Patent number: 10317291Abstract: A sensor system comprises a first sensor, a second sensor, a high pass filter, and a summation unit. The first sensor senses an environmental parameter and outputs a first electronic signal with a response having a first time constant. The second sensor senses the environmental parameter and outputs a second electronic signal with a response having a second time constant greater than the first time constant. The high pass filter has a filter time constant roughly equal to the second time constant and filters the first electronic signal, outputting a filtered first electronic signal in which changes in a level or value of the first electronic signal with transition times that are less than the filter time constant are passed. The summation unit receives the filtered first electronic signal and the second electronic signal and outputs a sum of the filtered first electronic signal and the second electronic signal.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2016Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Brewer Science, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Fury, Nicholas Anthony, Ryan Giedd

Patent number: 9581625Abstract: The present invention is directed to an RFID device. The RFID device includes a brace affixed to an inductor or capacitor. The brace is constructed from a material structurally responsive to a predetermined stimulus, such that stimulus-responsive structural alterations to the brace structurally alters the inductor, capacitor, or other RFID subcomponent of the RFID circuit capable of generating a current alteration, which in turn alters the signal frequency of the RFID.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2015Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: U.S. Photonics, Inc.Inventors: Jacob Conner, Ryan Giedd

Patent number: 9102523Abstract: The present invention includes an electron-discharge signal system with a supercharged electron source and process therefor. The system may be any signal modification unit such as a klystron, magnetron, traveling wave tube, etc. The system includes a heat-responsive electron source, supercharger, collector, a wave modification assembly, and a bleeder module. The electron source discharges an electron beam along a predetermined electron path. The supercharger heats the electron source upon absorption of electromagnetic radiation of a predetermined signal characteristic redirected by the system. The bleeder module redirects a portion of the system's output signal to the supercharger, which heats in response thereto. In other embodiments, the system may be operated entirely by electromagnetic radiation from a freestanding signal source.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2012Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: U.S. Photonics, Inc.Inventors: Jacob Conner, Ryan Giedd
