Abstract: In a second group of embodiments, an electronic device that provides a virtual Bluetooth gateway is described. During operation, the electronic device may receive a first packet associated with a second electronic device and that has an Internet Protocol (IP)-compatible format (such as a JavaScript Object Notation or JSON format). Then, the electronic device may de-encapsulate a second packet from the first packet, where the second packet is compatible with a Bluetooth communication protocol. Next, the electronic may provide the second packet. Note that the electronic device may not include a physical Bluetooth radio, such as dedicated hardware for a physical Bluetooth radio. Instead, the electronic device may include a virtual Bluetooth device that communicates with the second electronic device via the virtual Bluetooth gateway. This virtual Bluetooth device may have the capabilities of a physical Bluetooth radio (without the dedicated hardware).

Abstract: A same-aperture any-frequency simultaneously transmit and receive (STAR) system includes a signal connector having a first port electrically coupled to an antenna, a second port electrically coupled to a transmit signal path, and a third port electrically coupled to receive signal path. The signal connector passes a transmit signal in the transmit signal path to the antenna and a receive signal in the receive signal path. A signal isolator is positioned in the transmit signal path to remove a residual portion of the receive signal from transmit signal path. An output of the signal isolator provides a portion of the transmit signal with the residual portion of the receive signal removed. A signal differencing device having a first input electrically coupled to the output of the signal isolator and a second input electrically coupled to the third port of the signal connector subtracts a portion of the transmit signal in the receive signal path thereby providing a more accurate receive signal.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for image-based (e.g., MRI-based) spatial and temporal mapping of macrophages and other cell types, without the need for image contrast agents. These systems and methods are particularly useful for imaging macrophages because they naturally store metabolites, such as iron. Alternatively, the systems and methods described herein can be used where contrast agents are administered, rather than looking only at endogenous metabolite deposits.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for enabling flexible signal pathways within a satellite of a satellite communications system. For example, a pathway selection subsystem in a bent-pipe satellite enables a flexible arrangement of non-processed signal pathways that couple uplink antenna ports with downlink antenna ports via uplink and downlink pathway selectors. The pathway selectors can be dynamically reconfigured (e.g., on orbit), so that the configuration of the pathway selectors at one time can form one set of signal pathways between respective uplink and downlink antenna ports, and the configuration at another time can form a different set of signal pathways between respective uplink and downlink antenna ports. The pathway selection subsystem can have a simulcast mode which, when active, couples each of at least one of the uplink antenna ports with multiple of the user downlink antenna ports to form one or more simulcast signal pathways.
