Patents by Inventor Phil Douglas

Phil Douglas 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).

  • Patent number: 6545483
    Abstract: An analyzer sensor for detecting signal waveforms on a pair of conductors. The apparatus includes capacitive couplers connected to termination impedance and adapted for placement adjacent to the conductors to capacitively couple the signals of the conductors to the associated termination impedance. The invention further includes a first and second buffer amplifier responsive, respectively, to the signals at the termination impedances, for providing at a first and second output thereof, respectively, an amplified difference of the signals. Furthermore, the invention includes a utility module having a battery source connected to the buffer amplifiers by a line for providing power to the buffer amplifiers at a location distant from the buffer amplifiers.
