Patents by Inventor Christos Zabounidis

Christos Zabounidis has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Signal processing system and method for use in multibeam sensing systems
    Patent number: 5663930
    Abstract: The present invention is a system and technique for reducing the effective beam width of a receive beam for a sensing system, for example a sonar or radar system. The sensing system includes a plurality of physical sensors each for measuring a receive signal wherein each receive signal includes a first and second data processing unit. The sensing system may include means for computing sensor data for at least one extrapolated-sensor, including, first extrapolation means for computing a first extrapolated-sensor data unit of the at least one extrapolated-sensor by extrapolation of a first data processing unit of the plurality of physical sensors, and second extrapolation means for computing a second extrapolated-sensor data unit of the at least one extrapolated-sensor by extrapolation of a second data processing unit of the plurality of physical sensors.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 18, 1995
    Date of Patent: September 2, 1997
    Assignee: SeaBeam Instruments Inc.
