Publication number: 20230138527Abstract: A navigation, take-off, and landing support system (NTLS) that facilitates vertical landing at a landing area by an aerial vehicle comprises a plurality of pseudolites distributed proximate the landing area. Each pseudolite is configured to transmit a radio frequency (RF) signal that facilitates determining, by the aerial vehicle, its position and velocity relative to the pseudolite and whether the pseudolite is operating within a nominal operating range. A monitoring receiver is positioned proximate the landing area and is configured to receive RF signals from the pseudolites. A control system is in communication with the pseudolites and the monitoring receiver. The control system is configured to determine, based on the RF signals received from the monitoring receiver, whether the pseudolites are operating within a nominal operating range and to indicate to each of the pseudolites whether the pseudolite is operating within a nominal operating range.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2022Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventors: Rongsheng Li, Tim A.

Patent number: 9305861Abstract: A chip and a chip package can transmit information to each other by using a set of converters capable of communicating with each other through the emission and reception of electromagnetic signals. Both the chip and the chip package have at least one such converter physically disposed on them. Each converter is able to (1) convert received electromagnetic signals into electronic signals, which it then may relay to leads on the device on which it is disposed; and (2) receive electronic signals from leads on the device on which it is disposed and convert them into corresponding electromagnetic signals, which it may transmit to a corresponding converter on the other device. Not having a direct physical connection between the chip and the chip package decreases the inductive and capacitive effects commonly experienced with physical bonds.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2011Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Tim Murphy, Lee Gotcher

Publication number: 20150052044Abstract: A system for monitoring one or more transactions includes a memory, which stores first metadata, second metadata, and third metadata, communicatively coupled to one or more processors. The one or more processors receive the first metadata from a first transaction processing system, the second metadata from a second transaction processing system, and the third metadata from a third transaction processing system and determine attributes from each of the first, second, and third metadata. Each of the first, second, and third metadata are associated with a task performed by the first, second, and third transaction processing systems, respectively. The one or more processors associate the first metadata with a first transaction. The one or more processors then determine that none of the attributes from the second metadata are the same as any of the attributes from the first metadata and then associate the second metadata with a second transaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2013Publication date: February 19, 2015Applicant: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Brandon Castagna, Laith Sheet, John Arcidiacono, Brian Kunzie, Suresh Jagarlamudi, Tim Murphy, Michael Galloway
