Timing Control Circuit

View page
US Patent:
6686781, Feb 3, 2004
Filed:
Apr 12, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/121796
Inventors:
Richard A. Kominsky - Westfield MA
Assignee:
ITT Manufacturing Enterprises, Inc. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
H03K 302
US Classification:
327141, 327142, 327198
Abstract:
A timing circuit having a controllable current source and a capacitor coupled to the current source. A resistor and a second capacitor are connected in series. The series resistor and second capacitor are connected in parallel with the capacitor. A trigger circuit has a first terminal coupled to the capacitor. The trigger circuit changes states when a voltage at the first terminal exceeds a reference voltage.

Method And System For Spread Spectrum Gating

View page
US Patent:
7109467, Sep 19, 2006
Filed:
Jan 26, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/765657
Inventors:
Richard Allen Kominsky - Westfield MA, US
Jerry Raymond Long - Huntington MA, US
James Hoge Bowen - Salem VA, US
Assignee:
ITT Manufacturing Enterprises, Inc. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
H01J 31/50
H01J 43/30
US Classification:
250214VT, 250207, 313532
Abstract:
A gating module for gating an image intensifier tube. The gating module includes a frequency generator generating a base signal having a base frequency. A modulator spread-spectrum modulates the base frequency of the base signal to generate a modulated signal. A gating circuit coupled to the modulator generates a gating signal in response to the modulated signal.

Method And System For Cleaning A Fan Inlet

US Patent:
20120237363, Sep 20, 2012
Filed:
Mar 16, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/049410
Inventors:
Richard A. Kominsky - Westfield MA, US
Assignee:
ITT MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISES, INC. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
F04B 49/06
US Classification:
417 442, 417 441
Abstract:
A system includes a housing; a first fan having a first inlet and a second fan having a second inlet, the first fan and the second fan mounted in a wall of the housing, the first fan and the second fan oriented to draw air into the housing; a device in the housing, the device positioned to receive airflow from the first fan and the second fan; and a controller for controlling the first fan and the second fan, wherein the controller is configured to initiate a cleaning cycle during which the first fan is on and the second fan is off to cause backpressure airflow to flow through the second inlet in a reverse direction for a first time period and the first fan is off and the second fan is on to cause backpressure airflow to flow through the first inlet in a reverse direction for a second time period.

Active Rectifier For Vehicles

View page
US Patent:
20120262962, Oct 18, 2012
Filed:
Apr 12, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/084892
Inventors:
Richard A. Kominsky - Westfield MA, US
Assignee:
ITT MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISES, INC. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
H02M 7/06
US Classification:
363126
Abstract:
A vehicle power system including an unregulated alternator; a saturable reactor receiving an output AC voltage from the alternator and generating a reduced AC voltage in response to a bias signal; and an active rectifier rectifying the reduced AC voltage to a DC voltage.

System For Remotely Reading An Analog Meter

View page
US Patent:
50131540, May 7, 1991
Filed:
Oct 16, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/422133
Inventors:
Richard A. Kominsky - Westfield MA
Assignee:
K and M Electronics, Inc. - West Springfield MA
International Classification:
G01B 1114
H04N 718
US Classification:
356375
Abstract:
A system is disclosed for remotely reading out an analog meter having a movable pointer overlying and being mobile over a stationary scale. The pointer is characterized by a first optical reflectivity (R1), and the scale is characterized by a second optical reflectivity (R2). The system comprises an image generator and a detector. The image generator generates an image signal representative of the optical reflectivity of a composite image of the pointer overlying the scale. The detector processes the image signal to generate a pointer position signal representative of the relative position of the pointer with respect to the scale.

High Impedance System For Measuring Voltage

View page
US Patent:
51535106, Oct 6, 1992
Filed:
Mar 28, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/676855
Inventors:
Richard A. Kominsky - Westfield MA
Assignee:
K and M Electronics, Inc. - West Springfield MA
International Classification:
G01R 3300
G01R 1900
US Classification:
324 99D
Abstract:
A high voltage measuring system with very high input impedance. The system measures a high voltage source under test by developing a control signal which is proportional to the differential voltage between the high voltage source being tested and an adjustable high voltage reference. This control signal is fed back into a controller which adjusts the reference source so as to match the reference source with the source under test. When the controller detects that matching has occurred, it measures the reference source. By measuring the reference source, as opposed to measuring the source under test directly, the system avoids loading down the source under test.

Variable Gain Image Intensifier

View page
US Patent:
61506508, Nov 21, 2000
Filed:
Jul 27, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/123371
Inventors:
James H. Bowen - Salem VA
Walter E. Blouch - Roanoke VA
Mark A. Bryant - Roanoke VA
Roger D. Whiddon - Roanoke VA
Richard A. Kominsky - Westfield MA
Ronald E. Champagne - Blanford MA
Assignee:
ITT Manufacturing Enterprises, Inc. - Wilmington DE
K and M Electronics, Inc. - West Springfield MA
International Classification:
G02B 2300
US Classification:
250214VT
Abstract:
A method for providing user adjustable variable gain for a night vision device which utilizes an image intensifier tube, wherein the image intensifier tube has a given life expectancy, the image intensifier tube is subjected to factory calibration for providing an optimum output during operation, wherein the calibration undesirably differs from tube to tube and is adjustable by variable control means coupled to the tube, whereby when one tube is substituted for another the difference in calibration causes non-optimum performance, the method including the steps of: determining minimum and maximum gain limits associated with the optimum output of the night vision device; factory calibrating gain limiting means according to the determined minimum and maximum gain limits, wherein the gain limiting means are associated with the image intensifier tube and for limiting the variable control means; and, tethering the gain limiting means to the image intensifier tube.
