Wireless Synchronous Time System With Solar Powered Transceiver

View page
US Patent:
7369462, May 6, 2008
Filed:
Sep 27, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/236439
Inventors:
Mark A. Abbott - Delavan WI, US
Darrel L. Thompson - Algonquin IL, US
Derek J. Brykowski - Cary IL, US
Terrence J. O'Neill - Lake Geneva WI, US
James F. Stoffer - Delafield WI, US
Assignee:
Quartex, Division of Primex, Inc. - Lake Geneva WI
International Classification:
G04B 47/06
G04B 19/22
G04C 11/00
US Classification:
368 47, 368 11, 368 46
Abstract:
A primary device for a synchronous event system. In one construction, the primary device includes a solar panel operable to convert light into electricity; a receiver operable to receive a global positioning system time signal; a processor coupled to the receiver and operable to process the global positioning system time signal to produce a processed time component; a internal clock coupled to the processor and operable to store the processed time component and to increment relative to the processed time component thereafter to produce an internal time; and a transmitter coupled to the processor and operable to transmit the internal time to a secondary device for wireless reception by the secondary device and synchronization of the secondary device relative to the primary device.

System And Method Of Increasing Battery Life Of A Timekeeping Device

US Patent:
8369186, Feb 5, 2013
Filed:
Jan 11, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/685451
Inventors:
Derek J. Brykowski - Crystal Lake IL, US
Terrence J. O'Neill - Lake Geneva WI, US
Vince Guarna - Mundelein IL, US
John Hill - Lake Villa IL, US
Assignee:
Primex Wireless, Inc. - Lake Geneva WI
International Classification:
G04C 11/00
US Classification:
368 46, 368 47
Abstract:
Methods and systems of extending battery life of remote battery-operated timekeeping devices by minimizing the number of required synchronizations per unit of time needed to maintain a predetermined accuracy of the devices. The number of synchronizations are minimized by first calculating a time error rate between the remote timekeeping device and a master device over a sample period. Then, a synchronization is delayed and the remote timekeeping device is compensated based on the time error rate. The compensation delays the need for a synchronization yet maintains the predetermined accuracy of the remote timekeeping device. In some embodiments, the remote timekeeping device is compensated and multiple synchronizations are delayed before a new synchronization is necessary to maintain the predetermined accuracy.

Traceable Record Generation System And Method Using Wireless Networks

US Patent:
20080089313, Apr 17, 2008
Filed:
Oct 11, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/870932
Inventors:
Jerald M. Cayo - Belvidere IL, US
Derek J. Brykowski - Cary IL, US
Terrence J. O'Neill - Lake Geneva WI, US
International Classification:
H04J 3/00
US Classification:
370345
Abstract:
A data center in communication with a plurality of remote wireless clocks of a network comprises a server in communication with the network. The server is operable to send time information and non-time information through the network to a remote wireless clock among the remote wireless clocks. The server is also operable to receive status information through the network from the remote wireless clock, generate a traceable record based on the received status information, store the traceable record in a database, and host a software application for remote access by a user. The software application is operable to provide a plurality of functions associated with the remote wireless clock. The server is further operable to selectively output at least one of the time information, the non-time information, and the traceable record.
