  • Patent number: 11764817
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a machine learning-based receiver that operates on the basis of a wide-band RF front-end. The RF front-end outputs clean IQ data to a SPectrum-Analysis-Isolation-Synthesis (SPAIS) system in order to collect analytics of signals present within the monitored band of frequencies, including signal center frequencies, bandwidth and power. The SPAIS system pre-processes the captured wideband IQ data in order to locate frequency bands with signal energy, isolate and synthesize the located frequency bands in corresponding IQ data for individual processing by a neural network with high classification accuracy.

  • Patent number: 11509339
    Abstract: A method of processing a radio frequency signal includes: receiving the radio frequency signal at an antenna of a receiver device; processing, by a radio frequency front-end device, the radio frequency signal; converting, by an analog-to-digital converter, the analog signal to a digital signal; receiving, by a neural network, the digital signal; and processing, by the neural network, the digital signal to produce an output.

  • Publication number: 20200309905
    Abstract: An exemplary detection apparatus includes a housing having one or more sensors of one or more sensor types, an optional port for detachably mounting one or more of the sensors, and an optional motive system associated with a mode of transport for movement in an area of interest. A sensor circuit receives a signal originating from the one or more sensors, identifies the signal, optionally processes the signal data, and packages the raw signal data or processed signal data, as applicable, for transmission over a network. A control circuit establishes communication with the network for sending or receiving sensor data to/from other devices connected to the network, and controls the motive system for moving the apparatus to locations in the area of interest.

  • Publication number: 20180290185
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring a fluidized slug in a piping conduit. The system includes a first sensor assembly positioned at a first location of the piping conduit, a second sensor assembly positioned at a second location of the piping conduit, the second location being downstream from the first location, and a monitoring controller. The monitoring controller is coupled to the first sensor assembly and the second sensor assembly. The monitoring controller is configured to receive first data from the first sensor assembly and second data from the second sensor assembly. The first data indicates a first characteristic of the fluidized slug within the piping conduit and the second data indicates a second characteristic of the fluidized slug within the piping conduit. The monitoring controller then generates an indication of a slug characteristic based on the first data and the second data.

  • Publication number: 20150212054
    Abstract: A compact chromatographic device and use thereof are disclosed. The device permits trapping of a first analyte while permitting passage of other analytes, followed by trapping of a second and subsequent analytes in an orderly series. Each analyte is trapped sequentially by a different chromatographic media. The process allows detection and/or measurement of each analyte without interference from other analytes previously trapped, enabling assays of analytes in a compact device without elution of analytes from the device. The compact device is pre-assembled and ready to use in a point of care or non-laboratory setting.
