Abstract: Automated control of simulcast ratios based on network traffic data provides efficient network capacity management. In one aspect, a remote switching matrix can be utilized at a venue to couple remote transceiver units (RTUs) with different antenna ports, for example, of one or more multi-beam antennas deployed at the venue. A simulcast ratio that can be utilized to support traffic demand at the venue can be determined and implemented by creating dynamic connections between the RTUs and the antenna ports. In one aspect, the simulcast ratio can be modified based on changes in network traffic at the venue that are monitored via self-organizing network devices. In addition, one or more antenna beams of the multi-beam antennas are remotely steered or rotated based on a location of the traffic.

Abstract: A collapsible, rapidly-deployable unmanned aerial vehicle includes a cylindrical structural body, a plurality of deployable mechanisms, a control unit, and a portable power source. The cylindrical structural body is dimensioned to be stored in a small space and deployed rapidly. The plurality of deployable mechanisms includes a lift-generating device for generating an upward thrust that allows the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly. Further, the plurality of deployable mechanisms can collapse to reduce the overall footprint of the cylindrical structural body, thereby allowing the unmanned aerial vehicle to be stored in a confined area. The control unit is integrated into the cylindrical structural body, whereby the control unit controls the flight of the present invention. The portable power source provides electrical energy to the electrically operated components of the unmanned aerial vehicle such as the plurality of deployable mechanisms and the control unit.

Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying and/or authenticating individuals utilizing microwave sensing modules are disclosed. A HEaRtbeat Microwave Authentication (HERMA) system can enable the active identification and/or authentication of a user by analyzing reflected RF signals that contain a person's unique characteristics related to their heartbeats. An illumination signal is transmitted towards a person where a reflected signal captures the motion of the skin and tissue (i.e. displacement) due to the person's heartbeats. The HERMA system can utilize existing transmitters in a mobile device (e.g. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Cellphone signals) as the illumination source with at least one external receive antenna. The received reflected signals can be pre-processed and analyzed to identify and/or authenticate a user.
