  • Patent number: 6937944
    Abstract: A system that utilizes the principles of frequency domain reflectometry to perform baselining and mapping of single and mutliple wires and cables, the baselining to be used as a comparison when the wires are tested at a later date to determine if the wires or cables have been damaged, wherein a first waveform is generated from a baseline FDR measurement of a cable, a second waveform is generated from a new FDR measurement of the cable, and a comparison of the first and second waveforms is performed to determine if the integrity of the cable has changed, and wherein the mapping is performed in order to determine the present configuration of a network or tree of wires or cables.

  • Publication number: 20020045952
    Abstract: The Field Programmable Instrument Controller (FPIC) is a stand-alone low to high performance, clocked or unclocked multi-processor that operates as a microcontroller with versatile interface and operating options. The FPIC can also be used as a concurrent processor for a microcontroller or other processor. A tightly coupled Multiple Chip Module design incorporates non-volatile memories, a large field programmable gate array (FPGA), field programmable high precision analog to digital converters, field programmable digital to analog signal generators, and multiple ports of external mass data storage and control processors. The FPIC has an inherently open architecture with in-situ reprogrammability and state preservation capability for discontinuous operations.
