20140253033 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY CHARGING A BATTERY DURING MOTION - A system and method for controlling the operation of an electrically operated vehicle. The system comprises a digital commutation system for charging electric vehicle batteries. That system includes an electromagnet, an electromagnet status sensor, and a controller. The electromagnet is coupled to a crankshaft and configured both to receive a current from the batteries and to supply charge to them The electromagnet status sensor is configured to detect a status of the electromagnet and the controller is configured to control coupling of the electromagnet to batteries based on the detected electromagnet status as well as to monitor the current received by and the charge supplied from the electromagnet. The method includes supplying a current to the electromagnet, producing a electromagnetic field in the electromagnet winding, pulling the electromagnet core into the winding, and then collapsing the electromagnetic field, capturing and storing the charge corresponding to the collapsed field. | 09-11-2014 |

20080276821 | Projectile and System for Providing Air-to-Surface Reconnaissance - An aerial reconnaissance projectile, such as a mortar, is launched for viewing a battlefield scene. A reconnaissance section is released from the projectile and conveys back pictures of the battlefield scene taken by a camera and transmitted by radio to a ground position for viewing on a video screen. The reconnaissance section; may have an inertia measurement unit for determining its position over the battlefield scene. The projectile containing the reconnaissance equipment may be a convention mortar round or a rocket projectile. This aerial reconnaissance projectile is capable of carrying sensors for chemical, biological or nuclear activity on the surface area being traversed or intercepting radio signals from the ground and conveying this information by radio to a ground position with a radio receiver. | 11-13-2008 |
20080277939 | Linear Generator and System to Capture Energy from Irregular Linear Movement - A system for capturing and storing electrical energy from irregular limited reciprocal linear movement along a cylinder, such as a shock absorber of a vehicle. A linear generator with electrical coils is wound around the cylinder parallel to the movement of the cylinder or along the cylinder. The electrical current generated by the linear generator can be stored in a battery. The energy from the recoil of a large military gun can also be captured by a linear generator along the barrel of the gun and stored in the battery. A processing device can be included to control the flow of electric energy from the linear generator to the battery. The electrical current can pass through a filter and may be processed by a conditioner to limit the range of voltage generated by the linear generator. | 11-13-2008 |

20090174614 | ANTENNA WITH MULTIPLE CO-LOCATED ELEMENTS WITH LOW MUTUAL COUPLING FOR MULTI-CHANNEL WIRELESS COMMUNICATION - An antenna that has a number of co-located elements, with no (or very small) coupling between the various elements. The antenna may comprise one or more electric dipole elements, such as an electric tripole, co-located with one or more magnetic dipole elements, such as a magnetic tripole. The antenna has the property that although all of the electric and magnetic dipole elements are co-located, there is substantially no coupling between the elements. Some of the antenna elements may operate as transmitters and the others may act as receivers. The antenna elements may be tuned to different frequencies. The antenna may comprise less than six antenna elements. Also disclosed are example devices and systems that may utilize the antenna structure, such as a handheld wireless communication device and an access point of a HVAC wireless communication system. | 07-09-2009 |

20110280325 | SPECTRAL-TEMPORAL AVERAGING FOR IEEE 802.11p DYNAMIC CHANNEL EQUALIZATION - A system and method for providing dynamic channel equalization in V2V and V2I communications systems. The method includes separating the channel bandwidth of a message into a plurality of subcarriers having different subcarrier frequencies, where the subcarriers include data subcarriers and pilot subcarriers. The method demodulates the message in the receiver to extract symbols from the message and determines channel estimation frequency responses using a least-squares estimation process and the extracted symbols for the pilot subcarriers. The channel estimation frequency responses of either the pilot subcarriers, the pilot subcarriers and some data subcarriers, or the pilot subcarriers and all data subcarriers are used to generate updated channel estimation frequency responses, and a new channel estimation frequency response is generated for each extracted signal using a previous channel estimation frequency response and the updated channel estimation frequency response. The extracted symbols are equalized using the new channel estimation frequency response. | 11-17-2011 |

20090068330 | Method for cooling - A method is described for lowering the temperature of products in a manner that results in relatively low adherence of coolant to the processed packages. The method includes establishing a source of aqueous potassium acetate solution having a pre-determined temperature, and contacting the products with at least a portion of that solution for an appropriate time so as to lower the temperature of the products to a desired temperature. | 03-12-2009 |
