Title: Method and apparatus for automatic gain control in a digital receiver
Inventor: PETERZELL PAUL E
IPC: H04B1/16
Filed: 1995-04-18
Abstract: An automatic gain control (AGC) apparatus for a digital receiver is disclosed herein. The AGC apparatus includes an adjustable gain amplifier having an input port for receiving an input signal, a control port for receiving a gain control signal, and an output port for providing an output signal. The AGC apparatus further includes a measurement circuit for generating a received power signal based on the power of the output signal. A saturating integrator compares the received power signal to a reference signal and generates an gain control signal in response to a result of the comparison. The saturating integrator includes a decision circuit for enabling integration based on values of the received power signal, the reference signal, and the gain control signal. In a preferred implementation the utilization of an input limiter in conjunction with an analog to digital converter enables accommodation of an increased input signal dynamic range. Accordingly, the AGC apparatus is capable of being used in digital demodulation of FM signals. The AGC apparatus may also be employed within a dual mode receiver designed to process both FM and code division multiple access (CDMA) input signals.

Title: Compact moisture sensor with collimator lenses and prismatic coupler.
Inventor: TEDER REIN S
IPC: G01N21/17
Filed: 1997-05-22
Abstract: A compact rain sensor for mounting on the inner surface of a windshield includes collimator lenses and a detachable prismatic coupler to facilitate the mounting of emitters and detectors on a circuit board which is positioned parallel to the inner surface of the windshield. A thin optical coupler is adhesively secured to the windshield. A sensor housing is detachably secured about the outer edges of the coupler. Within the sensor housing, surface-mounted infrared emitters and detectors, as well as signal processing circuitry, are all mounted on a single printed circuit board secured in the housing. When the sensor housing is mounted on the coupler, the printed circuit board is parallel to the inner surface of the windshield and in close proximity thereto. In operation, a light beam from the emitter enters the windshield at a forty-five degree angle and is reflected back from the outer surface of the windshield to the detector, which generates a control signal based on the amount of light reflected from the outer surface. Moisture on the outer surface of the windshield reduces the amount of light reflected to the detector. Surface mounted emitters and detectors, which are very cost and space efficient, are mounted on the circuit board with an initial optical axis perpendicular to the circuit board. In order to achieve the desired forty-five degree angle of entry into the windshield, the light beam emitted from the emitter is reflected, refracted, and collimated prior to entry into the windshield by collimator lenses mounted on the circuit board and by prismatic regions formed in the coupler.

Title: Scrubber-exhaust gas conditioner
Inventor: OLAVSON LARS G
IPC: B01D50/00
Filed: 1988-09-26
Granted: 1991-10-02
Abstract: A conditioner for cooling and cleaning hot exhaust gas containing particulates has an enclosure partially filled with liquid and a gas conditioning means positioned within the enclosure. Hot exhaust gas entering the conditioning means passes through a liquid induction portion submerged in the liquid to introduce a portion of the liquid into the hot gas stream within the gas conditioner means to form a gas-liquid mixture. The hot exhaust gas-liquid mixture then flows through a contact portion of the conditioning means in which cooling of the hot exhaust gas takes place through vaporization of at least a portion of the liquid. The cooled exhaust gas-liquid mixture is then passed through a separator portion of the conditioning means in which the direction of the flow of the cooled exhaust gas-liquid mixture is changed. Separation of the cooled exhaust gas from at least a portion of the liquid and particulates occurs through a centrifugal action of the mixture within the separator portion of the conditioning means. The liquid and particulates removed from the cooled exhaust gas return to the pool of liquid within the enclosure. The cleaned and cooled exhaust gas impinges on a barrier type separator to remove additional liquid entrained in the cooled exhaust gas. The cooled exhaust gas then passes through an outlet opening in the enclosure to the atmosphere.
