  • Pulse per second signal generation using a fiber optic gyroscope
    Patent number: 10914588
    Abstract: A fiber optic gyroscope inputs laser light into opposing ends of a fiber optic coil and detects light at the same ends of the optical fiber. A pulse-per-second signal is generated by determining the phase difference between the two opposing laser light signals, and generating electrical pulses based on this detected phase difference. The fiber optic gyroscope may become a source of one or more PPS signals used by a vehicle.

  • Methods and systems for configuring sensor acquisition based on pressure steps
    Patent number: 8954211
    Abstract: Technologies are provided for underwater measurements. A system includes an underwater vessels including: a plurality of sensors disposed thereon for measuring underwater properties; and a programmable controller configured to selectively activate the plurality of sensors based at least in part on underwater pressure. A user may program at what pressure ranges certain sensors are activated to measure selected properties, and may also program the ascent/descent rate of the underwater vessel, which is correlated with the underwater pressure.
