Publication number: 20240118405Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for scanning operations for co-located satellite antennas are described. For instance, a set of co-located satellite antennas may transmit a set of component transmit signals to form a beam, where a first line segment at a boundary of the beam is tangential to a first sphere having a surface that encompasses Earth, where a location on the first line segment tangential to the surface of the first sphere is above a surface of the Earth by a threshold altitude. The set of co-located satellite antennas may receive a set of component receive signals including reflected energy of the beam. A central processor may apply a set of beamforming coefficients to the set of component receive signals to obtain a receive beam signal and may process the receive beam signal to obtain a signature associated with an object within a limb of the Earth.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Parker A.

Publication number: 20240062395Abstract: A crime center system generating a graphical user interface (GUI), which may be map-based, that facilitates efficient following of a moving object across cameras covering a geographic area. The system processes information on a network of cameras to determine the locations the cameras and their orientations. An object-tracking interface is generated by the system that includes an active camera view window presenting video from a camera capturing video of the geographic area that includes the tracked object. The system determines a set of the cameras, based on known locations and orientations, capturing images about the geographic space captured by the active camera. The system generates a “halo” of camera icons in the object-tracking interface around the periphery of the active camera view window, which provides a 360-degree view of available cameras about the active camera's location allowing a user to select a next active camera to efficiently track an object.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2022Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: David A.

Publication number: 20240064237Abstract: A cloud-based real-time crime center with dispatch directed digital media payloads configured to support both emergency dispatchers and emergency responders responding to an incident requiring assistance. The new dispatch system is “cloud-based” in that it provides a central hub or repository for gathering live video streams and data streams that are processed to fuse them together to provide a map-based interface for the dispatcher to access via a desktop or other computing station at a central agency location and for the responders in the field to access via vehicle-mounted or portable client devices. The dispatch system processes the video and data streams to generate a dispatch directed payload that includes data and video relevant to the identified incident and that can be readily communicated (due to its reduced or controlled size) to field responders to make their response more effective and to increase both the safety of the responders and those involved in the incident.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Christopher R.

Publication number: 20240013142Abstract: A system for tracking data related to a cigar. The system has a tracking database configured to receive input from at least an environmental database for providing environmental data relating the manufacturer of the cigar to the tracking database. At least one additional tracking system receives subsequent data relating to the handling of the cigar, after manufacturer. The tracking database assembles a tracking database entry uniquely associated with the cigar. The tracking database entry also includes at least said environmental data and the subsequent data relating to the handling of the cigar. The tracking database is configured to provide a tracking database entry associated uniquely connected with the cigar to at least two different users, where each of said at least two different users can review the tracking database entry under a different level of access.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2022Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: Chris Romine, Noah Klein, Patrick Cooley, David Robinson, Jim Kuster

Patent number: 11869674Abstract: A computational evidence platform extracts clinical concepts from medical evidence sources and creates a database of elemental diagnostic factors and elemental investigations links to medical conditions. Input from a person groups factors and investigations makes corrections and adds a ranking. Elemental factors and investigations do not include information specific to their associated conditions but include synonyms and a link to a medical ontology. A patient state is determined by extracting patient known diagnostic factors and investigation results from the patient chart. These known factors and results are matched to the database and a ranking of likely conditions are output. Next-best actions per condition are output by determining factors not yet known and investigations not yet performed. Next-best actions across conditions are determined by performing a recursive tree search of the database and assuming that unknown factors are now known to generate a score for each assumption.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2023Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Recovery Exploration Technologies Inc.Inventors: Carl Bate Tulley, Wian Stipp, Thomas Unger, David A.

Publication number: 20230337013Abstract: A technique is directed to methods and systems of virtual site inspections. In some embodiments, a network operator navigates a drone which captures image data of equipment and layout of a site. The image data is processed and used to generate a 3D model of the site. A network operator virtually installs new equipment in the virtual representation of the site, and presents the 3D model of the site, with the new equipment in the proposed location, to a permitting authority. The permitting authority can review the 3D model of the new equipment at the site and approve or deny authorization for the network operator to physically install the equipment at the site. After the new equipment is installed, a network operator can capture image data of the installed equipment at the site to prove to the permitting authority that the equipment was installed at the site according to regulation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Inventors: Mark McGarey, Zane Edwards, Brad Cole, Luis Acuna, David Robinson, Mark Beecy

Publication number: 20230287439Abstract: Provided herein are methods for integrating a gene of interest into a chromosome of a host cell. In some embodiments, the methods include introducing into a host cell a first plasmid comprising a transposase coding sequence and a donor sequence, which includes a selectable marker coding sequence flanked by a first and a second lox site and is itself flanked by inverted repeats recognized by the transposase. Following transposase-mediated chromosomal integration of the donor sequence into the host cell, a second plasmid is introduced, which comprises the gene of interest and a second selectable marker coding sequence, both flanked by a first and a second lox site. The gene of interest is chromosomally integrated into the host cell by recombinase-mediated cassette exchange (RMCE) between the donor sequence and the second plasmid via Cre-lox recombination. Further provided herein are host cells, vectors, and methods of producing a product related thereto.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2023Publication date: September 14, 2023Inventors: Yasuo YOSHIKUNI, Gaoyan WANG, Zhiying ZHAO, Robert Cameron COATES, Jan-Fang CHENG, David ROBINSON
