  • Patent number: 8405547
    Abstract: A self-provisioning antenna (SPA) system and method provides for automatic simultaneous remote optimization of one or more field antenna terminals over a wireless network. A central server communicates with a field controller to modify configurations of any directional radiating elements, filters settings, and low noise amplifier settings associated with one or more remotely located antenna banks, determines the optimal configurations based on readings of field signal quality metrics including RSSI, EC/IO, and date rate standard samples, and allows a human operator to select a configuration.

  • Publication number: 20120262144
    Abstract: A bootstrap assist circuit and a startup circuit comprising a voltage controlled switch and a startup ramp voltage generator connected to the voltage controlled switch that will control a high side switch, a dimming interface or an enable/disable input function. Said system is used to provide a bootstrap technique to continuously switch a floating high side switch (MOSFET) by continuously charging a capacitor and then “level shifting” said capacitor voltage across the gate and source of the said high side switch to turn the switch on.

  • Publication number: 20080083411
    Abstract: A particulate respirator facepiece has photocatalyst in the airflow path and a light source that illuminates the photocatalyst. Photocatalyst may include titanium oxide, tin oxide and other semiconductor photocatalysts. Strong oxidizers generated by the illuminated photocatalyst kill infectious agents and decompose toxic organic compounds. The particulate respirator facepiece can be used outdoors, illuminated by natural sunlight; indoors, illuminated by ambient lighting, and; in the dark, with the built-in light source. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) or another source of light built in to the particulate respirator facepiece illuminates the photocatalyst. Light conductors may be incorporated to distribute light from the built-in light source over the photocatalyst.

  • Patent number: 5606125
    Abstract: An optical temperature compensated material level-interface sensing and control system which comprises an insertion probe (10), control circuitry and a housing enclosure (72). The probe (10) makes use of a pair of emitters and detectors, in which one pair is positioned across a channel (26) through which material passes and the other pair are mounted in a sealed tubular bracket. The first emitter and detector pair are optically active with respect to sensed material, and the other pair is optically isolated, but thermally active. The resulting signal is a function of the material's linear coefficient of absorption with the thermal influence being effectively canceled out. The outputs of the control circuit are user selectable and changeable. The device is able to detect material presence and identity for use in interface-level control applications through a wide range of pressures and temperatures in industrial applications.
