Benjamin Farris Bush 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: 10155157
    Abstract: Disclosed are a combination controller unit and a carrier device for handheld electronic devices. The device comprises a main section that removably attach to a handheld device around the perimeter thereof. The device further includes a first section opposite a second section, wherein each of the first and second sections folds and extends outward from the main section in a substantially wing-like fashion. Each of the first and second sections includes a plurality of control buttons for inputting commands to the handheld device. Embedded within the sections is a flex circuit that is configured to at least partially bend onto itself so as to manipulate the sections to and from an operating configuration and a storing configuration.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150204969
    Abstract: A method for determining location information for a target may include generating a cyclic transmit signal having a fixed frequency slope over a substantial portion of each cycle and an operational frequency that is selected to penetrate foliage, transmitting the cyclic transmit signal without up-conversion with at least one transmit antenna, down-converting two or more return signals received from corresponding return antennas with the cyclic transmit signal to provide a corresponding set of baseband signals, extracting magnitude and phase information for each return signal as a function of range from the plurality of baseband signals, and determining a location of a target from the magnitude and phase information. A corresponding apparatus, system, and computer readable medium are also disclosed herein.
