Title: The Innovations of Marshall K. Quick
Introduction
Marshall K. Quick is a notable inventor based in Whitesboro, NY (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of technology, holding a total of 4 patents. His work primarily focuses on advancements in charge injection devices and spread spectrum communication systems.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Integration time control for a radiation sensitive charge injection." This invention introduces a novel readout circuit for a charge injection device, allowing for the selection of integration time to optimize performance. A primary application of this invention is in infrared sensing, where performance is critical at both low and high levels of radiation. The readout circuit utilizes a dump pulse that recurs at the interval required to scan all elements, in advance of the read pulse, which also recurs at the scanning interval. The integration time can be adjusted in multiples of the readout period for a single element, up to the frame scanning interval, or in approximate fractions of the readout period, or even in fractions of a microsecond.
Another significant patent is the "Spread spectrum signal estimator." This invention describes a PN sequence signal estimator that works synergistically with an adaptive array processor and a spread spectrum communication system modem. The adaptive array nulls interfering signals while preserving desired signals. The signal estimator generates an estimate of the desired coded signal using the local code and detected correlation in the modem, feeding the estimate back to the array to inhibit null formation.
