  • Patent number: 11918331
    Abstract: A movement detection device includes a signal transmission device configured to transmit a radar signal transmission toward a target area and to receive reflected radar signals, and a signal analysis device configured to analyze the reflected radar signals to detect a movement in the target area that is indicative of micro-shivering. In response to detecting the micro-shivering, the movement detection device generates an alarm.

  • Patent number: 11905046
    Abstract: Systems and method of wrapping an object are disclosed. An object wrapping system includes a contractible loop, a positioning system, and a wrapping material system. The contractible loop is configured to be deployed in an expanded position and a contracted position. The positioning system is configured to position an object in alignment with an aperture defined by the contractible loop. The wrapping material system is configured to position a wrapping material between the object and the aperture. The positioning system is configured to move the object into the wrapping material and through the aperture when the contractible loop is deployed in the expanded position. The contractible loop is configured to deploy into the contracted position to at least partially close the wrapping material around the object.

  • Patent number: 8006141
    Abstract: A receive test accelerator retrieves an adjusted jitter amount and an adjusted test time in which to test a device. The adjusted jitter amount and the adjusted test time correspond to an adjusted bit error rate that is extrapolated from a baseline bit error rate, which corresponds to a baseline jitter amount. In turn, the receive test accelerator tests the device, at the adjusted test time, using a data stream that is modulated by the adjusted jitter amount.

  • Patent number: 7777509
    Abstract: A test apparatus and device under test has a probe that can be located very close to contact pads and that requires very few solder connections. In addition, the probe can be configured to meet any appropriate and desired electrical specification while still using a same circuit board. There is no need to attach discrete components to a circuit board. Thus, by using a configurable probe, a single circuit board may be used with multiple probes or a reconfigurable probe to test for compliance with a variety of different electrical specifications having different requirements.

  • Patent number: 7176737
    Abstract: A differential delay cell is provided herein that not only receives a pair of differential input values, but also receives a pair of differential control values for delaying the differential input values to produce a pair of differential output values. As such, a delay cell is provided, which is truly differential, and therefore, capable of demonstrating a significant improvement in noise performance. The differential delay cell of the present invention also demonstrates high frequency stability around the center frequency, constant gain and increased tuning range capabilities. In this manner, the differential delay cell may be used in PLL or DLL designs as part of a low noise VCO or a low noise delay line, respectively.

  • Patent number: 7111480
    Abstract: Highly preferred embodiments of the present invention have a lock bolt extendible and retractable by movement of a power transmission assembly driven by an actuator and having a cam thereon which cams against the lock bolt to retract the lock bolt and unlock the steering column. In some preferred embodiments, the cam has a curved surface with varying distance from the axis of rotation of the cam or pivot to produce smooth and controlled lock bolt camming action with little to no jarring motion. In order to significantly reduce manufacturing and assembly time and cost, some or all of the power transmission assembly can be assembled prior to installation in the lock assembly frame. More preferably, some or all of the power transmission assembly is integrally formed. Preferably, part or all of the lock assembly can be assembled without turning, flipping, or otherwise re-orienting the lock assembly during assembly.

  • Patent number: 4639733
    Abstract: An interferometer type DF system uses an array of five antennas (A,B,C,D,E) arranged at the apices of a regular pentagon to define five wide apertures along the sides of the pentagon and a further five apertures along the diagonals. The phases of the signals received by each antenna, are measured modulo 2.pi. and processed to give a unique bearing of the radio source to the accuracy of the widest aperture defined by the array. One method of processing the phases is to calculate from them the Fourier coefficients of the Fourier series representing the spatial phase distribution. By comparing the difference between each calculated coefficient and a corresponding order coefficient of a set of imaginary antenna phases expressed as integral multiples of 2.pi., the complete 2.pi. phase differences between the measured phases modulo 2.pi. can be found.

  • Patent number: 4201912
    Abstract: A device for detecting fissionable material such as uranium in low concentrations by interrogating with photoneutrons at energy levels below 500 keV, and typically about 26 keV. Induced fast neutrons having energies above 500 keV by the interrogated fissionable material are detected by a liquid scintillator or recoil proportional counter which is sensitive to the induced fast neutrons. Since the induced fast neutrons are proportional to the concentration of fissionable material, detection of induced fast neutrons indicate concentration of the fissionable material.
