  • Patent number: 12283801
    Abstract: A collet for multiple wire elements is disclosed. In an example, the collet has a body made of a polymeric material and extends along a central axis from a first end to a second end. The body defines a first passageway extending axially through the body, the first passageway in communication with the environment via a first insertion opening extending along an entire length of the first passageway. The body defines a second passageway extending axially through the body and in communication with the environment along an entire length of the second passageway via a second insertion opening, the second passageway spaced circumferentially from the first passageway. When installed, the collet frictionally engages wire elements when a first wire element is seated in the first passageway and a second wire element is seated in the second passageway.

  • Publication number: 20250110242
    Abstract: A global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signal authentication methodology includes receiving, by one or more processors, a first digital signal and a second digital signal, the first digital signal and the second digital signal each representative of a GNSS satellite signal received from a GNSS satellite and including a ranging code that uniquely identifies the GNSS satellite, the first and second GNSS satellite signals transmitted contemporaneously from physically separate antennas onboard the GNSS satellite. The methodology continues with computing, by the one or more processors, a digital fingerprint based on the first digital signal and the second digital signal, and determining, by the one or more processors, that the first GNSS satellite signal and the second GNSS satellite signal are authentic (or not) based on the digital fingerprint. If the first and/or second GNSS satellite signals are found to not be authentic, remedial action may be taken.
