Latest Patents

Parodi is named on one patent, 1 patent: “Voltage-current phase-based method for linear and rotary transformer systems, and associated systems and methods.” The invention describes a transformer system with an excitation coil, two sensing coils, and a movable core coupled to an object. Different impedance loads connected to the sensing coils produce distinct phase-shifting characteristics. A circuit measures the phase shift between the excitation coil input signal and the input sinusoidal signal, using that relationship to determine the core’s position and detect movement.

Career Highlights

Parodi’s disclosed invention applies phase-shift measurement to both linear and rotary transformer systems. The approach uses electrical signal characteristics to infer mechanical position, offering a method for sensing movement without relying solely on direct physical measurement.

Collaborations

The patent record identifies Blue Origin Manufacturing, LLC, as Parodi’s company affiliation. The available information does not specify additional collaborators or describe the company’s role in developing the invention.

Conclusion

Carlos G. Parodi’s patent focuses on using phase differences in transformer signals to detect movement and position, connecting electrical measurement with practical sensing applications.
