Christopher Floyd 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: 11378679
    Abstract: A system produces sensed images. The system includes a sensor array, an image display device, and a processor that generates an image illustrating contents of an expanded field of view. The processor receives sensor element data from the sensor array, performs zero padding and discrete Fourier transform to result in a sensor wavenumber data buffer. The processor determines reference point locations, and generates a reference Fresnel field. The processor obtains an inverse Huygens-Fresnel transfer data buffer based on the reference Fresnel field. The processor multiplies each data element of the sensor wavenumber buffer with each corresponding data element of the inverse Huygens-Fresnel transfer data buffer. The processor generates a rectilinear spectrum data buffer based on the multiplication. The processor performs Stolt mapping and uniformly resampling to achieve image data.

  • Publication number: 20180370119
    Abstract: An energetic thermoplastic filament comprising an energetic material bound within a thermoplastic matrix and methods for the fabrication of an energetic thermoplastic filament are disclosed. The energetic material comprises an energetic material selected from an explosive, a propellant, a pyrotechnic, an oxidizer, or combinations thereof. The thermoplastic comprises a TPE, ETPE, or combinations thereof. The thermoplastic filaments may be formed by extrusion. The energetic thermoplastic filaments are particularly suitable for additive manufacturing by thermal FDM style 3D printing systems.

  • Patent number: 9063988
    Abstract: An apparatus having a computer-implemented database controller module, a computer-implemented database module, and a computer-implemented database query module. Software and/or firmware that is/are included in computer-implemented database controller module is/are configured to enter baseline data into the computer-implemented database module and to enter changes into the computer-implemented database module using an extensible multidimensional effectivity method of recording only an indicated change with its effectivity parameters. The computer-implemented database query module is configured to retrieve answers to queries relating to the baseline data and the changes and to return the answers in response to the queries.

  • Publication number: 20140250163
    Abstract: A computer program product and method for delivery of electronic and physical documents, with multiple addressing and delivery options. The system may receive uploaded electronic documents and deliver the documents electronically based on only a substantially correct physical address, or based on only a username. The recipient may choose the method of delivery of the uploaded documents. A tag may be input in order to associate the received electronic documents with others having the same tag. Optional services include, but are not limited to, e-signatures, certified mail, electronic and physical proofs of service, and email confirmation.

  • Publication number: 20140220694
    Abstract: The invention identifies and describes proteins that are differentially expressed in platelets resistant to anti-platelet agents such as aspirin (acetylsalicyclic acid) compared to those platelets that are sensitive to such agents. Methods for determining further such differentially expressed proteins and methods for determining an individual's sensitivity to anti-platelet agents, such as aspirin, prior to administration.

  • Publication number: 20140082111
    Abstract: A computer program product and method for delivery of electronic and physical documents, with an email interface for uploading documents to be automatically stored in a user's account. The system may receive uploaded electronic documents for delivery to one or more electronic and/or physical endpoints. After the electronic documents have been received, the delivery system determines whether the received electronic documents should be delivered electronically or physically, based on recipient data in the delivery system. If physical documents are to be delivered, the system may intelligently decide whether to aggregate some documents into a multi-document package. The system provides for delivery by commercial carrier, postal service, and/or electronic delivery. Optional services available to the sender include, but are not limited to, certified mail, proof of service, and email confirmation.
