  • Patent number: 11954994
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, from a plurality of magnetic field receivers including magnetic sensors, data characterizing samples obtained by the plurality of magnetic field receivers, the samples of a combination of a first magnetic field and a second magnetic field resulting from interaction of the first magnetic field and an object; determining, using the received data, a polarizability index of the object, the polarizability index characterizing a magnetic polarizability property of the object; classifying, using the determined polarizability index, the object as threat or non-threat; and providing the classification. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 10541472
    Abstract: A system includes a frequency modulated signal generator, a feed system, and an array of passive antenna elements. The frequency modulated signal generator can be producing a frequency modulated continuous wave signal. The feed system can be coupled to the frequency modulated signal generator for propagating the frequency modulated continuous wave signal. The array of passive antenna elements can be coupled to the feed system and can be configured to be excited by the frequency modulated continuous wave signal. The passive antenna elements can have resonant frequencies that are selected to generate a set of radiative field patterns corresponding to a set of known goal field patterns when the array of passive antenna elements are excited by the frequency modulated continuous wave signal. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 10382300
    Abstract: Data is received characterizing a request for agent computation of sensor data. The request includes a required confidence and required latency for completion of the agent computation. Agents to query are determined based on the required confidence. Data is transmitted to query the determined agents to provide analysis of the sensor data. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 10338214
    Abstract: A modular imaging system includes an antenna panels, a sensor, and at least one data processor. The antenna panels include an array of antenna elements including at least two antenna elements separated by a spacing more than a half wavelength. The plurality of antenna panels are configurable to be spatially arranged and oriented with respect to one another to measure radar returns of an observation domain for a target. The sensor has a field of view overlapping the observation domain and for measuring an image. The at least one data processor forms part of at least one computing system and is adapted to receive data characterizing the optical image and the radar returns, determine a spatial location of the target, and construct a radar return image of the target using a sparsity constraint determined from the spatial location of the target. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 9791553
    Abstract: Data is received characterizing a plurality of measurements for a scene received by a plurality of sensor elements forming a sensor array. A plurality of scene sub-domains is mapped to the plurality of sensor elements. A plurality of voxels associated with one of the plurality of scene sub-domains is mapped to a plurality of measurement sub-domains. One or more scattering coefficients of the scene is determined by applying the mapping to the received data. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.
