Patents by Inventor Mitchell Peplow

Mitchell Peplow 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).

  • Ultrasound generating apparatus, and methods for generating ultrasound
    Patent number: 9341602
    Abstract: Ultrasound generating apparatus (10) comprises an arbitrary waveform generator (12) to provide a waveform output at (14), representing a waveform. A power amplifier (16), which may be an operational amplifier, is operable to amplify the waveform output (14) in power and amplitude to provide a power output (18) for applying to an ultrasonic transducer (20).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 3, 2012
    Date of Patent: May 17, 2016
    Assignee: The Lubrizol Corporation
    Inventors: Oliver Smith, Michael R. Sutton, Mitchell Peplow
  • Ultrasonic measurement
    Patent number: 9335305
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus relate to ultrasound measurement of a dimension such as the thickness (11) of an item (12) which may be worn over time by contact with an item (14). An ultrasonic transceiver (18) couples ultrasound into the item (12). Outgoing ultrasound i results in echos r returning to the transceiver (18). This allows calculation of time of flight to yield a value for the thickness (11). In the examples prescribed, the measurement is repeated a plurality of times in a specified period to extract a dimension from each received signal. Information extracted from the plurality of received signal is used to produce a single value indicative of the dimension of the item (12) over the specified period.
