US Patent:

8344539, Jan 1, 2013

Filed:

Jun 21, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/803178

Inventors:

Gregory C. Wilson - Dunedin FL, US

International Classification:

F03D 3/00

US Classification:

290 55

Abstract:

A drive shaft is supported at first and second ends with bearings for rotational reciprocation. A sail has a fixed portion and a reciprocable portion. An inextensible cord couples the reciprocable portion of the sail to the drive shaft adjacent to the first end whereby wind contacting the sail will reciprocate the reciprocable portion of the sail to pull the inextensible cord and rotate the drive shaft. A generator is rotatably coupled to the drive shaft adjacent to the second end for creating electrical energy in response to the reciprocation of the sail from the action of the wind.

International Classification:

H03G 320
H04B 104

US Classification:

455115

Abstract:

A transmitter (604) of a TDMA cellular telephone (600) includes power control circuitry (100) comprised of variable gain stage (104), mixer (106), bandpass filter (109), RF amplifier (110), and directional coupler (112) in a forward path, and two detectors (116 and 117), four A/D converters (118, 119, 121 and 123), digital controller (120), and D/A converter (126) in a feedback path. In operation, the variable gain stage (104) is responsive to a gain control signal AOCCNT (128) for adjusting a modulated IF signal, which is then mixed in mixer (106) with an RF reference signal to produce the transmit RF signal. The temperature and supply voltage are sampled by controller (120) at the beginning of each time slot. Adjustments in the gain control signal (128) dictated by the sampled temperature and supply voltage are made by controller (120) in each time slot prior to keying the RF amplifier (110). The transmit RF signal is amplified by the RF amplifier (110) to produce the transmit output signal which is coupled by the directional coupler (112) and transmit filter (618) to an antenna (620) for transmission.

Filed:

Jan 27, 1989

Appl. No.:

7/303214

Inventors:

Gregory P. Wilson - Lake Zurich IL
Bryan A. Potratz - Palatine IL
Thomas J. Walczak - Woodstock IL
Jeffery L. Mullins - Palatine IL

Assignee:

Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL

International Classification:

H04B 138
H04L 516

US Classification:

375 7

Abstract:

A multiplexed synchronous/asynchronous data bus is disclosed in which three bus lines are used to convey bidirectional synchronous data between at least two data devices at a relatively low data rate. Half duplex asynchronous data is applied at a higher data transfer rate to one of the three bus lines when another of the bus lines is held in a logic high state.

International Classification:

H04K 104
H04L 904

US Classification:

380 38

Abstract:

An analog frequency inversion scrambler employing an exchange of random number seeds between an originating scrambler and an answering scrambler to create two pseudo-random frequency hopping rolling codes has been disclosed. The rolling code used in one direction of a duplex channel is different than the rolling code in the opposite direction and each code is synchronized by periodic synchronization signals.

International Classification:

H04J 302

US Classification:

370 8511

Abstract:

A multiplexed synchronous/asynchronous data bus is disclosed in which three bus lines are used to convey bidirectional synchronous data between at least two data devices at a relatively low data rate. Valid half duplex asynchronous data is applied at a higher data transfer rate to one of the three bus lines when only one of the bus lines is held in a logic high state.
