Thomas E. Lawson and William H. Morong

Between the two inventors, there are 12 issued patents and 9 patents pending.

Lawson holds one patent and four joint patents. One of the joint patents, dated 1976, is shared with Morong. That, and the other 1976 patent cover a galvanic cell for measuring oxygen and the electronics to put it to use. These two patents protected an instrument that was manufactured for over ten years. Some of these oxygen analyzer instruments are still in use, and replacement galvanic cells were still being manufactured 30 years later. The third patent is for a golf swing analyzer. The product based on that patent has won several awards and propelled a startup, SVT, to a position as Technology Partner for the PGA.

Lawson has six applications pending, three of them not yet published. They are all shared with Morong and five cover CogniPower technology relating to switched power. The other covers a wireless equine respiration monitoring system for monitoring horses while they run.

Morong holds ten issued patents. Two are jointly held with Lawson. Five of the others are assigned to Analog Devices. Three are for isolation amplifiers. These devices are galvanically coupled and are related to the recent power converter work. The AD289 isolated amplifier was the most successful product that resulted. The IP for the AD289 was eventually transferred to Intronics when Analog Devices left the module business. As of early 2009, these modules are still being manufactured, over 25 years later. Two patents were for turns counters used for the manufacture of wound inductors. The last Analog Devices patent covers a method for manufacturing the miniature transformers which were used in the AD293 isolator, another commercial success. The last of this group of patents is assigned to National Semiconductor, and covers an improved way to process signals in high-speed heads used for integrated circuit testing. Over 50 subsequent patents cite that patent as the seminal work in the area.
