Patent number: 11838204Abstract: According to the present invention, programs that use signals, such as multi-media signals, received over communication channels from one or more sources are produced in a computing system by executing an application software in one or more servers of the computing system. At least one of the servers has one or more processors that process defined logical entities. A signal used in production of a program is received from a source over a communication channel at a server. An input logical entity having attributes associated with the source of the signal is defined such that the input logical entity is responsive to a user defined predicate comprising a logical expression for accepting or rejecting the signal. Also defined are a stream logical entity that identifies an accepted signal and a routing logical entity that establishes a connection between the stream logical entity and a destination. The accepted signal is routed to the destination based on a routing rule.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: LTN Global Inc.Inventors: Joa Diego Ebert, Andreas Jacobi, Malik Khan

Patent number: 11196768Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and system for determining plausibility of intelligent transport system (ITS) messages via a wireless communications channel at one or more message receivers. The method includes receiving a first ITS message having a first characteristic and receiving a second associated ITS message having a second characteristic. The method uses the first characteristic and the second characteristic to satisfy at least one predetermined criterion and determines plausibility of at least one of the first ITS message, the second ITS message and a third ITS message. The characteristic includes a PHY-layer or MAC-layer characteristic.

Patent number: 10416274Abstract: A vehicle or other mobile communication entity (102) locates objects using received (typically radio frequency) signals (104, 106). These received signals included multi-path versions of the transmitted signals (104). The received signals may include packets having location information of the transmission source. The receiving vehicle may track, or know, its own position. The receiving entity may determine properties for a multi-path version of the signal (208, 210). These properties may include a delay, a Doppler and an angle of reception (122, 124) for one or more multi-path versions of the received signal. The receiving entity may also measure an imbalance (504) induced between a pair (or more) of antenna elements (302) for a particular multi-path version of the signal received. This imbalance may be dependent on the angle of arrival of the particular signal being received.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2016Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: Cohda WirelessInventors: Paul D.

Patent number: 8181210Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method that delivers content from one or more content sources to a plurality of subscriber units via a flow transport subsystem that transports content flows originated from the one or more content sources over a wide area network in response to one or more requests for deadline-driven content flows. E.g., live or interactive flows. One or more gateways interface with the flow transport subsystem for receiving the deadline-driven content flows. Each of the one or more gateways is associated with one or more subscriber units and is selected based on one or more requests for deadline-driven content flows. A content processor converts the deadline-driven content flows to modulated content flows, and a flow delivery subsystem delivers the modulated content flows to one or more subscriber units associated with a selected gateway over an allocated frequency bandwidth of one or more transmission mediums.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2009Date of Patent: May 15, 2012Assignee: Livetimenet, Inc.Inventors: Yair Amir, Michal Miskin-Amir, Yousef Javadi, Malik Khan, Jonathan Stanton
