Patent number: 11923604Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to using a plurality of antennas radially distributed about a rotatable turret to sequentially scan a field of view. Each of the plurality of antennas directs an electromagnetic beam and senses its reflection along a principal direction defined by a roll position of the rotatable turret and an azimuthal beam angle. The principal directions of the antennas have a unique azimuthal beam angle relative to a boresight (i.e., axis of rotation). As the turret rotates, each of these antennas is sequentially turned on at a first roll position and off at a second roll position. This enables electromagnetic beams generated by the antennas to pan a scene both in azimuth and roll. An image processor then determines, based on the reflected signals received by the plurality of antennas, directions to and/or velocities of objects within the scanned field of view.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: RAYTHEON COMPANYInventors: Andrew David Gamalski, Jaime Robledo

Patent number: 11796424Abstract: A simulated payload apparatus (SPA) for testing in a flight motion system (FMS), which has a body for mounting in the FMS, and which simulates an actual payload during the FMS test. The SPA may include a plurality of adjustable weights that are mountable on and/or removable from the body to vary the mass and/or center of gravity of the SPA. The SPA may include an adjustable bracket for interfacing with a motion drive of the FMS, in which the bracket is positionable along the body to vary the moment of inertia of the SPA. The SPA may include an onboard electronic measurement device that is configured to measure a motion characteristic of the SPA and/or communicate information about the measured motion characteristic in real-time during the FMS test. The SPA may include a laser alignment for aligning the SPA relative to test equipment of the FMS.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2022Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: Karla J. Zamora, Jaime Robledo, Richard Jones, Joel Reyes, Devin Raymond, Sergey Kokoulin, Daniel B. Carman, Ashik Arefin

Patent number: 7913593Abstract: A tool for installing a threaded object includes a bit or inner implement that has a tip for engaging a head of the threaded object, and a sleeve surrounding the inner implement for securing the threaded object to the tool during the installation process. The sleeve includes plural arms at least some of which have inner lips that engage the head of the threaded object to hold the head against the tip. The inner lips are chamfered to facilitate engagement and disengagement between the sleeve and the head of the threaded object. The sleeve is able to translate to a limited extent relative to the inner implement, in order to pull back and disengage from the threaded object head as the threaded object is received into a threaded opening.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2008Date of Patent: March 29, 2011Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: Jason A.
