  • Patent number: 11340096
    Abstract: An analyzer for a grease interceptor for measuring levels of fat, oils, and grease (FOG), water, sludge and air having a probe which includes a controller and a sensor sub-unit. Sensor circuits include a microcontroller, timers, and sampling capacitors. The sensor sub-unit includes a plurality of electrode ring pairs coupled to a plurality of timers for converting capacitance measurements to frequencies under the control of a microprocessor in the controller. The frequencies identify the measured levels.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 27, 2019
    Date of Patent: May 24, 2022
    Assignee: Water Analytics, Inc.
    Inventors: Mark Spencer, Joseph Genovese, William J. Schneller, Robert A. Troiano, II

  • Patent number: 7400864
    Abstract: A method and apparatus that reduces the amount of constellation rotation due to power amplifier (PA) insertion phase variation during activation (i.e., turn on) of a transmitter. This is accomplished by applying an instantaneous phase rotation during the transmitter turn on at digital baseband to counteract and minimize unwanted phase variations.

  • Publication number: 20050226345
    Abstract: Apparatus for reducing adjacent channel interference between proximate wireless communication units. Each wireless communication unit includes a digital baseband circuit and an analog baseband circuit. The digital baseband circuit includes at least one group delay compensation equalizer and at least one finite-impulse response (FIR) filter. The analog baseband circuit includes a radio (transmitter section), a power amplifier and a narrowband filter. The narrowband filter compensates for deficiencies of the power amplifier including distortion and radio frequency (RF) power spill over. The group delay compensation filter compensates for undesired characteristics (e.g., group delay variation) exhibited by the narrowband filter.
