software notices a signal which meets the voice detection criteria, a process is started which collects audio sample packets and continues to run as long as the voice detection criteria on a specific channel are met. These audio sample packets are assigned sequence tags and placed into a user datagram protocol (UDP) message addressed to the receiving DSP by the voice distribution process. The network protocols for UDP packets provide delivery to the correct DSP.

  • Patent number: 4759041
    Abstract: A local area network packet receiving system synchronizes the passage of packets through a receive buffer through a synchronizing circuit which supplies clock pulses to the receive buffer. The clock system utilizes a sensing circuit that senses the rate at which packets are being stored in the receive buffer. A master oscillator provides a reference signal and a rate control circuit coupled to the sensing circuit controls the rate at which the clock pulses are supplied to the receive buffer. A programmable timer supplies timing pulses out of the control of the rate control circuit. A phase-lock-loop having first and second comparison inputs is coupled to the programmable timer to receive the timing pulses on the first comparison input and to the master oscillator to receive a reference signal on the second comparsion input.
