  • Patent number: 11879956
    Abstract: Systems and methods for measurement and management provide complex measurements cost-effectively at very high accuracy. These methods and systems in some cases achieve measurement accuracy exceeding the accuracy of the reference standards they rely on, and eliminate expensive and disadvantageous recalibration procedures. The accurate measurements are integrated with management functions, applying the measurement data to meet objectives of the integrated system and workflow goals of its user. The disclosed systems and methods comprise an explicit or expressly represented model both of themselves and of candidate external systems to be measured and managed. The models may be configured and reconfigured by the owner-user through either local or remote means. The system intelligently reconfigures itself to adapt dynamically to the conditions of measurement and the user's and system's goals at each moment.

  • Patent number: 11864311
    Abstract: Systems and methods for educational electronics devices such as may be assembled by non-manufacturer builders, including by personal or hobbyist individuals and by groups such as clubs or classes. Methods and systems relate to Surface Mount Device (SMD) use, measurement systems, communications skill acquisition, physical construction of educational electronics, builder construction/configuration and maintenance of devices, subsystem componentry designed for effective use in educational electronics, circuit designs that permit individual builders to construct professional quality devices, and cognitively adapted methods and systems to optimize learning and performance during and after builder assembly.
