Patent number: 10094643Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter includes a method, apparatus and computer storage device for reducing dispersion of a rocket caused by jet-stream misalignment, the rocket comprising a rocket engine. Information indicative of a division of total operation time of the rocket engine into a first time period and a second time period is obtained; wherein an impulse which is generated during the first time period is at least approximately the same as an impulse generated during the second time period; a period of time which equals to the first time period starting from time of activation of the rocket engine is measured; upon termination of the period of time, the rocket is rotated around the rocket's longitudinal axis; and the angle of rotation measured; and the rotation is stopped once a 180° rotation is completed.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2014Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: ISRAEL AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES LTD.Inventors: Benjamin Levy, Shmuel Goldberg

Patent number: 9869756Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter includes a laser system and a respective method of detecting a signal reflected from a target illuminated by a modulated CW light source configured to generate a modulated laser signal at a predefined modulation frequency. A signal comprising true laser signal portions reflected from said target, and noise is received; the signal is filtered for selecting laser signal portions at a modulation frequency band; and the true signal portions in the signal are detected, if the energy at the modulation frequency band is greater than a given threshold.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2014Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: ISRAEL AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES LTD.Inventors: Benjamin Levy, Valery Heymann, Igal Greenberg, Uri Karazi, Amnon Ychye

Publication number: 20150212201Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter includes a method and system for enabling detection of signal reflection from a target designated by a pulse laser spot generated by a low-power laser designator. A signal comprising true signal portions reflected from said target and noise is received and sampled and a first value or a second value is assigned to each sample. The assigned (ith) values in K pulse rate intervals are summed to obtain respective summed values. One or more candidate clusters are identified from among the summed values and a final candidate cluster is selected from among said one or more candidate clusters. The final candidate cluster is located with respective samples of an incoming pulse rate interval, thereby detecting an area within said signal which comprises the true signal portions.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 4, 2013Publication date: July 30, 2015Inventors: Uri Karazi, Benjamin Levy, Valery Heymann

Publication number: 20130255527Abstract: A projectile (100) is provided for operating at least in a launch phase and in a post-launch phase. The projectile includes a projectile body (10), a projectile head (50), and a support structure (80). The projectile head is non-rigidly mounted to the projectile body via a joint structure (70). The support structure is configured for selectively supporting the projectile head with respect to the projectile body in a load bearing relationship independently of the joint structure during at least a portion of the launch phase, and for selectively terminating the support during at least a portion of the post-launch phase. A method for operating a projectile and a method for retrofitting a projectile are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 26, 2011Publication date: October 3, 2013Applicant: ISRAEL AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES LTD.Inventors: Benjamin Levy, Abraham Hayat

Patent number: 8054451Abstract: A system that includes a laser designator configured to continuously designate a target with a pulsed laser spot. The system includes a sensor and associated processing system configured to receive a reflection of the laser spot, convert the received energy to plurality of signals, processing the signals for detecting true reflected signals and process the true reflected signals for generating target related action. The sensor and associated processor are configured to detect the true signals notwithstanding an inherent low Signal/Noise ratio of below 4 of the received signals from due to low pulse power of the laser designator and distance to target.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2007Date of Patent: November 8, 2011Assignee: Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd.Inventors: Uri Karazi, Benjamin Levy, Raphael E. Levy, Valery Heymann

Publication number: 20060242180Abstract: The invention is a process, system, and workflow for extracting and warehousing data from semi-structured documents in any language. This includes, but is not limited to, one or more of methods for: the automatic building of text mining term models; the optimization or evolution of such text mining term models; the implementation of document specific (or company specific) memory; and the tying or linking of the extracted data, or metadata, once placed in a target electronic document, to the machine readable, underlying source document, thus providing verification and provenance. The process preferably incorporates a wizard-based method for producing pattern recognition text mining term models to extract data from text. The invention also includes a system, method and workflow for handling a subsequent document of similar design and structure, specifically the automatic extraction of target elements and addition of the same to a database.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2004Publication date: October 26, 2006Inventors: James Graf, Vladimir Koroteyev, Eduard Mikhaylov, Elliot Bricker, Benjamin Levy, Augustinus Wong
