Patents by Inventor Francesco DEVOTI

Francesco DEVOTI 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).

  • Patent number: 12003311
    Abstract: A method for establishing a direct communication using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a reconfiguration intelligent surface (RIS) includes configuring RIS parameters based on compensating for undesired oscillations of a position and an orientation associated with the UAV. A signal reflection associated with a beam signal is steered to a target area based on the RIS parameters and by the RIS of the UAV. The signal beam is from a transmitter.

  • Patent number: 11984005
    Abstract: A method passively detects intrusion in an indoor environment. The method includes: establishing at least one communication channel between two millimeter (mm)-wave devices of a plurality of mm-wave devices deployed within the indoor environment, continuously monitoring communication channel parameters of the at least one communication channel, and triggering an intrusion detection process based on variations of the communication channel parameters.

  • Publication number: 20220327927
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for enhancing road safety via on-demand virtualized road traffic sign generation. A method for generating information for display in a target object (TO) includes: receiving at least one notification message from one or more TOs; generating a situation map for a relevance zone (RZ) based on information in the at least one notification message; encoding an action matrix in a notification message, wherein the action matrix is derived based on the situation map; and transmitting the notification message to the TOs in the RZ. A system includes one or more road side units (RSUs) configured to establish a wireless communication channel with one or more TOs; and a mobile edge computing (MEC) system that includes one or more processors and is configured to implement a virtualized road traffic sign generation service.
