  • Publication number: 20230038570
    Abstract: Technologies for physical address aliasing include an alias server, an owner device, and a consumer device in communication over a network. The owner device submits an alias identifier and a physical address to the alias server. The alias server associates the alias identifier and the physical address in a secure address database. The alias identifier may be a human-readable unique identifier. The consumer device submits a request including the alias identifier to the alias server. The alias server authenticates the consumer device, retrieves the physical address associated with the alias identifier, and sends a response based on the physical address to the consumer device. The response may be generated based on an access role associated with the consumer device. The response may include the physical address, a lower-resolution address based on the physical address, or confirmation of validity of the alias identifier. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 6169518
    Abstract: A dual beam monopulse antenna system includes a flat plate antenna (10). The antenna (10) comprises a plurality of slotted waveguides (20) which transmit radiation through slots (28). The antenna is divided into quadrants (12, 14, 16, 18) for monopulse operation. Each of the quadrants is provided with primary and secondary feed lines which are connected through directional couplers (42-136) to connecting lines (146-192) to the slotted waveguides (20). The primary feed lines (26, 28, 30, 32) are connected to a primary monopulse comparator network and the secondary feed lines (34, 36, 38, 40) are connected to a secondary monopulse comparator network. The summation terminals of the monopulse comparator networks are connected to a switch network (322). The azimuth differential terminals of the monopulse comparator networks are connected to a switch network (332). The elevation differential terminals of the monopulse comparator networks are connected to a switch network (342).

  • Patent number: 4256275
    Abstract: A homing system is provided for guiding a missile (10) towards a metal target. The metal target is illuminated by a radar unit (12) with a transmitted RADAR signal of predetermined frequency. The target reflects the RADAR signal and produces HARMONIC signals having frequencies that are harmonic with the predetermined frequency. An antenna (14) is mounted in the missile for receiving signals, including the HARMONIC signals produced by the target. A wave guide bandpass filter (18) receives signals from the antenna and passes selected HARMONIC signals to a filter output. A detector (34) is responsive to selected HARMONIC signals passed by the filter (18) to produce STRENGTH signals proportional to the signal strength of the selected HARMONIC signals. The STRENGTH signals are received by an error circuit (48) that produces ERROR signals indicating the direction of the target relative to the missile (10).
