Title: Quadrature modulator which employs four 90-degrees-shifted carriers
Inventor: BALLANTYNE GARY J
IPC: H03C1/54
Filed: 2004-03-17
Granted: 2012-08-21
Abstract: A quadra-polar modulator that is simple to implement and also provides good noise performance. The quadra-polar modulator includes four amplitude modulators and a combiner. Each amplitude modulator modulates a respective carrier signal with a respective input signal to provide a respective output signal. The combiner then combines the four output signals from the four amplitude modulators to provide a modulated signal. Each amplitude modulator may be implemented with a switching amplifier, such as a supply modulated class E amplifier. Two input signals are obtained by summing separately an inphase (I) modulating signal and an inverted I modulating signal with an offset value. The other two input signals are obtained by summing separately a quadrature (Q) modulating signal and an inverted Q modulating signal with the offset value. The offset value can be selected based on the expected magnitude of the modulating signals. The four carrier signals are in quadrature to each other.

Abstract: An enhanced Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) network is optimized through bundling subchannel traffic in DWDM channels at network nodes and "hubbing" the DWDM channels at nodes receiving a relatively higher volume of aggregate traffic than other nodes. The optimization can eliminate low rate links and supporting network equipment. The bundling and hubbing may also be used independently from one another. The DWDM network may be enhanced with SONET, SDH, Ethernet, ATM, or other technology. The DWDM network may be a BLSR, UPSR, point-to-point, mesh, or other network configuration.

Title: Directional acoustic telemetry receiver
Inventor: SINANOVIC SINAN
IPC: H04H60/31
Filed: 2004-10-21
Granted: 2009-12-15
Abstract: Acoustic telemetry devices and methods that provide directional detection. In one embodiment, a disclosed acoustic telemetry device comprises at least two acoustic sensors and an electronics module. A first of the acoustic sensors detects a communication signal that propagates along a tubing string in a first direction. A second of the acoustic sensors is configured to detect the communication signal before the first acoustic sensor. The electronics module combines the detection signals from the acoustic sensors to obtain a combined signal that substantially excludes signals propagating in a direction opposite to the communication signal. Such signal suppression may significantly enhance the communication signal's signal-to-noise ratio, thereby increasing channel capacity. The acoustic telemetry device may be configured to support logging while drilling and/or full-duplex communication.

Abstract: A tremolo assembly is implemented for modulating the string tension on a guitar by mounting a bridge carrier on a sliding mount with the fore and aft displacement thereof effected by a transverse cam implemented fulcrum piece opposing the string tension. The sliding mount limits the bridge translation to the string plane, thus resolving all bending and lateral string forced. A  forwardly and rearwardly aligned set of manual levers is then useful in modulating downward and upward the tension of the strings in unison against a set of bias springs.

IPC: G01S13/56
Filed: 1994-04-08
Granted: 2008-09-30
Abstract: A motion sensor is based on ultra-wideband (UWB) radar. UWB radar range is determined by a pulse-echo interval. For motion detection, the sensors operate by staring at a fixed ranged and then sensing any change in the averaged radar reflectivity at that range. A sampling gate is opened at a fixed delay after the emission of a transmit pulse. The resultant sampling gate output is averaged over repeated pulses. Changes in the averaged sampling gate output represent changes in the radar reflectivity at a particular range, and thus motion.
