20100192479LOAD SENSITIVE SNOW BARRIER DEVICE - A snow-retaining device comprises a detachable upper member attached to a base anchor. The base anchor is adapted to be coupled to a roof. The upper member prevents snow from sliding off the roof during regular snow conditions. In order to prevent catastrophic damage to the roof, if a snow load on the roof exceeds a maximum threshold, the upper member detaches from the base anchor to allow some or all of the snow to slide off the roof. The device optionally integrates a snow melting device.08-05-2010

20120245901Finite Impulse Response Filter For Producing Outputs Having Different Phases - A method and system for designing and implementing a finite impulse response (FIR) filter to create a plurality of output signals, each output signal having the same frequency but at a different phase shift from the other output(s), is described. Values are determined for the resistors, or other elements having impedance values, in a FIR filter having a plurality of outputs, such that each output has the same frequency response but a different phase than the other output(s). This is accomplished by the inclusion of a phase factor in the time domain calculation of the resistor values that does not change the response in the frequency domain. The phase shift is constant and independent of the frequency of the output signal.09-27-2012

20100230621PHOTONIC FILTERING OF ELECTRICAL SIGNALS - A filter and a method of filtering a high frequency electrical signal using photonic components is disclosed. The filter has a serially fiber-coupled laser source, a modulator, a filter, and a photodetector. The electrical signal is applied to the modulator. The modulated light propagates through the filter which is constructed to pass not only a modulated sideband, but also at least a fraction of light at the carrier frequency of the laser. The photodetector detects a signal at the beat frequency between the carrier and sideband signals, after both signals have propagated through the filter. As a result, a separate optical branch for light at the carrier frequency is not required, which considerably simplifies the filter construction and makes it more stable and reliable.09-16-2010

20090070515PHY-LESS ULPI AND UTMI BRIDGES - Embodiments of the present invention provide a unique capability of implementing a pair of pseudo-PHY interfaces using a bridge. From the host and device perspectives, the host and device communicate through a PHY interface. The bridge, however, avoids actually using a USB PHY interface. This PHY-less bridge allows communication between a host and a device at high speeds without high-power transceivers associated with a USB PHY interface. In accordance with the present invention, a host and a device may be coupled together using a PHY-less bridge using the same interface or translating between different interfaces by using a wrapper. Such PHY-less bridges include a UTMI-to-UTMI bridge, a UTMI-to-ULPI bridge, a ULPI-to-UTMI bridge and a ULPI-to-ULPI bridge, each avoiding the need for a USB PHY interface.03-12-2009

20090312967PRODUCING A PHASOR REPRESENTATION OF AN ELECTRICAL ENTITY IN A MULTIPHASE AC ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM - A phasor representation of an electrical entity at a geographical location in a multiple phase AC electric power system is produced by receiving a synchronization signal from a remote source, producing a sampling time signal in response to the synchronization signal and a local reference time signal, and producing samples representing an amount of the entity in respective ones of the phases in the AC power system in response to the sampling time signal and the electrical entity in respective ones of the phases in the AC power system. A transformation is performed on the samples to produce a two-axis rotating reference frame representation of the electrical entity in a two-axis rotating reference frame. For each sample, a representation of a sampling time associated with the sample is produced. The two-axis rotating reference frame representation and the representation of the sampling time comprise the phasor representation.12-17-2009
