Patent number: 11008082Abstract: A paddle for watercraft has a shaft to which blades are attached at opposite ends. The blades may be mounted directly to the shaft or via drop cranks. The shaft is suspended on handles oriented transversely to the shaft's longitudinal axis. The handles are capable of pivoting motion relative to the shaft as well as rotational motion about their respective longitudinal axes.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2020Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Inventor: Joseph Shaver

Patent number: 8571004Abstract: A mobile ad-hoc network includes a plurality of N mobile nodes and wireless communication links connecting the mobile nodes, which each include a communications device for transmitting and routing data packets wirelessly to other mobile nodes via the wireless communication links in accordance with a time division multiple access (TDMA) data transmission protocol using a TDMA epoch that is divided into a beacon interval, digital voice interval and digital data interval. The mobile nodes monitor channel conditions using the beacon, digital voice and digital data intervals and provide a network conductivity performance as valid receptions occur within mobile nodes. A data rate is calculated and set for other N?1 mobile nodes using monitored channel conditions for the beacon, digital voice and digital data intervals.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2011Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Harris CorporationInventors: Mark W. Chamberlain, David A. Clark, Joseph Shaver, John W. Nieto

Patent number: 8311075Abstract: An improved method is provided for decoding data in a frequency hopping communications system. The method includes: monitoring transition points between data bits in a demodulated data stream, where the data bits are transmitted to a receiver over different transmission frequencies; determining a frequency over which data bits are transmitted to the receiver; determining a reliability metric for each frequency over which data bits were received, where the reliability metric is based on transition points of data bits transmitted over a given frequency; and performing a decoding operation using the reliability metric for each frequency over which data bits were received.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2009Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: Harris CorporationInventors: Edwin McCall Leiby, III, Mark Walter Chamberlain, Joseph Shaver, Paul Voglewede

Patent number: 7914532Abstract: System, including methods and apparatus, for treating orthopedic conditions using a rod member structured for placement in a medullary canal of a bone and including at least one locking aperture with an internal thread structure. In some embodiments, the internal thread structure may include two or more thread leads disposed adjacent the same end of the locking aperture, two or more interspersed internal threads, and/or a thread depth substantially less than that of a corresponding threaded fastener for the locking aperture.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2006Date of Patent: March 29, 2011Assignee: Acumed LLCInventors: Joseph A. Shaver, Bryon M. Morse, Steven P. Horst, Randall J. Huebner

Patent number: 7283069Abstract: An improved method is provided for identifying a repeated codeword in an incoming bit stream. The method includes: receiving an incoming bit stream having an expected codeword repeated a number of times; determining whether a group of incoming data bits correlates to the expected codeword, where each of the incoming data bits in the group need not match the corresponding data bit of the expected codeword; and determining whether the expected code word is repeated over a sequence of incoming data bits.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2006Date of Patent: October 16, 2007Assignee: Harris CorporationInventors: Joseph Shaver, Paul Voglewede, Edwin Leiby, Mark Walter Chamberlain, Eric Peach
