  • Patent number: 10465363
    Abstract: Improvements to a water generation system is disclosed. The atmosphere freezer to be made from modified, redesigned and rearranged components commonly used in the cryogenics and refrigeration industry but with the focus on generating maximum water from the coil and or panel systems installed inside of a “modified cargo container”. The atmosphere freezer is targeted to assist Governments, States and Municipal water districts, aqueducts, U.S. Military, waste water reclamation facilities and reservoir, lake and river municipal managers. Applications can also be used in agriculture and large commercial and or private facilities. This system can also be used in disaster and emergency relief, new or existing housing track developments, solar farms, golf courses, hotels, hospitals, large commercial buildings and universities. Each of these applications can have units designed to meet their needs based on the available space for the container(s) and or their need for water.

  • Patent number: 9906903
    Abstract: An alert system and method with a web based alert server configured with an alert creation portal allowing a customer to generate and store alert information specific to a location. An alert application for mobile devices is configured to upload to the alert server an anonymous token and mobile device location information. The alert server searches for anonymous tokens for mobile devices located within the alert location and serves stored alert information to the alert applications of the mobile devices located within the alert location.

  • Patent number: 6594198
    Abstract: A system for digitally demodulating optical hydrophone signals is provided. The system includes an optical hydrophone connected to an analog-to-digital converter and further connected to a digital signal processor. Within the digital signal processor, a demodulator is calibrated by a preferred automatic calibration circuit such that mixer frequencies are coherently mixed with the incoming acoustic signals received by the hydrophone. The automatic calibration circuit preferably determines an extreme case of phase offset by following a programmable routine including a series of tests. After the extreme case is detected, the precise phase calibration is known and provided to the demodulator mixer tables. The automatic calibration circuit can be utilized for automatic calibrations of multisensor systems containing large numbers of hydrophones.

  • Patent number: 6147930
    Abstract: A system for digitally demodulating optical hydrophone signals is provided. The system includes an optical hydrophone connected to an analog-to-digl converter and further connected to a digital signal processor. Within the digital signal processor, a basic demodulator has a first and second mixing tables, the first table operating at a modulating frequency, .omega., injected into reference legs of the hydrophone, and a second table operating at 2.omega.. The mixer frequencies are coherently mixed with the incoming acoustic signals received by the hydrophone. An automatic calibration circuit which adjusts the phase of the mixers is connected to the basic demodulator.
