Eddie R. Brock 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).

  • Generating a time deterministic, spectrally noncoherent signal
    Patent number: 8358240
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a system for generating a signal includes a monocycle generator, one or more temporal modulators, and a pulse shaper. The monocycle generator generates monocycles that form a signal comprising pulses, where a pulse corresponds to one or more monocycles. The temporal modulators provide instructions the monocycle generator to create a specific spectral response in the signal. A pulse shaper individually modulates at least one monocycle of the monocycles corresponding to a pulse to shape the pulse.

  • System and method for identification of communication devices
    Patent number: 8285222
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for identifying a communication device includes a signal generator coupled to a transmit horn and a computing system coupled to a receive horn through a receiver. The signal generator is operable to generate an excitation waveform from the transmit horn such that the communication device passively reflects a response waveform. The computing system is operable to receive the response waveform from the communication device and compare the response waveform to a plurality of reference waveforms to determine the identity of the communication device.
