Patent number: 12250068Abstract: A system to allow the cancellation of terrestrial interferences over aerial networks (Satellite links, and wireless communications) with the support of a canceller module to dynamically decompose wanted and unwanted signals. The invention performs interference cancellation over satellite carriers affected by terrestrial congested spectrum, including the jamming, share of frequencies, or accidental interferences for satellite communications, GPS, Galileo, GNSS or any type of satellite link. The invention provides resiliency to the communication by the regeneration of the desired signal filtering of any unwanted noise received in a terrestrial antenna without the need of any guidance by the modulation. This invention is applicable for any satellite constellation (GEO, MEO, LEO, GPS, MCODE, GNSS, or wireless connectivity, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, 6G, Radar, Wifi, WiMax, etc) and any type of satellite antenna (parabolic, mechanically flat panel antenna, steerable flat panel antennas, unidirectional, etc).Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2023Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: Integrasys LLCInventor: Álvaro Sánchez García Viedma

Publication number: 20230359788Abstract: This specification describes a simulation system that performs simulations of physical environments using a graph neural network. At each of one or more time steps in a sequence of time steps, the system can process a representation of a current state of the physical environment at the current time step using the graph neural network to generate a prediction of a next state of the physical environment at the next time step. Some implementations of the system are adapted for hardware GLOBAL acceleration. As well as performing simulations, the system can be used to predict physical quantities based on measured real-world data. Implementations of the system are differentiable and can also be used for design optimization, and for optimal control tasks.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2021Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Alvaro Sanchez, Jonathan William Godwin, Rex Ying, Tobias Pfaff, Meire Fortunato, Peter William Battaglia
