Sparton Corporation (NYSE:SPA) today announced the issuance of two
patents to the Company by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
One for an invention that protects electronic circuits from
electromagnetic fields and one for the invention of a high efficiency
power amplifier.
Patent number 10,070,547 is an invention that protects electronic
circuits and devices from radiated electromagnetic fields by using
nickel phosphorus or nickel chromium material embedded within the layers
of a printed circuit board to function as a filter. Tests on Sparton
sonobuoys to meet Navy Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance (HERO)
standards have demonstrated an ability to significantly reduce
electronic circuit and device vulnerability.
Patent number 10,090,771 is an invention that improves switching mode
power amplifiers. The improved design eliminates undesirable effects of
finite transition time, provides higher efficiency, and is scalable. The
amplifier also provides other performance advantages relative to
conventional switching mode power amplifier designs. This invention made
it possible to significantly improve the Navy’s AN/SSQ-125 sonobuoy.
“Sparton has an extensive and growing library of patents across a range
of technologies,” said Jim Lackemacher, Group Vice President of the
Engineered Components and Products Segment. “These two patents are
important additions to that library as we move forward in a marketplace
that is dynamic and increasingly more competitive. Sparton’s growing
technological expertise allows us to provide the most innovative
products to our customers.”
