Title: Innovations of Fernando De La Vega
Introduction
Fernando De La Vega is an accomplished inventor based in Ridgefield Park, NJ (US). He holds three patents that showcase his expertise in developing advanced technologies aimed at enhancing safety and efficiency in aviation and battery management systems.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Methods and apparatus to assist pilots under conditions in which spatial disorientation may be present." This invention includes systems and methods designed to assist pilots of aircraft. The system features a near-eye display and a processing subsystem. The near-eye display consists of a transparent display panel that is positioned close to at least one eye of the pilot. The processing subsystem is designed to receive aircraft data indicating the aircraft's attitude and to determine if this data suggests a potential spatial disorientation situation. When such a situation is detected, the processing system prompts the near-eye display to show an exterior display indicator that overlays part of the aircraft's windshield. This indicator provides a visual representation of an earth-based reference, helping the pilot understand the aircraft's attitude.
Another significant patent is the "Low cost current and temperature sensor." This invention involves a battery health or prognosis system that utilizes a ferrite disc embedded in a printed wiring board (PWB) to perform both battery current and temperature sensing roles. The ferrite disc is surrounded by a coil made of surface conductors and electrically conductive vias of the PWB. The system generates observable hysteresis loops in the ferrite disc, which are then compared to a temperature-dependent family of hysteresis loops for the magnetic material of the ferrite disc. A processor mounted on the PWB collects and processes outputs from a Hall-effect sensor to develop both temperature and battery current information, ultimately producing a prognosis for the battery.
