Systems And Methods For Lattice Reduction

View page
US Patent:
20120159122, Jun 21, 2012
Filed:
Nov 10, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/943824
Inventors:
David V. Anderson - Alpharetta GA, US
Brian Gestner - Atlanta GA, US
Xiaoli Ma - Norcross GA, US
Wei Zhang - Santa Clara CA, US
Assignee:
Georgia Tech Research Corporation - Atlanta GA
International Classification:
H04B 7/02
G06F 15/76
US Classification:
712 31, 375267, 712E09002
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are lattice reduction systems and methods for a MIMO communication system. One such method includes providing a channel matrix corresponding to a channel in a MIMO communication system, preprocessing the channel matrix to form at least an upper triangular matrix, implementing a relaxed size reduction process, and implementing a basis update process. Implementing the relaxed size reduction process comprises choosing a first relaxed size reduction parameter for a first-off-diagonal element of the upper triangular matrix, choosing a second relaxed size reduction parameter, which is greater than the first relaxed size reduction parameter, for a second-off-diagonal element of the upper triangular matrix evaluating whether a first relaxed size reduction condition is satisfied for the first-off-diagonal element of the upper triangular matrix, and evaluating whether a second relaxed size reduction condition is satisfied for the second-off-diagonal element of the upper triangular matrix.

US Patent:
20120263261, Oct 18, 2012
Filed:
Dec 14, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/325242
Inventors:
Brian Gestner - Dublin CA, US
David Verl Anderson - Alpharetta GA, US
Xiaoli Ma - Norcross GA, US
Assignee:
Georgia Tech Research Corporation - Atlanta GA
International Classification:
H04L 27/00
US Classification:
375341
Abstract:
An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides an incremental lattice reduction method comprising: receiving an input signal at a plurality of input terminals; evaluating a reliability assessment condition using a primary symbol vector estimate of at least a portion of the input signal; terminating the incremental lattice reduction method if the reliability assessment condition is satisfied; and if the reliability assessment condition is not satisfied, performing at least one iteration of a lattice reduction detection sub-method to obtain a secondary symbol vector estimate.

Method And System For Fluid Flow Rate Measurement

View page
US Patent:
20200363246, Nov 19, 2020
Filed:
Jul 31, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/945684
Inventors:
- Atlanta GA, US
Brian Gestner - Atlanta GA, US
Assignee:
Reliance Worldwide Corporation - Atlanta GA
International Classification:
G01F 1/66
Abstract:
A fluid flow meter system for monitoring fluid flow through a lumen includes a first ultrasonic transducer configured to transmit one or more versions of a transmit (TX) signal through a fluid flowing within the lumen, and a second ultrasonic transducer configured to receive one or more respective receive (RX) signals. The fluid flow meter system includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) configured to sample, at a first frequency, the one or more RX ultrasonic signals and a processor configured to generate a fine resolution signal based on the one or more RX ultrasonic signals. The fine resolution signal is associated with a second sampling rate higher than the first sampling rate. The processor is also configured to compute a cross-correlation signal indicative of cross-correlation between the fine resolution signal and a waveform and determine an estimated fluid flow parameter based on the computed cross-correlation signal.

US Patent:
20200355529, Nov 12, 2020
Filed:
Jul 29, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/942735
Inventors:
- Atlanta GA, US
Matthew Shane Smith - Wooster OH, US
Francis M. Mess - Smyrna GA, US
Samuel Elia - Atlanta GA, US
Jorge C. Almirall - Acworth GA, US
Brian Gestner - Atlanta GA, US
Assignee:
c/o Reliance Worldwide Corporation - Atlanta GA
International Classification:
G01F 1/66
Abstract:
A fluid manifold is capable of channeling and monitoring fluid flow within a fluid distribution system. The manifold includes one or more input lumens. Each input lumen associated with a respective inlet port. The manifold also includes a plurality of output lumens such that each output lumen is associated with a respective outlet port and at least one input lumen is coupled to two or more output lumens. The manifold also includes one or more flow sensors capable of measuring fluid flow parameters of fluid flowing through at least one of the one or more input lumens and the plurality of output lumens. In some implementations, a flow sensor can be mounted to each output lumen of the manifold.

Systems And Methods For Fluid Leak Detection

View page
US Patent:
20200264068, Aug 20, 2020
Filed:
Feb 17, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/792767
Inventors:
- Atlanta GA, US
Ian Kent - Atlanta GA, US
Alex Neal Rycroft - Atlanta GA, US
Jorge Carlos Almirall - Atlanta GA, US
Brian Gestner - Atlanta GA, US
Assignee:
Reliance Worldwide Corporation - Atlanta GA
International Classification:
G01M 3/28
G05B 19/042
Abstract:
According to at least one aspect, the present disclosure is directed to leak detection. There is pressure sensor for measuring pressure of fluid within a hollow structure, a shut-off valve for controlling fluid flow through the hollow structure, and a processor communicatively coupled to the pressure sensor and to the shut-off valve. The processor can acquire, from the pressure sensor, a first pressure measurement of the fluid while the shut-off valve is in an open state, and a second pressure measurement of the fluid while the shut-off valve is in a closed state. The processor can detect a fluid leak event based on the first and second pressure measurements.

Abstract:
According to at least one aspect, a fluid flow monitoring system includes an ultrasonic sensor for generating measurement signals associated with respective ultrasonic signals propagating through the fluid in the lumen, a shut-off valve for blocking fluid flow in the lumen, and a controller. The controller can be communicatively coupled to the ultrasonic sensor and to the shut-off valve. The controller can be configured to compute a plurality of fluid flow parameter estimates based on a plurality of measurement signals generated by the ultrasonic sensor over a time window while the shut-off valve is open. The controller can obtain an offset value associated with fluid flow parameter measurements during a zero flow state of the shut-off valve. The controller can then check for presence of a fluid leak event based on the fluid flow parameter estimates over the time window and the offset value.
