High Site Remote VHF System - This
powerful, cost effective VHF High Site system allows communication
through a remote antennae site. It is very user friendly and can be
installed using basic telephone lines without special hookups or through
a wireless repeater system. The Repeater system will allow users freedom
of mobility. No more do you have to sit by the radio and wait for calls!
With this system you simply carry a small hand held UHF radio. All of
the marine traffic is routed by the system to the hand held. It is just
like having a long range wireless microphone. You can even answer calls
while working on your boat or shopping. That's right you can now have a
life once more and still answer your marine VHF calls..
High Site Radios - Our “World Class”
Emergency Triangulation system has produced an offspring called the
Seawave 16. The Seawave 16 is a high site controller and remote unit
that interfaces with a two-way radio, allowing remote control of that
radio over standard POTS lines. What this means in English, is that you
can put a two way radio on top of a high building or tower and link to
it via the internet or a standard telephone line controlling it from
your home or office. This system can also be linked together via a FM
repeater system. PURPOSE: This system links a control station to
the actual transmitter site. In some locations, it would be impossible
to install a large antenna structure for your transmitter. This system
would allow the customer to link them together by phone lines giving on
the ability to place the transmitting system in a location more
suitable.

Our "World Class" Emergency Triangulation System (ETS) is the
world's first integrated marine search & rescue system. Whenever any
boater transmits on VHF channel 16, the ETS system displays the
origin of that transmission on an electronic chart of the area. Once
the system has located the origin, the system allows two-way
communications. It can also identify distress language using voice
recognition, e.g. "Mayday," "Help" and automatically alert ETS
operators.
(click here for ABC News video clip)
It is the only commercially available search and rescue system that
substantially complies with criteria set forth in the U.S. Coast
Guard’s National Distress and Response System Modernization Project
(NDRSMP) multi-billion dollar contract offering.
See ED2's compliance specifications document.
Interrupt Modulation Technology (IM) (Patented) -
This patented protocol addresses the world's limited bandwidth problem
and fixes it by creating a narrower band spread spectrum technology. IM
is much more efficient at utilizing radio frequency (RF) spectrum,
transferring digital information at data transfer rates currently to
100Mbps. This major improvement over existing protocols is essential
given the ever-increasing development of new information applications,
demanding more and more bandwidth.
Pulse DSP (Patent Pending)
- Harry Romano has conceived and is
developing an ASIC-like chip (We call this new chip a "Pulse DSP" or
"PDSP" chip) that will utilize Mr. Romano’s revolutionary patented IM
technology to provide extremely stable, high speed, wireless data
transfer rates and video transmissions. Within the PDSP chip is a
built-in TCP/IP and Ethernet interface allowing direct connectivity to
existing networks. A MPEG 4 encoder/decoder is under development and
will be embedded into the PDSP chip.

Smart Transceiver Module – Wireless transmitting/receiving
module that can be configured to work in several different modes. First
mode (peer to peer), Second mode (peer to repeater), Third mode (peer to
repeater to peer), and Fourth mode (network mode). In the past
technicians would spend valuable time manually programming in ID codes
via dip-switches. This archaic practice is now obsolete and
Harry Romano’s Smart Transceiver
Module will save your company substantial technician hours by
eliminating the setting of dips. When the Smart Transceiver Module
is first powered up, it creates and memorize a 24 bit, personal ID
for that particular module .If it is necessary to change a module’s
code, you would just simply ground the code trace in the battery
compartment and “presto” the unit now has a new ID number. This module
is user friendly and incorporates a powerful micro-controller, which has
plenty of code room for any customer’s applications or projects. In
fact, if you take a smart transmitter module and couple it with a
domino, stamp or PIC stick, your project is HALF DONE and wireless! It
is necessary only to feed RS-232 data to the input pin, The smart module
takes the data and transmits it to another smart module, repeater, or
Neptune Network™. The smart module handles all data correction and
resends to assure your data is received exactly the way it was
transmitted without any intervention. The smart module utilizes
Harry Romano’s Interrupt Modulation™
and Pulse DSP™ demodulation. The only thing necessary to run this
module is a 3V or 5V supply and an antenna! This is an easy remote fix
for even an amateur. Send data to it and receive data from it and you
are now wireless. Various applications for this module are as follows:
1.
