Margolin October 10, 2017 Flame Sensing System |
|
Abstract This invention relates to the
field of sensing flames in equipment using a combustion burner such as gas
furnaces by using the electrical properties of flames. In a first group of
embodiments flame rectification is used to cause distortion of a signal
having a selected waveform. A harmonic of the distorted waveform is detected
thereby providing flame proof. In a second group of embodiments flame
rectification is used as a mixer to cause two signals having selected
waveforms to produce sum and difference signals. The sum and/or difference
signals are detected thereby providing flame proof. |

Margolin April 18, 2017 System to Provide a Backchannel to an HVAC Thermostat |
|
Abstract In an HVAC system Polarity
Splitting is used to provide for one or more backchannels from the furnace to
the thermostat. Polarity Splitting is also used to allow a four-wire house
cable to provide for three thermostat functions as well as furnace power to
the thermostat while also providing for one or more backchannels. A serial datalink can be used to provide for a number of
thermostat functions and a number of backchannels as well as to provide
furnace power to the thermostat while using only three wires between the
furnace and the thermostat. A Wi-Fi enabled furnace adapter can allow the use
of a Wi-Fi thermostat while supplying only furnace power (two wires) to the
thermostat. A Wi-Fi enabled furnace can use only a remote temperature sensor
instead of a remote thermostat. |

Margolin October 11, 2016 ADS-B Radar |
|
Abstract The reliability and safety of
Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) are improved by using the signals
transmitted from an ADS-B unit as a radar transmitter with a receiver used to
receive reflections. |

Margolin September 16, 2014 System and method for safely flying unmanned aerial vehicles in civilian airspace |
|
Abstract A system and method for
safely flying an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), unmanned combat aerial
vehicle (UCAV), or remotely piloted vehicle (RPV) in civilian airspace uses a
remotely located pilot to control the aircraft using a synthetic vision
system during at least selected phases of the flight such as during take-offs
and landings |

United States Patent 8,643,534 Margolin February 4, 2014 System and Method For Sensing Aircraft and Other Objects |
|
Abstract A system for sensing aircraft
and other objects uses bistatic radar with
spread-spectrum signals transmitted from remotely located sources such as
aircraft flying at very high altitudes or from a satellite constellation. A bistatic spread spectrum radar system using a satellite
constellation can be integrated with a communications system and/or with a
system using long baseline radar interferometry to
validate the digital terrain elevation database. The reliability and safety
of TCAS and ADS-B are improved by using the signals transmitted from a TCAS
or ADS-B unit as a radar transmitter with a receiver used to receive
reflections. Aircraft and other objects using spread spectrum radar are detected
by using two separate receiving systems. Cross-Correlation between the
outputs of the two receiving systems reveals whether a noise signal is
produced by the receiving systems themselves or is coming from the outside. |
