Latest Patents

Eason is credited with 1 patent, titled “Automatic Pulse Display.” The invention uses an internal controller to increase an oscilloscope’s time-sweep speed through a series of settings, expanding a signal cycle until less than one cycle remains within the sweep. Dual trigger generators respond to opposite slopes of the pulse. When both generators trigger, the system identifies a pulse that meets the specified duty-factor condition and displays it in expanded form. The sweep duration can also be adjusted to match the duty factor after the signal-cycle period is determined.
