Avalanche Victim Locating Transceiving Apparatus
US Patent:
6484021, Nov 19, 2002
Filed:
Nov 15, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/713124
Inventors:
John W. Hereford - Boulder CO 80302
Michael X. Bond - Boulder CO
Michael X. Bond - Boulder CO
Assignee:
John W. Hereford - Boulder CO
International Classification:
H04M 1100
US Classification:
455404, 340573, 455 90
Abstract:
A rescue transceiver apparatus for transmitting a signal to and receiving a signal from another rescue transceiver apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises a housing and a radio signal transmitter for the transmission of a radio signal in a transmitting mode with a first predetermined frequency with the radio signal transmitter being mounted within the housing. A receiver is provided for selectively receiving the first predetermined frequency from the radio signal transmitter in a receiving mode. The receiver comprises a first antenna mounted completely within the housing, a second antenna mounted completely within the housing with the second antenna being disposed substantially perpendicular to the first antenna, and a virtual third antenna mounted completely within the housing with the virtual third antenna being derived from phase information generated by the first antenna and the second antenna. The first antenna, the second antenna, and the third virtual third antenna provide three-dimensional vector analysis by the receiver of the predetermined frequency received from the radio transmitter. The apparatus further comprises a microcontroller for controlling the radio signal transmitter and the receiver.

Communications System Utilizing Fsk/Psk Modulation Techniques
US Patent:
5521602, May 28, 1996
Filed:

Racom Systems, Inc. - Englewood CO
International Classification:
G01S 1374, G01S 1380
US Classification:
342 50
Abstract:
A passive transponder incorporating non-volatile ferroelectric memory is powered by inductive coupling to a proximately located controller. A communication system and method utilizes the controller to send data and commands to the transponder by an FSK modulated RF signal in order to cause the transponder to either read selected data from, or write selected data to, the non-volatile memory and transmit the same back to the controller utilizing PSK RF modulation. The communication system and method operates either full duplex or half duplex with the controller causing the transponder to simultaneously write data to its non-volatile memory as the memory is read out and transmitted to the controller thereof. Features of the invention include, signal transmission between the controller and transponder occur concurrently; the controller's FSK signal is modulated between 125 KHz and 116. 3 KHz; the transponder's PSK signal is 62.
Indoor Photovoltaic Flasher
US Patent:
2013033, Dec 19, 2013
Filed:
Jun 18, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/507280
Inventors:
Kenneth R. Epstein - , US
Michael B. Bond - Boulder CO, US
Michael B. Bond - Boulder CO, US
International Classification:
H05B 37/00, G09F 13/00
US Classification:
315224, 40541
Abstract:
An indoor photovoltaic flasher has a photovoltaic panel to collect ambient indoor light and convert the light into energy; the energy from the photovoltaic panel is stored as voltage in a capacitor; current will flow from the capacitor through a MOSFET to the light emitting diodes display, with the MOSFET being an on/off switch for the light emitting diodes display; and a voltage divider and an integrated circuit will control the MOSFET and determine whether there is sufficient voltage in the capacitor to power the light emitting diodes in the display.
