Patent number: 9912060Abstract: Embodiments of present inventions relate to low-profile, tapered cavity broadband antennas. One important aspect of the invention (although not the only) is the incorporation of a tapered lateral sidewalls in the antenna cavity. More particularly, according to various embodiments, a low-profile, tapered cavity antenna may comprise: an aperture defining an opening to a cavity; and an interior space defined by the cavity which is formed of a flat bottom wall defining a ground plane, and a pair of spaced-apart, tapered lateral sidewalls extending away from the flat bottom wall in opposite directions toward the aperture. The tapered shape of the tapered lateral sidewalls are specifically configured to maintain a constant resonance frequency within the cavity. In some embodiments, an isotropic high index medium material is at least partially loaded within the tapered cavity. Also, antenna may include a single or two-input port.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2015Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Gregory A.

Patent number: 9152602Abstract: A pseudo-agent is disclosed herein that bridges this divide. For purposes of the discussion herein, a pseudo-agent is a machine that is installed on a fully capable host machine, such as a Windows or UNIX machine, and that gathers and evaluates content from a management server, takes actions if so instructed, and reports the results of its evaluation upstream. However, unlike an agent in a traditional management system, which inspects and acts on the local machine, the pseudo-agent actually inspects and acts on a remote device, or many remote devices.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2012Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Lisa Ellen Lippincott, Peter James Lincroft, Peter Benjamin Loer, Jeremy Scott Spiegel, Dennis Sidney Goodrow, Gregory Mitchell Toto
