Marc L. Denis has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11612951
    Abstract: A system and method for wirelessly controlling, monitoring, and updating various welding parameters from a remote device using a single remote control. The remote does not need to have the software to communicate with the welding-type system prior to initiating communications with the welding-type system. Rather, the welding-type system can provide a code download to the remote to perform an over-the-air programming of the remote to configure the remote to control the welding-type system.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150196970
    Abstract: A welding device includes a welding power input configured to receive welding power and data via a welding power cable. The welding power is combined with the data. Moreover, the data is encoded using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). The welding device also includes control circuitry configured to receive the OFDM encoded data and to decode the OFDM encoded data.

  • Patent number: 5635921
    Abstract: An apparatus for, and method of, providing an emergency signal over preselected frequencies of various radio bands such that the operators of nearby motor vehicles, or other emergency vehicles, or the like, may respond accordingly. The preselected frequencies may be selected to correspond to radio station frequencies, police frequencies, emergency frequencies, etc. which are active at a corresponding location. However, because the frequencies may be preselected, sensitive radio frequencies, for example those used by fire fighting units, police units and other emergency systems, may be excluded from the selection. Consistent therewith, the selected frequencies may be provided by a user, a scanner, or any other means for selecting appropriate frequencies. The power applied to the emergency signal may be adjusted such that only vehicles within a predefined range relative to the transmitting unit are affected.
