Publication number: 20190018075Abstract: The present disclosure relates to apparatuses and methods to utilize techniques to simultaneously measure Ramsey pulses on a plurality of axes of the magneto-optical defect center material with defect centers. When measuring simultaneously, there is potentially no relative sensitivity loss relative to scalar measurements. Therefore, Ramsey pulses on a plurality of axes of a magneto-optical defect material with defect centers are measured while bypassing the sensitivity loss incurred with sequential measurement techniques. The axes are interrogated simultaneously while allowing for isolation of the individual responses from the signal detected from the magneto-optical defect center material. In some embodiments, the system utilizes a special Ramsey pulse sequence pair or a ‘shifted magnetometry adapted cancellation’ (SMAC) pair to detect and measure the magnetic field acting on the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2018Publication date: January 17, 2019Applicant: LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATIONInventors: Arul Manickam, Peter G. Kaup, Jon C. Russo

Publication number: 20190018086Abstract: A system for magnetic detection of an external magnetic field is described. The system includes a controller configured to control components of the system. The controller is configured to control an optical excitation source and a RF excitation source to apply pulse sequences to a magneto-optical defect center material such that in the excitation pulses of a first pair of RF excitation pulses have a first phase difference, the excitation pulses of a second pair of RF excitation pulses have a second phase difference, and the second phase difference is different from the first phase difference. The controller computes a combined magnetometry curve as a function of the RF excitation frequency based on a difference between a measured value of a first light detection signal and a measured value of a second light detection signal. The controller sets the first phase difference and the second phase difference based on the combined magnetometry curve.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2018Publication date: January 17, 2019Applicant: LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATIONInventors: Arul MANICKAM, Peter G.

Patent number: 10169567Abstract: Systems and methods for performing behavioral authentication of Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices are described. These methods may capture one or more behavioral characteristics of a specific USB device and may generate a device fingerprint based on the captured characteristics. When the USB device is plugged in again in the host device, the behavioral characteristics of the USB device may be re-captured and may be compared to those of the device fingerprint. If it is determined that such behavioral characteristics substantially match, authorization may be granted. In one example, timing characteristics may be used as behavioral characteristics, in which the timing of a series of transactions is sensed by the host device. A timing characteristic may include, for example, the time it takes the USB device to complete a transaction. The transactions are part of an enumeration process in some embodiments.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2017Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: Andrew L.