Easily makes any project wireless
2.
Remote Control
3. Data

Water Detection System (and
Voice Communications) - This commercial flood detection system
is a wireless
system
that employs computer monitoring and wireless water sensor units. The
system detects water leaks using our Smart Sensor Modules. It is
specifically designed for use in commercial high-rise buildings that are
constructed of steel and concrete. Upon detection of a water leak, the
system will first shut off the water that is supplying the leak. The
system then sends a signal to maintenance describing the location of the
leak. The system specifically addresses and solves the main problems
that are inherit to first generation battery operated wireless systems.
The most common problem with “first generation” battery operated
wireless systems is the batteries. Harry Romano has developed a
technique to self-monitor the batteries. The next common problem is
maintaining the batteries. If any part of the system if found to be
inoperative during the self-detection process, maintenance is
automatically paged and given an exact location of the problem. This
system is the first of its kind employing full supervisory reporting.
The Neptune Wireless Network is an integral part of this system.
FIRMWARE
1. IM Generator- Code that generates Interrupt
Modulation in a micro controller or high speed DSP. Simply pass a byte
to the program and it will be converted to FSK and sent out to a port
pin. An error correction subroutine is also available for this.
- IM Decoder-
This is the Pulse DSP. (PDSP™) The PDSP™ is firmware, which
decodes the Interrupt Modulated signal. In standard decoding
normally a packet needs to be fully received by the program and then
it is looked at by another program and the CRC’s are looked at by
another program to see if the CRC’s are good. Using the
revolutionary PDSP™, error correction is performed at bit level
while it is being received. If the PDSP™ detects an error, it will
return an error code immediately to the program and let the program
know that it needs to issue a re-send. No need to wait until entire
packet is fully received to detect that there has been an error in
transmission. This technique increases wireless transmission speeds
up to 50% or more. If there are no errors, it returns the decoded
byte to the program. This code performs a DSP algorithm on the
incoming signal. In some cases it can perform a 10x over sampling
on each bit.
- FSK
Character Generator- Code that generates FSK modulation in a
micro controller or high speed DSP. Simply pass a byte to the
program and it will be converted to FSK and sent out to a port pin.
- FSK Decoder-
Program that decodes FSK that was sent and turns FSK back into a byte.
- Sub Audible Tone
Detector & Switch (CTCSS)- This firmware allows a pin on the
micro controller to be used to detect sub audible tones in a FM radio
receiver system. It can receive tones from 66hz to 250hz or higher.
After a tone is detected, it averages the tone then can perform a switch
function if the tone of interest is detected. This code can also detect
multiple sub tones and issue different commands for each tone of
interest.
- FM Discriminator
Software- This firmware actually is the beginning of an SDR
Software Defined Radio. Using this software, you can feed an FM
modulated signal into one of the processor pins and this program will
discriminate it into the original information acting as an FM
discriminator. Utilizing this code, you can feed the intermediate
frequency of a receiver directly into this software via an interface and
it will decode it. No more complicated discriminator circuits. This is
all now a software function. This code will output the proper strings to
be fed directly into a D to A converter for audio reception or fed to
another algorithm for data reception. This program should be used in an
extremely fast micro controller, and preferably 16 bit or higher.
- ADC Serial Input-
This firmware was designed to allow the user to interface a serial A to
D converter to you micro controller. It performs the necessary timing
and input/output tasks associated with serial A to D converters.
Additionally, it also sets up a buffer and return structure for the ADC
byte received.
- Serial
In/Parallel Out- This firmware was written to input a serial A
to D then output the code to a parallel D to A. It has functionality
that allows the user to manipulate the data as it passes through the
micro controller then manipulate the output data.
- Digital Filter-
This code will allow the user to filter out and identify a specific
frequency that is applied to a processor while mixed with unwanted
frequencies.
- High Speed Pulse
Detector- This term encompasses both hardware and software. The
hardware is a simple comparator, which is set up as a level comparator.
