Patents by Inventor Markus Fuchs Nunes

Markus Fuchs Nunes 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: 8744027
    Abstract: The invention relates to an infrared receiver circuit for receiving a carrier-modulated infrared signal that comprises a carrier signal and a wanted signal modulated onto the carrier signal, having a band pass filter that exhibits a frequency adjustment connection via which the band center frequency of the band pass filter can be adjusted, furthermore having a demodulator for recovering the wanted signal and having a signal output to which the demodulated wanted signal can be output. The infrared receiver circuit exhibits a signal input that is at least indirectly connected to the frequency adjustment connection of the band pass filter so that the band center frequency of the band pass filter can be adjusted by a clock signal of an external clock pulse generator.

  • Patent number: 8447192
    Abstract: The invention relates to an infrared receiver circuit for processing a carrier-modulated infrared signal, comprising an amplification circuit and a demodulator. A comparator is provided, which is designed to digitize the output signal of the amplification circuit or of a band pass filter connected downstream of the amplification circuit by comparison to a threshold value in order to create a pulse train signal. The receiver circuit comprises a logic circuit, which is designed to link the pulse train signal of the comparator and the output signal of the demodulator logically to each other in order to extract an additional output signal corresponding to the infrared signal from the pulse train signal.
