Patents by Inventor Daniel B. Harrison

Daniel B. Harrison 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: 11789725
    Abstract: A modular electronic warfare (EW) framework that is implemented into a first preexisting EW system with associated hardware and firmware to leverage the capabilities of the first preexisting EW system into a second, different preexisting EW system with associated hardware and firmware. The modular EW framework includes a tracking framework and a logic framework. The tracking framework is configured to receive a first set of objects from a preexisting EW system and augments the first set of objects with at least one parameter and outputs the second set of objects. The logic framework is configured to receive the set of second objects from the tracking framework and implements at least one process onto the second set of objects and outputs a third set of objects. A multi-core processor is used to operate the modular EW framework.

  • Patent number: 11747438
    Abstract: A cognitive scheduler and asset allocation system to optimize electronic warfare (EW) resource allocation in reaction to RF signals observed in real-time without the need for prior collected data and without a predetermined scan schedule. The EW system of the present disclosure may further provide optimum resource allocation to minimize response time and to more effectively react to agile threat systems in an area of operations.

  • Patent number: 11300674
    Abstract: A method for automatically correlating radio wave pulses includes deterring a first normalized phase shift that corresponds to a first radio wave pulse. The method further includes determining a second normalized phase shift that corresponds to a second radio wave pulse. The method further includes determining the first normalized first normalized phase shift is equal to the second normalized phase shift. The method further includes in response to determining the first normalized phase shift is equal to the second normalized phase shift, correlating the first radio wave pulse and the second radio wave pulse as originating from a same radio wave transmitter. The method further includes transmitting a signal indicative of the first radio wave pulse and the second radio wave pulse as originating from the same radio wave transmitter through a circuit.

  • Patent number: 5557456
    Abstract: Apparatus for manually controlling a motorized microscope stage for movement about the X, Y and Z axes. The apparatus includes a main housing having an X axis control knob and a Y axis control knob rotatably mounted to the housing. A Z axis control knob is provided for controlling movement about the Z axis. The Z axis knob is mounted to a removable module so that the position of the Z axis control knob is adjustable with respect to the other knobs. There is a controller for generating stage control signals in response to movement of the knobs. A plug-in connector connects the apparatus to the microscope stage controller such that the stage control signals create corresponding movements of the motorized stage. The apparatus simulates the controls of a nonmotorized stage while maintaining compatibility with existing stage controller units. The apparatus is designed to provide tactile position feedback to the user similar to that of a manual non-motorized microscope.
