Patent number: 10477495Abstract: A Sensor Web formed of a number of different sensor pods. Each of the sensor pods include a clock which is synchronized with a master clock so that all of the sensor pods in the Web have a synchronized clock. The synchronization is carried out by first using a coarse synchronization which takes less power, and subsequently carrying out a fine synchronization to make a fine sync of all the pods on the Web. After the synchronization, the pods ping their neighbors to determine which pods are listening and responded, and then only listen during time slots corresponding to those pods which respond.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2016Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGYInventors: Kevin A. Delin, Shannon Jackson

Patent number: 6201392Abstract: The present invention provides apparatus for utilizing planar HTS probe coils in substantially coplanar coil sets, each set comprised of a plurality of coils, two such similar sets being positioned on opposite sides of the sample to form a plurality of coil pairs. The coil pairs may be used for excitation of the sample, for receiving the NMR response signal or for both. A feature of the invention is the ability afforded to adjust the coupling between coil pairs to a minimum value to thereby prevent interaction between coil pairs having simultaneously applied high power signals and weak NMR response signals.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 1997Date of Patent: March 13, 2001Assignees: Varian, Inc., Bruker Instruments, Inc.Inventors: Weston Anderson, Richard S. Withers, Kevin A. Delin, Luis Felipe Fuks, Wai Ha Wong
