Patents by Inventor Salvatore R. Picard

Salvatore R. Picard 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).

  • Seismic-acoustic detection device
    Patent number: 5054006
    Abstract: A detection system for indicating the presence of motorized equipment in a esignated area having an acoustic sensor, a seismic sensor and an acoustic signal transmitter. The seismic sensor output, processed to discriminate against vibrations of short duration, is fed along with the acoustic sensor output, to an "ANDing" circuit which gates the acoustic transmitter. The acoustic sensor output is passed to the transmitter only during coincidence of seismic and acoustic detection.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 19, 1970
    Date of Patent: October 1, 1991
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy
    Inventors: George A. Gimber, Edward J. Cotilla, Salvatore R. Picard, Robert F. Starry
  • Data link timing
    Patent number: 4500884
    Abstract: A data link for an automatic aircraft carrier landing system is described which an aircraft is guided to the carrier by pitch and bank information from the carrier so as to indicate to the pilot of the aircraft whether he is within a prescribed flight path for landing or whether he should be waved off for another approach. The information transmitted from the carrier is received by a microelectronic data link receiver having an internal clock which is synchronized with the incoming information to determine if that particular aircraft is being addressed and if so, what the nature of this information is so that it may be stored and presented to the pilot at a later time for appropriate action.
