Patent number: 10310101Abstract: A Geiger-Mueller charge particle rate measurement system includes a clock management unit in combination with multiple oscillators and rate feedback controller to allow for reactive switching between the different oscillator frequencies to optimize system use. Controlling the clock management unit to send the appropriate frequency (clock signal) to the timers in response to measured rate date from the rate feedback controller facilitates operation at different clock speeds, which helps reduce power consumption when operated at lower speeds.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2018Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: Leidos, Inc.Inventors: Eric Matthew Amendt, Ryan Shyffer
