  • Patent number: 9157852
    Abstract: A system for detecting explosive materials. The system includes radiated high power electromagnetic radiation at one or more frequencies in the millimeter wave spectrum or above to interact with a sample and be reflected therefrom. The system also includes at least one electromagnetic sensor to measure emissions at harmonic frequencies and characteristics unique to one or more explosive materials. The system also includes a processor to collate and maintain a lookup table to identify specific explosive material types.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9079555
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to transmit a range of frequencies targeting a vehicle, monitoring performance of an engine of the vehicle, determining a first frequency in the range of frequencies that disrupts operation of the engine, and dwelling on the first frequency to disrupt the engine, reducing power and continuing to dwell at the first frequency to maintain disruption of the engine.

  • Patent number: 8805297
    Abstract: An electronic circuit combines two or more individual wideband RF receivers or transceiver band circuits to produce a usable instantaneous bandwidth that is wider than the bandwidth of the individual band circuits. The electronic circuit overcomes the difficulties of combining bands to provide low signal distortion across the band edges and throughout the combined instantaneous bandwidth of the two or more individual band circuits. This electronic circuit utilizes an amplitude, time delay, and phase adjustment procedure that uses associated adjustable circuitry to eliminate misalignments between the two or more individual band circuits.

  • Publication number: 20120072127
    Abstract: A system for detecting explosive materials. The system includes electromagnetic radiation at more than one frequency in the millimeter wave spectrum to stimulate the sample. The system also includes at least one electromagnetic radiation sensor to measure emissions at frequencies and characteristics unique to each high explosive (HE) sample. The system also includes a processor to collate and maintain a lookup table to identify specific HE types.

  • Patent number: 8116966
    Abstract: A low power remote vehicle stopper with feedback that can disable a moving vehicle with low power microwave interruption signal. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a system for disrupting an internal combustion engine is provided. The system includes a receiver for wirelessly receiving an emitted signal from the internal combustion engine, the emitted signal corresponding to an operational parameter of the internal combustion engine, a signal generator for generating an interruption signal in accordance with the emitted signal, and a transmitter for transmitting the interruption signal to disrupt an operation of the internal combustion engine.

  • Patent number: 4193576
    Abstract: A self-flushing ball seal disconnect coupling assembly for use in field irrigation systems, or other fluid distribution systems, comprises two parts which mate together axially. The first part, which contains a valve ball, is connected to the lateral, or field supply line, or other fluid supply line. The ball is urged by spring fingers and fluid pressure toward a sealing position, which it assumes when the first part is disconnected from the second part, the latter having a nose member which, under coupling conditions, pushes the ball off its seat thereby releasing flow of fluid through the coupling assembly. A clamping ring assembly surrounds the abutting ends of the first and second parts and locks said parts in axially aligned mating positions. The second part is connected to an upright, or irrigation head, or other element to be supplied with fluid.
