Patent number: 11791557Abstract: A multi-band software defined antenna array tile including a set of pairs of frequency converters associated with a respective coupled dipole array antenna element and comprising a principal polarization converter for applying an oscillating signal to a first partial beam-formed data stream to generate an oscillating partial beam-formed data stream, where the oscillating signal is associated with an oscillating signal frequency received from a memory operatively connected to a system controller. The principal polarization converter applies a three-stage halfband filter to the first oscillating partial beam-formed data stream to generate a filtered partial beam-formed data stream, applies time delay to the filtered partial beam-formed data stream to generate a first partial beam and transmits a partial beam along with other partial beams to a digital software system interface through a data transport bus.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2022Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: BlueHalo, LLCInventors: Michael Thomas Pace, David Gregory Baur, Theodore Lyman Schuler-Sandy, William Kennedy, Jeffrey Gerard Micono, William Louis Walker, Garrett James Newell

Publication number: 20230305087Abstract: An insert for an EPR probehead is disclosed. The insert comprises a directional coupler and an amplifier. The directional coupler receives microwave power from a source at a first port and transfers a portion of the received microwave power to a second port for transmission to a sample space. The directional coupler is also arranged to receive a microwave signal from the sample space at the second port and to pass the majority of the received microwave signal to a third port. The amplifier has an input and an output; the input is arranged to receive the microwave signal from the third port of the directional coupler and to produce an amplified version of the received microwave signal at the output for transmission to a detector.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2021Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Mantas Simenas, James Campbell O'Sullivan, Christoph Wilhelm Zollitsch, Oscar William Kennedy, John Julian Larrarte Morton

Patent number: 11507604Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a system for automated persona feature selection. Soft clusters of entities are received, each entity having a history of features. Each feature has a general prevalence coefficient representing prevalence of entities having the respective feature in their history. A feature list is generated for each cluster, each feature having an in-cluster coefficient representing prevalence of entities in the cluster having the feature in their history. Features having an in-cluster coefficient that is different from that feature's general prevalence coefficient are selected. A variance across the clusters is determined for each selected feature. A discriminating feature list having high variance features is generated for each cluster. Clusters are selected for an entity by comparing the features of the entity's history to features of the discriminating feature lists of the clusters. Content is customized according to the chosen clusters and sent to the entity.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: Quantcast CorporationInventor: William Kennedy Browne
