Patent number: 12289324Abstract: A network incident summarization and visualization tool presents a summarized or filtered rendering of an analysis or narrative of a collection of events gathered from a stream of incident reports. A graph structure stores entities and relationships between network entities in a graph form based on temporal correspondence between different incidents. An evaluation of the entities and the relationships implements a scoring methodology that identifies the most significant incidents based on the entities and component groups of entities associated by a sequence of relationships. The scoring methodology provides a normalized score that is filtered based on a threshold that removes entities having little to no correspondence or effect. The resulting filtered rendering defines a graph of entities and relationships ordered by type and significance such that the most important aspects of the rendered narrative are apparent.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2021Date of Patent: April 29, 2025Assignee: Two Six Labs, LLCInventor: Robert P.

Patent number: 12286243Abstract: Technology for orbit raising of multiple spacecraft launched with a single launch vehicle. Two or more spacecraft are configured in a stacked launch configuration in which a lower spacecraft is mechanically coupled with a payload adapter of a launch vehicle with one or more upper spacecraft above the lower spacecraft. Propellant that is stored in the lower spacecraft during launch is transferred to an upper spacecraft in the stack after launch. The propellent may be used by the upper spacecraft for an orbit raising maneuver that raises the orbit of at least the upper spacecraft from a first orbit to a second orbit. Storing the propellant in the lower spacecraft lowers the center of mass of the stack during launch. Lowering the center of mass reduces the structural bending moment of the stack during launch, which allows a greater total launch mass.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2023Date of Patent: April 29, 2025Assignee: Maxar Space LLCInventors: Gordon Chun Kong Wu, David Marlow, Jeff Aaron Baldwin
