Abstract: A transmit-receive radar system having multiple sub-apertures aligned in an offset, off-centered cross pattern that allows for searching of a sub-aperture pattern for the peak response without having to retransmit beams. The placement of the physical apertures combined with the use of MIMO operations provides a non-uniform distribution of virtual sub-apertures that suppresses ambiguous grading lobes and maintains angle resolution in a manner equivalent to that of non-MIMO approaches. As a result, target detection is enabled within a significantly larger angular area than in a non-MIMO configuration.

Abstract: A method and device for installing, reinstalling, upgrading, or downgrading an operating system. The method including the steps of: mounting, on a computing device having a primary memory and a secondary memory storing a first operating system, a virtual disk in the primary memory; installing, on the virtual disk an installation operating system; staging in the primary memory a desired operating system; staging in the primary memory an installation file configured to install the desired operating system in the secondary memory; and executing the installation file to install the desired operating system in the secondary memory.

Abstract: The preferred embodiments described herein provide a memory device and methods for use therewith. In one preferred embodiment, a method is presented for using a file system to dynamically respond to variability in an indicated minimum number of memory cells of first and second write-once memory devices. In another preferred embodiment, a method for overwriting data in a memory device is described in which an error code is disregarded after a destructive pattern is written. In yet another preferred embodiment, a method is presented in which, after a block of memory has been allocated for a file to be stored in a memory device, available lines in that block are determined. Another preferred embodiment relates to reserving at least one memory cell in a memory device for file structures or file system structures. A memory device is also provided in which file system structures of at least two file systems are stored in the same memory partition.

Abstract: The preferred embodiments described herein provide a memory device and method for reading data stored in a portion of a memory device unreadable by a file system of a host device. In one preferred embodiment, a memory device is provided comprising a first portion that is readable by a file system of a host device and a second portion that is unreadable by the file system of the host device. The first portion stores program code operative to enable the host device to read the second portion. In operation, after the memory device is connected with the host device, the program code is provided to the host device, and the host device reads the data stored in the second portion of the memory device. Other preferred embodiments are provided, and each of the preferred embodiments described herein can be used alone or in combination with one another.
