Publication number: 20230198735Abstract: In one implementation, a receiver has a module to calculate the cross-correlation between a portion of a digital representation of a received signal and a reference signal. The receiver also has a module to generate an estimate of a portion of a message potentially included in the digital representation of the received signal and a screening module to determine the likelihood that the received signal includes a message. For a received signal that is determined likely to include a message, the receiver includes a carrier refinement module to shift the frequency of carrier pulses in the digital representation of the received signal toward a desired frequency and to align the phase of carrier pulses in the digital representation of the received signal with a desired phase and a coherent matched filter to recover the message from the digital representation of the received signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2022Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventor: Timothy DYSON

Publication number: 20230145314Abstract: An intrinsically safe (IS) multi-drop communication hub operable in a hazardous environment, including a power contact; a controller and a first signal input contact; a multiplexer communicatively connected to the controller; and a communication port communicatively connected to the controller to transmit the signal data provided by the multiplexer, wherein when the controller causes the multiplexer to supply power in a predetermined sequence to a first of the IS devices during a first time interval to generate a signal from the first of the IS devices and, after the first time interval, to a second of the IS devices during a second time interval, which does not overlap in time with the first time interval, to generate a signal from the second of the IS devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2021Publication date: May 11, 2023Inventors: Vitaliy Demin, Timothy Dyson, John J. Gillis, Alexander Lapayev

Patent number: 11580811Abstract: A fuel station controller to dispense fuel and drinks, a fuel station including the fuel station controller, and a product management subsystem including sensors communicatively coupled with the fuel station controller. The controller includes a housing comprising product modules having connectors adapted to connect conductors from an ingestible product dispenser, wherein the controller is communicatively coupled with the product modules and comprises processing instructions operable to receive a value indicative of a quantity of an ingestible product in a box to be dispensed by the ingestible product dispenser and to generate an empty box alert if the value is below an empty box setpoint.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2019Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Franklin Fueling Systems, LLCInventors: Martin L. Turnidge, Randall S. Boucher, Vitaliy Demin, Timothy Dyson, John J. Gillis, Adam Main, George A. Risch, John Francis Larkin

Patent number: 10601489Abstract: In one implementation, a receiver has a module to detect a carrier within a portion of a digital representation of a received signal. In addition, the receiver includes a module to calculate the cross-correlation between the portion of the digital representation of the received signal and a reference signal representing an expected pulse pattern. The receiver also has a module to generate an estimate of a portion of a message potentially included in the digital representation of the received signal. The receiver further includes a screening module to generate a feature vector representing the estimated message, project the feature vector into a feature space, and determine the likelihood that the digital representation of the received signal includes a message. If the digital representation of the received signal likely includes a message, the receiver includes a non-coherent matched filter to recover the message from the digital representation of the received signal.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2018Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Aireon LLCInventor: Timothy Dyson
