Publication number: 20240111327Abstract: Methods and systems for performing timekeeping by a data processing system are disclosed. To perform timekeeping, the data processing system may include an oscillator that provides signals upon which time keeping is based. The signal provided by the oscillator may be impacted by the temperature of the oscillator. During periods of time when the data processing system may communicate with other devices, the data processing system may perform cooperative timekeeping synchronization through exchange of data with the other devices. During periods of time when the data processing system may not perform cooperative timekeeping synchronization, the data processing system may perform independent timekeeping synchronization by attempting to thermally stabilize the oscillator.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: JASON CHRISTOPHER ROCK, JONATHAN FOSTER LEWIS

Patent number: 11064463Abstract: A method includes obtaining a plurality of conflict lists including a conflict list for each communication device. The method also includes obtaining resource requirement values. A resource requirement value indicates a number of orthogonal channels that are required to satisfy demand associated with a communication device. The method includes determining that two or more communication devices are associated with a particular resource requirement value. The method also includes selecting a particular communication device by using the conflict lists to perform a maximum independent set analysis based on the two or more communication devices. The method further includes assigning a set of orthogonal channels to the particular communication device. The set of orthogonal channels include a number of orthogonal channels that is based on the particular resource requirement value.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2018Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Christopher Jason Foster, Robert Alan Hawkins, Jr., Paul David Rosenberger, Jereme Barnett-Woods, Peterson L. Browning

Patent number: 11038573Abstract: A distributed beamforming system including a platform terminal and a plurality of user terminals is disclosed. An individual user terminal includes a receiver configured to receive a plurality of individual wireless signals, where the plurality of individual wireless signals are transmitted by the platform terminal and are orthogonal with respect to one another. The individual user terminal also includes one or more frequency converters configured to transform each of the plurality of individual wireless signals to an intermediate frequency. The individual user terminal is configured to coherently combine the plurality of individual wireless signals together to form a beamformed signal.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2020Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Christopher Jason Foster, Daniel Roukos, Kyle William Jewett, Christ Tzelepis

Patent number: 10979118Abstract: A distributed beamforming system includes a platform terminal and a plurality of user terminals. The platform terminal includes an antenna array including a plurality of antenna elements. Each antenna element transmits a wide-area beam configured to encompass each of the plurality of user terminals. The platform terminal also includes one or more processors in electronic communication with the antenna array and a memory coupled to the one or more processors. The memory stores data into a database and program code that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the platform terminal to receive an incoming signal and split the incoming signal into a plurality of individual wireless signals. Each individual wireless signal corresponds to one of the plurality of antenna elements of the antenna array. The system also transmits the plurality of individual wireless signals to the user terminal by the antenna array.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2020Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Christopher Jason Foster, Daniel Roukos, Kyle William Jewett, Christ Tzelepis

Patent number: 10689793Abstract: The disclosure relates to a dryer locker system for us with gear such as firefighting turnout gear including a housing having an interior region defined by a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a bottom wall, and a rear wall. An air blower is disposed on the bottom wall. An air duct is connected to an outlet of the air blower, such that the air blower supplies an air flow to the air duct. A jacket holder is rigidly mounted to the rear wall and projects into the interior region. The jacket holder is adapted to receive the air flow from the air duct. A pants holder is also rigidly mounted to the rear wall and projects into the interior region. The pants holder is also adapted to receive the air flow from the air duct.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2018Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: Balt Designs, LLCInventors: Billy L. Glass, Ryan Clemmons, John Jason Foster
