    Abstract: The pre-limited IF signal from an FM receiver is coupled to a pair of linear amplifiers in a cascade configuration. The outputs from the amplifiers are detected and passed to piecewise linear amplifiers. Each piecewise linear amplifier is designed to exhibit a gain characteristic which is dependent on the level of signals applied at its input. A summing circuit sums the piecewise linear amplified signals in predetermined proportion to thereby produce a DC signal which is linearly related to the receiver's quieting level.

    Abstract: A plurality of horizontally directive antenna sectors are arranged in a configuration to receive signals from remote transmitters over a given angle in the horizontal plane. A scanning system is operative in one of several modes to sequentially couple each sector to a receiver. In its first mode, each sector is sequentially scanned with the peak signal level therefrom being compared to a reference level. If the signal level on any sector exceeds the reference level the scanner activates to its second mode wherein scanning of all sectors continues for a predetermined interval after which the system advances to a selective scanning mode wherein scan is limited to that sector with the largest stored signal level relative to the reference level, and to those sectors adjacent said sector for a predetermined time interval. At the end of this interval, scanning is inhibited and the receiver is coupled to that sector which exhibited the strongest relative signal level during the scanning sequences. In this listen mode, if the signal level from the sector falls to a minimum level or a coded squelch is undetected for a given period, the system reverts to the first scanning mode.The system periodically updates the reference levels to account for changes in background noise or the presence of an interfering signal.

    Abstract: This invention claims a novel software application that facilitates streaming and mixing audio and/or video with nearly zero latency, using a computer having Windows or Linux operating systems.Typical computer operating systems are not structured sufficiently to transmit or receive audio and/or video data in a real time. Alternatively, Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) and Field Programmable Arrays (FPGAs} are used to transmit and receive audio and/or video data via the network. This requires extra hardware, space and cost.The attributes of this invention are significant contributions to successful products in modern markets.

    Abstract: A current-drive circuit (FIG. 1) is provided to drive each of forty electrodes 41. Voltage at the electrodes 41 is monitored on line 49 as a control-input to a voltage-regulator circuit (FIG. 2), to produce the drive voltage Vdr. Vdr minus a current-level reference Vlev is applied as the input of a differential amplifier (transistors 3, 15, 51 and 53), thereby applying Vdr-Vlev on line 27. A constant current through the electrode 41 is produced across register 25. As the lowest voltage at all driven electrodes shifts, the regulator circuit (FIG. 2) shifts Vdr the same amount, employing differentially connected transistors 72 and 74, and Zener 120 to set the level of Vdr. Since most of the active elements operated within narrow limits, the circuit can be extensively miniaturized.
