| KVH Industries has been awarded a patent for a technological
breakthrough that enables the company to produce highly accurate,
attitude, heading, and reference -grade fiber optic gyros (FOGs)
U.S. Patent #6,429,939, "DSP Signal Processing for Open Loop
Fiber Optic Sensors," addresses KVH's method of using the power
of modern digital electronics to improve the performance of the
company's FOGs and make them suitable for a wide range of new applications
ranging from precision-guided munitions to tactical navigation systems.
"Our DSP gyro and patents have clearly established KVH Industries
as a technology leader and, potentially, a market leader in years
to come," remarked Kalyan Ganesan, vice president of engineering.
"Digital signal processing enables us to achieve new levels
of performance at costs significantly lower than competing ring
laser and closed-loop gyros. By incorporating DSP technology into
our FOGs, we can offer affordable, high- performance gyros to
a wide variety of industries."
