  • System of circumvention and recovery in a multi-function system
    Patent number: 7657785
    Abstract: A system of circumvention and recovery in a multi-function system. The system includes a plurality of peripherals, at least one event detector and a controller. The plurality of peripherals have different levels of susceptibility to environmental events. The at least one event detector is configured to detect environmental events. The controller is coupled to receive an event detected signal from the at least one event detector. The controller is further configured to control circumvention procedures of each peripheral based on the detected event and the level of susceptibility of the peripheral.
    Type: Grant

  • MOV failure mode identification
    Patent number: 7593209
    Abstract: A surge protector includes a thermal fuse, a metal oxide varistor electrically connected in series relation to the thermal fuse, and a detection network electrically connected in parallel relation to the thermal fuse and the metal oxide varistor. A first indicating means indicates whether or not the thermal fuse is in operation and a second indicating means indicates whether or not the metal oxide varistor is in operation.

  • Detecting radiation events in a ring laser gyroscope
    Patent number: 7286236
    Abstract: A system for detecting radiation events in a ring laser gyro is provided. The system includes one or more photodetectors, that produce photocurrent signals to monitor the ring laser gyro. Further, the system includes one or more comparator circuits actuating at one or more thresholds. The one or more comparator circuits are responsive to the photodetectors to detect when a radiation event occurs based on the photocurrent signal. The system further includes a path length control circuit responsive to the one or more comparator circuits, that restores operating conditions for the ring laser gyro when a radiation event occurs.
