Patents by Inventor Dylan Burns

Dylan Burns 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).

  • Wideband ground penetrating radar system and method
    Patent number: 11029402
    Abstract: An improved Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system is provided. The system advantageously employs full waveform digitization of a returning signal to significantly reduce the number of launch signals and allowing the amount of radiation emitted to stay within the limit set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), while producing a robust information detection signal. In addition, intermittent large latent-duty-cycle sampling employs a less expensive digitizer typically used in prior art GPRs. The system is scalable at low-cost to accommodate multi-antenna multi-static testing for subsurface tomographic imaging.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: June 8, 2021
    Assignee: The University of Vermont and State Agricultural College
    Inventors: Dryver R Huston, Tian Xia, Dylan Burns
  • Vibrating magnet antenna
    Patent number: 10771116
    Abstract: A vibrating magnetic antenna for generating reversable magnetic dipoles is provided. Soft magnetic materials are used to project the magnetic field as the magnet moves linearly between soft magnetic stators arranged in a “Y” configuration. The soft magnetic stators include a nickel-iron alloy, having high magnetic permeability. Also provided is a magnetic coupling circuit for upshifting the frequency of the magnetic field.
