  • Tunable radio frequency (RF) absorber and thermal heat spreader
    Patent number: 11784416
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a first layer having an RF lossy material, a second layer having the RF lossy material, and a plurality of conductive or resistive pads arranged in a planar array between the first layer and the second layer. The apparatus may also include a plurality of thermal vias, where each thermal via may correspond to one of the pads, may extend through at least the first layer, and may be formed of a thermally-conductive material. Dimensions of each pad may be selected based on a desired resonant frequency band, and the desired resonant frequency band may be associated with RF energy transmitted by at least one RF source in proximity to the apparatus.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 6, 2020
    Date of Patent: October 10, 2023
    Assignee: Raytheon Company
    Inventors: Jeremy J. Holdstock, James E. Foreman, David R. Gorman, Darrell W. Miller

  • Completely transportable erasable memory apparatus and method
    Patent number: 7570533
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for providing data storage which can be completely erased to prevent access to previously stored data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 12, 2007
    Date of Patent: August 4, 2009
    Assignee: Arrowhead Center, Inc.
    Inventors: Michael Simmons, Gregory Cooper, David R. Gorman, Tracy Hooker
  • Method and apparatus for improving network connection security with one or more cross-wired adapters
    Patent number: 7377819
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving network connection security. An adapter having a cross-wiring section which alters the pin out of the network from a standard wiring pattern to a non-standard wiring pattern is preferably connected to two or more connection points for the network.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 11, 2006
    Date of Patent: May 27, 2008
    Assignee: Arrowhead Center, Inc.
    Inventors: Gregory Cooper, David R. Gorman
  • Weight activated platform scale
    Patent number: 5141065
    Abstract: A pulse count scale includes a change of state detector circuit and an alert circuit which operate together with an electrical interrupter to detect when weight is applied on a scale platform and immediately connect power to a controller for a select interval. These circuits preserve battery power as well as providing simple operation, eliminating the requirement of actuating a separate switch prior to stepping onto the platform.
