Patent number: 11026066Abstract: A method for determining a location of a device in a wireless network includes transmitting a digital transmit signal from a digital transmitter including a first antenna. The first antenna is configured to transmit the digital transmit signal to two or more receivers. A first receiver including a second antenna and a second receiver including a third antenna receive the digital transmit signal from the digital transmitter. The digital transmit signal arrives at the receivers at two different time instances as a first digital signal and a second digital signal. A comparison of the digital signals is performed at the processor. A time difference of arrival of the digital signals is determined at the processor based on the performed comparison. The direction of travel of the digital transmit signal is estimated at the processor. A bearing to the digital transmitter is determined.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2017Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: AirMagnet, Inc.Inventors: Paul S. Swanson, Warren L. Chambliss

Patent number: 5834760Abstract: Methods of controlling the power level of a pulsed laser beam being used to scan barcodes and the like in order to increase the depth-of-field. The pulses may comprise a plurality of pulses above and below a maximum legal power level so that, on average, the power output is below the legal limit. The sensor may be monitored for no-signal and over-signal conditions and the power of the laser beam adjusted accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 1996Date of Patent: November 10, 1998Assignee: Intermec CorporationInventors: H.

Patent number: 5798509Abstract: Disclosed is apparatus for scanning a field of view for two-dimensional data and for rapidly processing the data. There is a video device viewing the field of view and producing a two-dimensional matrix of pixel data as an output representing a plurality of pixel positions of the field of view. A digital memory receives and holds the two-dimensional matrix of pixel data output from the video device in a plurality of multiple pixel data words. There is also a digital processor including a register for receiving pixel data and logic for processing data to decode it. Primarily, there is pixelizer logic and associated circuitry connected between the digital memory and the digital processor for removing data associated with a specified pixel position within the field of view from an associated one of the plurality of multiple pixel data words in the digital memory and for placing the data into a pre-established bit position within the register of the digital processor.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 1996Date of Patent: August 25, 1998Assignee: Intermec CorporationInventors: Paul S.

Patent number: 5260970Abstract: A protocol analyzer pod for monitoring U-interface data streams in a communication system wherein full duplex U-interface line codes (such as AMI and 2B1Q) are used. The protocol analyzer pod is intrusively inserted (that is, inserted in series) in a U-interface line between a central office and a customer equipment. The protocol analyzer pod includes two cross-connected U-interface transceivers. According to the present invention, each end of the U-interface line is terminated into one of the U-interface transceivers. The two U-interface transceivers perform adaptive equalization and echo cancelling on their respective line segments. Also, the two U-interface transceivers separate the full duplex U-interface data stream on the U-interface line into separate input and output data streams. A protocol analyzer may monitor the full duplex U-interface data stream by monitoring the half duplex input and output data streams.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 1991Date of Patent: November 9, 1993Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventors: Tim W.
