Steven Richard Trimble 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).

  • Minimal dead time digitally compensated process transmitter
    Patent number: 9157763
    Abstract: A process transmitter includes a sensor for producing an analog process signal as a function of a process parameter. The uncompensated analog process signal is digitized by an A/D converter and digitally compensated by a digital processor. The digitized signal from the analog-to-digital converter is also band pass filtered. The digitally compensated signal and the band pass filtered signal are combined to produce a transmitter output.
    Type: Grant

  • Mode selectable field transmitter
    Patent number: 7808379
    Abstract: A selectable mode field transmitter is configurable to operate in one of a plurality of operating modes having different combinations of function, performance, and power consumption. The selectable mode field transmitter includes a housing, a sensor located within the housing, and transmitter circuitry for transmitting data provided by the sensor to a receiver external to the housing. The transmitter circuitry includes a controller that electrically configures the transmitter circuitry to one of a plurality of operational modes in response to mode selection data received from a source external to the housing. Therefore, the selectable mode field transmitter can be configured based on the needs or requirements of a particular application.
