Latest Patents
One of Hord's latest patents is the "Coasting power supply for AC power system waveform measuring instrument." This invention provides a power supply for instruments that measure waveforms on AC power systems. Under normal conditions, the power supply draws energy from the signal being measured. However, when precise measurements are necessary, the instrument can temporarily disconnect from the signal and utilize energy stored in an energy storage means, allowing for accurate readings without interference.
Another notable patent is the "High-pass filter for enhancing the resolution of AC power line harmonic." This instrument employs a high-pass filter and an amplifier to minimize the number of bits required by an Analog-to-Digital Converter to determine the amplitude of harmonics in AC power system voltage or current waveforms. The device is designed to obtain time-domain representations of current and voltage, which are then converted to frequency-domain representations using a single-chip microprocessor.
