US Patent:

49013190, Feb 13, 1990

Filed:

Mar 18, 1988

Appl. No.:

7/169699

Inventors:

Daniel P. Ross - Philadelphia PA

Assignee:

General Electric Company - King of Prussia PA

International Classification:

G06F 1110

US Classification:

371 45

Abstract:

A transmitter has an interleaver that sets an interleaving interval in accordance with the fading characteristic of a channel and transmits in another channel. The inteleaver duration is indicated by a synchronization signal and typically is 3 to 10 times the mean time between fades (decorrelation time). If the two channels substantially differ in frequency, a scaling factor can be used. A receiver has an adaptive deinterleaver that has a deinterleaving time in accordance with the synchronization signal occurring at the interleaving interval.

Appl. No.:

6/840220

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Fairfield CT

International Classification:

H03L 710

US Classification:

331 2

Abstract:

An adaptive carrier tracking circuit for receiving pulse code modulated communications which have passed through a scintillation environment is disclosed. The rate and magnitude of phase or frequency fluctuations of the input signal are detected and the bandwidth of a circuit filter is adjusted in response to an estimated decorrelation time to optimize the signal tracking and bit error rate for the circuit. The adaptive carrier tracking circuit may be applied to communication systems tracking circuits utilizing phase-locked loops or modified Costas loops for phase tracking, or automatic frequency control loops for frequency tracking.

Abstract:

A system for monitoring loading of equipment includes a transmitter assembly mounted to the equipment and a central server. The transmitter assembly has a strain gauge secured to the equipment, an on-board controller and a battery. The central server is in communication with the on-board controller. The central server is configured to receive collected loading data from the transmitter assembly. The on-board controller is configured to operate the transmitter assembly in a load monitoring power mode and a deep sleep mode. The on-board controller is configured to operate at a sleep interval when a load measured by the strain gauge is less than ten percent of a rated working load of the equipment and at an active interval when the load measured by the strain gauge is greater than ten percent of the rated working load. The sleep interval is less than the active interval.
