  • Patent number: 11863221
    Abstract: Described is a Neuromorphic Adaptive Core (NeurACore) cognitive signal processor (CSP) for wide instantaneous bandwidth denoising of noisy signals. The NeurACore CSP includes a NeurACore block, a globally learning layer, and a neural combiner. The NeurACore block is operable for receiving as an input a mixture of in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) signals and mapping the I/Q signals onto a neural network to determine complex-valued output weights of neural states of the neural network. The global learning layer is operable for adapting the complex-valued output weights to predict a most likely next value of the input I/Q signal. Further, the neural combiner is operable for combining a set of delayed neural state vectors with the weights of the global learning layer to compute an output signal, the output signal being separate in-phase and quadrature signals.

  • Patent number: 11333753
    Abstract: Described is a stripmap SAR system on a vehicle comprising an antenna that is fixed and directed outward from the side of the vehicle, a SAR sensor, a storage, and a computing device. The computing device comprises a memory, one or more processing units, and a machine-readable medium on the memory. The machine-readable medium stores instructions that, when executed by the one or more processing units, cause the stripmap SAR system to perform various operations. The operations comprise: receiving stripmap range profile data associated with observed views of a scene; transforming the received stripmap range profile data into partial circular range profile data; comparing the partial circular range profile data to a template range profile data of the scene; and estimating registration parameters associated with the partial circular range profile data relative to the template range profile data to determine a deviation from the template range profile data.

  • Patent number: 11118937
    Abstract: Described is a system for adaptive calibration of a sensor of an inertial measurement unit. Following each sensor measurement, the system performs automatic calibration of a multi-axis sensor. A reliability of a current calibration is assessed. If the current calibration is reliable, then bias and scale factor values are updated according to the most recent sensor measurement, resulting in updated bias and scale factor values. If the current calibration is not reliable, then previous bias and scale factor values are used. The system causes automatic calibration of the multi-axis sensor using either the updated or previous bias and scale factor values.

  • Patent number: 10718198
    Abstract: Described is a system for estimating a trajectory of a borehole. The system processes signals of sensor streams obtained from an inertial sensor system. Using the set of processed signals, the system determines whether a drill is in a survey mode state or a continuous mode state, and a measured depth of the borehole is determined. A set of survey mode positioning algorithms is applied when the drill is stationary. A set of continuous mode navigation algorithms is applied when the drill is non-stationary. Using at least one Kalman filter, results of the set of survey mode positioning algorithms and the set of continuous mode navigation algorithms are combined. An estimate of a borehole trajectory and corresponding ellipse of uncertainty (EOU) is generated using the combined results.

  • Patent number: 10454179
    Abstract: Several embodiments of systems and methods are described for a compound structure consisting of a compact conformal surface-wave antenna feed structure attached to a conformal surface-wave antenna. The feed structure is an Artificial Impedance Surface (AIS) which takes as input an arbitrary source, converts it into a desired surface-wave waveform, which then feeds its output into the attached conformal surface-wave antenna for optimal radiation performance. The feed structure can be made up of several sizes and shapes of AIS metal patches and can produce plane isotropic as well as anisotropic surface-wave output. The surface-wave antenna can be a radiating hologram made up of the same AIS metallic patches as the feed structure and fabricated on the same dielectric substrate.