The output of the comparator is fed to a micro controller. The micro
controller in turn, accepts the information then makes a pin go high
which is connected to an LED. Basically, If a pulse is suspected in
your circuitry but really should not be there, such as on a battery line
or MCLR line, this device can be attached to that wire and will prove
that the pulse is either there or not there.
- Touchtone
Generator- This program generates touch tones out of one pin of
a micro controller.
- Touchtone
Detector- This program detects touchtone through a 8870 chip.
- Repeater
Controller- This code was designed to control a transmitter and
receiver and various other circuitry creating a repeater system.
- Microprocessor
Controlled Power Supply- This firmware is used in a combination
of hardware and software and becomes the instrument that regulates the
DC output of the power supply. It can regulate up to six DC outputs
using our specialized hardware. This code uses pulse position
modulation and pulse width modulation to perform its tasks.
- Frequency
Counter- This program allows your micro controller to become a
frequency counter.
- Blinking Lights-
This program shows the user how to make blinking lights on a micro
controller.
- RS232 In/Out-
Assembly code which generates RS232 and decodes RS232 in a micro
controller.
- Spectrum
Analyzer Code- Hardware and software which when combined
produces a spectrum analyzer effect utilizing an FFT transform.
- Personal Radar
Code- This code performs the necessary pulses and timing for the
transmit and receive in a radar. It is interfaced with either RF
hardware or infrared hardware and can be used for ranging or object
detection.
- Stereo Encode
Timer- This code produces a 38khz multiplex signal which is used
to control hardware in the creation of a stereo FM multiplexed signal
just like your local FM radio station.
- Ramp Generator
Code- This algorithm simply produces a serial or parallel output
to feed into an D to A converter to produce a ramp waveform.
- Pulse Width
Detector- This code is used to determine the pulse width of a
bit. It can be used for the demodulation for pulse width modulation.
It can be used with the detection of a pulse event or any other reason
requiring the measurement of a pulse.
- 3/18 Pulse
Decoder Software- This software was developed to decode HOLTEK 3
to the power of 18 encoders instead of purchasing a decoder chip. This
code does the decoding in you micro controller. This code is used in
many different types of security systems and remote control systems,
smoke and fire systems. Additionally, we have code that allows the user
to pick out specific bytes of information from this code.
- Variable Length
Packet Routine (VLP)- This is a proprietary routine which has
been scaled down by Harry Romano and
used in its wireless transmission of data in the VDA unit. This code
was developed to easily encode packets with various types of information
such as video, data and audio or simply commands. Since data comes in
different lengths, it is inefficient to use packets that are of equal
length all the time. Sometimes you have much data to send, sometime you
have little data to send. The VLP adjusts to the size of the data that
you need to send making packet transfer much more efficient.
- Byte Averaging
Routine- This routine accepts a variable number of bytes and
averages the value of those bytes. This routine is valuable when it is
necessary when it average the value of incoming data.
- Get Byte and
Compare to Memory- This routine takes in a byte of data and
compares it with data stored in memory. If the data is the same, it
will trigger a response. This software is used in detecting various ID
codes in our smart transmitter module
- Buffer
Management Algorithm - Harry
Romano has various types of buffer management routines used
for manipulating data
- Find Min & Max.
Number- This algorithm will take in various databytes and
determine the numerical high range and low range of the data
- Find Average-
This algorithm will take in bytes and return the average of the data.
- Preamble Code-
This is a code used to signal a receiver and tell it that data will soon
be coming.
- Random ID Code-
This code will return a random numerical value when called. It is used
in our smart transceiver modules to set up serial numbers and ID’s for a
particular module.
- State Machine-
Code which takes specific commands and configures processor to perform
specific tasks.
- Software Time
Clock - This clock implements a timer in software which is
capable of issuing timing events from microseconds to infinity.
SOFTWARE
- Marketing CD
Harry Romano has developed software for your computer which
allows you to make and burn a marketing CD for your company. It allows
you to include videos, text, pictures and audio about your company. All
information is then structured automatically and placed in a directory.
Simply burn the directory to a CD and you now have a master CD which you
can then get mass produced and use as advertising materials to increase
sales. It can also be used for private placements, technical material,
product instructions and much more.
