  • Patent number: 11936766
    Abstract: A receiver includes a circuit designed to process, based on a plurality of timed waveform reference locations, a waveform signal, the waveform signal comprising a message. The circuit may include a clock source, an input configured to receive the waveform signal, a time location reference circuit coupled to the clock source, the time location reference circuit designed to output the plurality of timed waveform reference locations, each timed waveform reference location being set by the clock, and a signal processing circuit coupled to the time location reference circuit, the signal processing circuit designed to generate an output voltage in a response to the waveform signal being inputted into the signal processing circuit through the input and processed at each timed waveform reference location from the series of timed waveform reference locations. A transmitter that generates the waveform signal can be also provided where the clocks are matched.

  • Patent number: 11908811
    Abstract: A system for inspecting or screening electrically powered device includes a signal generator inputting a preselected signal into the electrically powered device. There is also an antenna array positioned at a pre-determined distance above the electrically powered device. Apparatus collects RF energy emitted by the electrically powered device in response to input of said preselected signal. The signature of the collected RF energy is compared with an RF energy signature of a genuine part. The comparison determines one of a genuine or counterfeit condition of the electrically powered device.

  • Publication number: 20230097993
    Abstract: A method for detecting, in a real-time manner, a presence or an absence of a an anomaly in or a cyber attack onto a medical apparatus comprises the steps of capturing, with an antenna, one or more emissions of electromagnetic energy from the processing devices within medical apparatus; converting, with a receiver coupled to the antenna, the one or more emissions from an analog to a digital form; generating, with a controller, a digital signal in a time domain; converting, the digital signal from the time domain to a frequency domain, the digital signal containing a signature of cross modulation products from the non-linear attachments; processing, in the frequency domain, the signature of cross modulation products to determine mixing characteristics of the cross modulation products; and detecting, based on the mixing characteristics, the absence or the presence of the anomaly or the cyber attack.

  • Patent number: 11229379
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for the analysis of gaseous compounds, especially for determining the concentration of a gas or gases in a gas mixture by microwave spectroscopy. Microwave radiation is generated at one or more frequencies the gas is most responsive to, transmitted by antenna, passed through the gas under test, received by antenna, and the absorption and/or reflection of the microwave radiation is measured by means such as digitization and analysis using the FFT spectrum versus energy response generated, the response subsequently used to calculate the gas concentration.
