20090125970Satellite LNB Power Supply Adaptive Load - A method of processing an LNB power supply output signal comprising providing an LNB selection signal to select a first of the plurality of LNB signals as the input signal, superimposing a tone onto the LNB selection signal to select a second of the plurality of LNB signals as the input signal, providing a first transponder selection voltage to select a first set of transponders within the input signal, providing a second transponder selection voltage to select a second set of transponders within the input signal, and activating an adaptive load to preserve the tone if the second of the plurality of LNB signals is selected.05-14-2009
20120025929FILTER WITH IMPROVED IMPEDANCE MATCH TO A HYBRID COUPLER - The present invention concerns a bandstop filter for preventing signals of frequencies used for inter-device communications in a television signal distribution system from interfering with a signal source. The filter is designed to work with a signal splitter and reduce the negative impact on inter-device communication through the splitter caused by conventional bandstop filters. The filter adds a section to a bandstop filter to provide a resistive load and high output impedance at the port feeding the splitter largely through the action of a parallel resonant circuit.02-02-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110055779Nonsequential Hardware Design Synthesis Verification - Methods and apparatuses for verifying a concurrent logical design and a corresponding non-sequential algorithmic description are provided. In some implementations, verification of a non-sequential algorithmic description for a device design is facilitated by monitoring a simulation of the non-sequential algorithmic description and synchronizing the timing of selected events with timing from an already completed simulation of a corresponding logical design. With various implementations, the hierarchical blocks in the logical design are monitored during the prior simulation to record selected event information. Subsequently, the recorded event information may be used to synchronize the simulation of the non-sequential algorithmic description.03-03-2011

20110138348HIERARCHICAL PRESENTATION TECHNIQUES FOR A DESIGN TOOL - A design tool hierarchically presents information about a design with nested blocks. For example, the design tool presents scheduling information for the design in a hierarchical Gantt chart. The scheduling information includes hierarchical design schedule blocks which accurately depict the timing and scheduling of the nested blocks of the design. Each of the hierarchical design schedule blocks includes control steps numbered relative to the block. The scheduling information also includes a hierarchical list of scheduled operations for the design. The hierarchical list emphasizes which operations are associated with which nested blocks. The scheduling information further includes pseudo-operation icons that are easily differentiated from real operation icons in the hierarchical Gantt chart.06-09-2011

20120029843METHOD, SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR SENSOR DATA COLLECTION IN A WIND TURBINE - Method, system, and computer program product for collecting sensor readings from a component of a wind turbine. The system includes a data collection system coupled in communication with a sensor. The data collection unit includes a processor configured to direct the sensor readings from the sensor to a buffer for temporary storage and to identify a triggering event by comparing the sensor readings received from the sensor with a reference value. In response to the identification of the triggering event, the sensor readings are transferred from the buffer to the mass storage device and stored in a non-volatile form by the mass storage device.02-02-2012
