Patent number: 8976874Abstract: In a modular signal mirroring system each point-to-point RF transceiver end has a controller module coupled to one or more I/O modules. The I/O modules have various input and output circuits. A signal received at the near end is reconstructed at the far end after being transmitted in an RF packet. The reconstructed signal may be the same as the input signal, inverted from the input signal or level-shifted from the input signal. It is representative of the input signal following the input signal's state after a time-quantization latency. Transmission between the two ends is via a periodic transmission controlled in a master slave protocol. If a transmission is not received in a timely manner or, in some systems, if intentional interference with transmissions is detected, the reconstructed signal is forced to a safe state determined by local switch settings. The settings include the last known good state.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2014Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: OleumTech CorporationInventor: Matthew A. Tanner

Patent number: 8668828Abstract: Sanitary elements and cartridges of high performance are described which utilize a thin surrounding tubular shell with an exterior textured surface. Through the use of an overwrap material of particular design and by wrapping an assemblage of sheets of semipermeable membrane material, permeate carrier material and feed spacer material using a high tension, a spirally wound crossflow filtration element is constructed which has a substantially cylindrical outer surface of closely controlled OD that smoothly fits within such shell and which resists telescoping as a result of its radial compression.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2008Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignee: TriSep CorporationInventors: Peter H. Knappe, Matthew Tanner

Patent number: 8510092Abstract: Computer-implementable recursive summation algorithms are disclosed that are useful for efficiently performing recursive convolution, such as is often required in Statistical Signal Analysis (SSA) techniques. The disclosed recursive summation algorithms can be more computationally-efficient from both a speed and memory perspective than other recursive convolution techniques known in the prior art, such as the techniques relying on Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs).Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2011Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Timothy M. Hollis, J. Matthew Tanner

Patent number: 6974424Abstract: A palatometer and nasometer apparatus is disclosed for the diagnosis and treatment of speech impairment, new language sound learning, and other uses. The palatometer includes a palatal body containing electrodes which fits in a user's mouth. Contact between the user's tongue or lips and the electrodes is indicated on display equipment. The palatometer and display equipment operate to indicate the position and movement of the tongue and lips. The nasometer includes interchangeable sound separator plates to fit users with different facial curvatures. Microphones are attached to the top and bottom of the sound separator plate to measure sound emitted from the nose and mouth for determining the nasality of speech. The palatometer and nasometer are combined to optimize the ability to define speech normality as well as diagnose and remediate speech.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2001Date of Patent: December 13, 2005Assignee: Logometrix CorporationInventors: Samuel G. Fletcher, Burton Sparks, J. Matthew Tanner

Patent number: 5812394Abstract: An object-oriented development system for developing control schemes for facilities includes a device diagramming component for describing a physical description of a facility and a logical definition of a control scheme for the facility. The device diagramming component includes a mode for selecting device symbols representative of equipment or control functions used in facilities. The device symbols are selected from an object-oriented repository containing a plurality of device symbols and device objects. Certain types of device symbols relate to device objects containing logical instructions and configuration information relating to the represented equipment or control functions. The device diagramming component also includes a mode for interrelating in a graphical manner the selected device symbols and their corresponding device objects into a device diagram representing the physical description of the facility and the logical definition of the control scheme for the facility.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 1995Date of Patent: September 22, 1998Assignee: Control Systems InternationalInventors: Robert W.
