Patent number: 12018944Abstract: A photonic device for detecting rotation and a corresponding method for operation thereof are disclosed. The photonic device includes a readout structure coupled to a ring resonator at one or more coupling points. Light is split between a lower waveguide and an upper waveguide of the readout structure in a forward direction at a beam splitter. The light in the waveguides traveling in the forward direction is coupled into the ring resonator and subsequently back into the waveguides in a reverse direction. The light is spatially phase tilted and is combined at the beam splitter. The combined light is detected by a split detector.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2023Date of Patent: June 25, 2024Assignee: DRS Network & Imaging Systems, LLCInventors: Marco A.

Patent number: 11815630Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for performing remote sensing using WMA. Embodiments include modulating an interrogation signal, transmitting the interrogation signal to a remote vibrating target, and receiving, at a first port of a WMA interferometer, a reflected signal. Embodiments also include splitting, by a first beam splitter, the reflected signal into first and second portions propagating down first and second waveguides, delaying, by a delay element, a phase of the reflected signal, and spatially phase shifting the reflected signal. Embodiments may further include splitting, by a second beam splitter, the first and second portions of the reflected signal into third and fourth portions propagating down the first and second waveguides, detecting an intensity difference between a first lobe and a second lobe of the third portion of the reflected signal, and calculating a Doppler frequency based on the intensity difference.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2022Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: DRS Network & Imaging Systems, LLCInventors: Marco A.

Patent number: 10247434Abstract: According to some embodiments, a heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system comprises a circulation fan, one or more humidity sensors operable to sense humidity data associated with an enclosed space, and a controller. In operation, the controller receives the humidity data from the one or more humidity sensors and receives air quality data associated with at least one air pollutant. The controller determines, based on the air quality data, that a threshold associated with the air pollutant has been exceeded and determines, based on the humidity data, that a threshold associated with humidity has not been exceeded. The controller operates the circulation fan in response to determining that the threshold associated with the air pollutant has been exceeded and the threshold associated with humidity has not been exceeded, the circulation fan operated for filtration purposes while not servicing any conditioning demand.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2016Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: Lennox Industries Inc.Inventors: Peter Hrejsa, Kyle Golden, Kevin Lyons, Jonathan Douglas, Thomas Wolowicz, Shailesh Manohar
