Benjamin C. Gookin has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12189742
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for fingerprinting wireless communications using few-shot learning techniques. The systems and methods relate to storing fingerprint data indicating device fingerprint features detected for a plurality of identified transmitting devices in a database. The methods further relate to receiving, at a communication device, wireless communications from an unidentified transmitting device. Additionally, the systems and methods illustrate determining a device fingerprint responsive to a portion of each of the wireless communications using few-shot learning techniques and comparing the determined device fingerprint to the stored fingerprint data in the database.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230074968
    Abstract: Classification of signals using machine learning and related systems, methods and computer-readable media are disclosed. A signal classification system includes a sentence embedding model network, a convolutional generator network, and a classifier network. The sentence embedding model network is trained to convert a body of sentences correlated to different signal modulation schemes into a latent space. The convolutional generator network is configured to project samples of a measured signal into the latent space. The classifier network is configured to classify the measured signal from the latent space responsive to a projection of the samples of the measured signal into the latent space. A method includes training a sentence embedding model network to convert descriptive sentences to a latent space, the descriptive sentences correlated to different signal modulation schemes. The method also includes training a convolutional generator network to project samples of a measured signal into the latent space.
