Latest Patents

**System for Detecting the Presence of a Pure Signal in a Discrete Noisy Signal.** This system evaluates a discrete signal measured against a constant average noise level. A processor measures a counting rate and calculates a false-detection probability using the counting rate and an estimated average noise level. It then compares that probability with a predetermined threshold, detecting a pure signal when the probability falls below the threshold.

**Circuit for the Real-Time Analysis of the Energy Distribution of Pulses.** This circuit uses an analog-to-digital converter to assign each pulse an amplitude code. A coding system, comprising a memory and a binary decoder, maps that code to an energy window and addresses one of a group of counters. The selected counter is incremented, enabling real-time analysis of pulse-energy distributions.

Career Highlights

Poussier’s listed patents address measurement and signal-processing challenges. One describes a statistical approach to identifying a pure signal in noisy data, while the other organizes pulse measurements into energy windows for real-time counting.
