20090058099Electro Gravity Plates for Generating Electricity from Passage of Vehicles Over the Plates - Electro-gravity plates are applied to road surfaces for generating electricity from the passage of vehicles over the plates. Each plate contains a packed lattice of electro-gravity cells that individually produces electricity from the passing vehicles. The cells use a variety of technologies to convert the kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energy of moving vehicles into electricity. A first type of cell includes a spring-loaded permanent magnet inside a solenoid. The passing vehicles cause the magnet to translate up and down inside the solenoid for generating electricity. A second type of cell includes a spring-loaded hammer and a piezoelectric material. The passing vehicles cause the hammer to compress the piezoelectric material for generating electricity. A third type of cell includes a counterweighted crank rotatably coupled to a dynamo. The passing vehicles cause the crank to rotate the dynamo for generating electricity.03-05-2009
20110084502Linear Rotary Generator - A linear rotary generator includes a magnet, a housing defining a cavity receiving the magnet, and a solenoid around the cavity. The magnet has a magnetic axis that rotates about a rotational axis as the magnet rolls along a direction perpendicular to the rotational axis. As the magnet passes through the solenoid, it induces an alternating current in the solenoid. The rotary power generator may be fixed to an object experiencing motion, which causes the magnet to roll in the housing and generate electricity for the object.04-14-2011

20080279029LOW VOLTAGE DATA PATH IN MEMORY ARRAY - A data path of a memory is from an array of the memory, through a sense amplifier, through NOR gates, through N channel transistors, and through a latch that provides an output. The sense amplifier provides complementary data to the NOR gates which provide an output to the N channel transistors. The NOR gates provide outputs to the latch. This has the affect of providing outputs to gates of one inverter and drains of another inverter. Additional P channel transistors are in series with the inverters of the latch. The P channel transistor that is in series with the inverters whose drains are receiving the signal is made to be nonconductive by the output of the NOR gate to block current flow to the N channel transistor that is providing the input to the latch. The blocking of the current reduces the amount of current that the N channel transistor has to sink. This enables the N channel transistor, even at a reduced voltage, to be sufficiently conductive to flip the state of the latch.11-13-2008

20110181465MULTI-CONSTELLATION GLOBAL NAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEM AUGMENTATION AND ASSISTANCE - A multi-constellation GNSS augmentation and assistance system may include a plurality of reference stations. Each reference station may be adapted to receive navigation data from a plurality of different global navigation satellite systems and to monitor integrity and performance data for each different global navigation satellite system. An operation center may receive the integrity and performance data transmitted from each of the plurality of reference stations. A communication network may transmit a message from the operation center to navcom equipment of a user for augmentation and assistance of the navcom equipment.07-28-2011
20110254734Software GNSS Receiver for High-Altitude Spacecraft Applications - A system that provides GPS-based navigation/orbit determination capabilities for high-altitude spacecraft. The system uses an existing spacecraft processor and an easy-to-space-qualify minimum-hardware front end to minimize the need for new space-qualified hardware. The system also uses coherent integration to acquire and track the very weak GPS signals at high altitudes. The system also uses diurnal thermal modeling of a spacecraft clock and precision orbit propagation to enable longer coherent integration, a special Kalman filter to allow weak signal tracking by integrated operation of orbit determination and GPS signal tracking, and a segment-by-segment, post-processing, delayed-time approach to allow a low-speed spacecraft processor to provide the software GPS capability.10-20-2011
