  • Publication number: 20240356483
    Abstract: A mounting assembly comprises a fastener that includes a bolt and a nut. The bolt includes a threaded distal end and a polygonal headed proximate end that extends along a fastener axis. The assembly also includes a mounting base, and a first reinforcement channel nested around a first base of a hat-shaped channel. The hat-shaped channel is nested around a second base of a second reinforcement channel that nests around a load distributing channel. The mounting base, the first and second reinforcement channels, the hat-shaped channel and the load distributing channel are removable with respect to the fastener along the fastener axis. The bolt is received through coaxial apertures located within the mounting base, the first and second reinforcement channels, the hat-shaped channel and the load distributing channel, such that the polygonal headed proximate end rests within a channel of the load distributing channel.

  • Publication number: 20240281465
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a reliability score for a submitted tip is provided herein. During operation, when a user anonymously submits an image to a tipping server, the tipping server determines if an imager (e.g., a camera) used to capture the image has been used to capture any past images submitted to the tipping server. If so, a reliability score is determined for the imager that is based on a reliability of the past images submitted. The reliability score is then presented to any user viewing the image.

  • Patent number: 12039517
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and techniques for enabling a communication device to communicate wirelessly with a near-field-communication (NFC)-enabled payment terminal while avoiding interference between the NFC-enabled payment terminal and other NFC payment instruments. In some instances, the communication device may receive, via a non-NFC communication protocol, a payment token from an identification device and may send, over NFC, the payment token to the NFC-enabled payment terminal for satisfying the cost of a transaction.

  • Patent number: 10454180
    Abstract: An isolation barrier for reducing coupling between a transmitting antenna on a platform and a receiving antenna on the same platform. The isolation barrier expands the isolation capabilities of radar absorbing material (RAM) to the low frequency region by integrating dielectric loaded corrugations with the RAM. The isolation barrier includes a plurality of corrugations, each including a channel with two conductive walls and a conductive base, having a depth greater than a quarter of the wavelength corresponding to the low-frequency limit of the shared operating frequency band of the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna. A layer of radar absorbing material (RAM) covers the corrugations.

  • Patent number: 9903948
    Abstract: A method for detecting a concealed material in a target comprising a body and the concealed material, the method comprising: emitting radio frequency (RF) energy toward a direction of the target, capturing a signal corresponding to a scattered RF energy reflected from the target, measuring a first mean signal level in a first frequency band of the signal, measuring a second mean signal level in a second frequency band of the signal, and detecting the concealed material when the difference between the first mean signal level and the second mean signal level is above a threshold.

  • Patent number: 9857462
    Abstract: A method for detecting a concealed object in a target. The target may include a body and the concealed object. The method may include emitting radio frequency (RF) energy toward a direction of the target, receiving a scattered RF energy reflected from the target, generating a signal corresponding to the received scattered RF energy, comparing the signal with a plurality of stored RF scattering signatures, and detecting the concealed object when the signal matches one of a plurality of RF scattering signatures. Each of the RF scattering signatures may be associated with an object of interest.

  • Patent number: 9219705
    Abstract: Lookup requests received by a domain name service (DNS) are processed based on the actual location of data associated with a requested content page rather than a domain mapping of IP addresses. A DNS server which receives a request initiates a query for the location of user data associated with the request based on an object handle contained in a domain name of the request. The location data is used to construct an IP address which is provided in response to the IP lookup request received by the DNS server. The DNS system may be used to provide IP addresses for a scaled web-based networking service, alternate versions of a service and a service implementing rolling upgrades.

  • Publication number: 20130321205
    Abstract: Disclosed subject matter is directed to techniques and systems for analyzing a system design having a phase array antenna. In at least one implementation, component models of individual components of the phased array antenna may be provided. The component models may be arranged as a multi-dimensional lookup table (LUT) in some embodiments. A single-channel model of antenna performance may be synthesized for the system design based on the component models. An analysis of the performance of the system design may then be performed using the single-channel model of antenna performance.

  • Patent number: 8561088
    Abstract: A method for registering a network application with an application programming interface (API) framework. In operation, a registrar may send a registration message that associates a namespace with the network application to the API framework. In one implementation, the namespace associated with the network application may be a uniform resource identifier. In another implementation, the registration message may specify a format of the standardized clients, a security policy, and the application resources associated with the network application.
