Airborne system and method for the characterization and measurement of antennas or radiating systems
Patent number: 11415615Abstract: An airborne system and method for the characterization and measurement of radiating systems or antennas (5), including: an aerial module (1) including a unit for measuring electromagnetic emissions (11), which captures the electromagnetic field (E) radiated by the radiating system or antenna (5), and a positioning and guiding system (13) with an accuracy equal to or less than 3 cm; and a ground station (2) including a unit (23) for processing the electromagnetic emission measurements, which processes the measurements using a set of algorithms for processing electromagnetic emission measurements (25). Also, a method for measuring and characterizing radiating systems or antennas (5). The invention is suitable for use in sectors that require antennas to be characterized and measured, such as, for example, radar and radio navigation facilities, terrestrial- and satellite-based telecommunications systems, or terrestrial broadcasting facilities.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2018Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignees: UNIVERSIDAD DE OVIEDO, UNIVERSIDAD DE VIGOInventors: Yuri Álvarez López, María Garcia Fernández, Fernando Las-Heras Andrés, Ana Arboleya Arboleya, Borja González Valdés, Yolanda Rodriguez Vaqueiro, Antonio García Pino -
Patent number: 11336442Abstract: Traditional key generation methods in a noisy network often assume trusted devices and are thus vulnerable to many attacks including covert channels. The present invention differs from previous key generation schemes in that it presents a mechanism which allows secure key generation with untrusted devices in a noisy network with a prescribed access structure.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2018Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: UNIVERSIDAD DE VIGOInventors: Marcos Curty Alonso, Lo Hoi-Kwong

Patent number: 10895636Abstract: Airborne systems and methods for the detection, location and obtaining of images of buried objects and for the characterization of the composition of the subsoil. The systems comprise at least one aerial module with a radar unit that emits and/or captures radar signals and a positioning and guidance system with an accuracy equal to or less than 3 cm, and a ground station with a flight control system and a radar signal processing unit where radar signal processing algorithms are applied. The invention also comprises a method for the detection, localization and obtaining of images of buried objects and a method for the characterization of the composition of the subsoil. Applicable in sectors where it is necessary to perform the detection of buried objects, as for example in civil applications (detection of antipersonnel mines), pipeline inspection or in archaeology.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2017Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Assignees: UNIVERSIDAD DE OVIEDO, UNIVERSIDAD DE VIGOInventors: Borja Gonzáles Valdés, Yuri Alvarez López, Ana Arboleya, Yolanda Rodríguez Vaqueiro, María García Fernández, Fernando Las-Heras Andrés, Antonio García Pino

Patent number: 6339913Abstract: The osteointegration of osseous fixing implants may be improved through a series of surface treatments. These treatments comprise a cleaning and passivation process, the application of a coating of CaUPVHXOYCZ to the implant, where subindexes u, v, x, y, and z are natural numbers including zero with variable stoichiometry, and a sterilization process by irradiation. The flexibility of this method provides for the control of physical and chemical properties of the obtained surface in order to match the properties with those of the bone in which the implant will be placed.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 1998Date of Patent: January 22, 2002Assignee: Universidad de VigoInventors: Betty Mireya Leon Fong, Juan Maria Pou Saracho, Jorge Luis Arias Otero, Francisco Jose Garcia Sanz, Mercedes Belen Mayor Leiros, Pio Manuel Gonzalez Fernandez, Mariano Jesus Perez-Martinez Y Perez-Amor
