Publication number: 20230109635Abstract: Various approaches for the deployment and use of communication exclusion zones, defined for use with a satellite non-terrestrial network (including within a low-earth orbit satellite constellation), are discussed. In an example, defining and implementing a non-terrestrial communication exclusion zone includes: calculating based on a future orbital position of a low-earth orbit satellite vehicle, an exclusion condition for communications from the satellite vehicle; identifying, based on the exclusion condition and the future orbital position, a timing for implementing the exclusion condition for the communications from the satellite vehicle; and generating exclusion zone data for use by the satellite vehicle, the exclusion zone data indicating the timing for implementing the exclusion condition for the communications from the satellite vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2021Publication date: April 6, 2023Inventors: Stephen T.

Patent number: 11420751Abstract: A multi-latch assembly may be utilized, for example, in an aircraft passenger seat to hold separately deployable components such as a tray table and secondary member for separately supporting a personal entertainment device. The multi-latch assembly can include a first latch member and a second latch member. The first latch member can include a first arm. The first latch member can further include a first shaft that extends from the first arm and that is at least partially hollow. The second latch member can include a second arm. The second latch member can further include a second shaft that extends from the second arm and that is received within the first shaft of the first latch member so that the first arm and the second arm are rotatable independently of one another.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2018Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Safran Seats USA LLCInventors: Jason K. Smith, Robert Funk

Patent number: 11391851Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide a radiation detector module for a radiation detector. A radiation detector module includes a metallic and/or metalized enclosure, a radiation sensor disposed within the enclosure, readout electronics configured to provide radiation detection event signals corresponding to incident ionizing radiation in the radiation sensor, and a cap including an internal interface configured to couple to the readout electronics and an external interface configured to couple to a radiation detector, where the cap is configured to hermetically seal the radiation sensor within the enclosure. The cap may be implemented as an edge plated printed circuit board (PCB) including a slot configured to mate with a planar edge of an open surface of the enclosure, where the slot is soldered to the planar edge of the enclosure to hermetically seal the radiation sensor within the enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2020Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: Teledyne FLIR Detection, Inc.Inventors: Hartmut Brands, Stephen W. Fleetwood, Leslie D. Hoy, Jason K. Smith, Felix J. Liang, Matthew D. Waggoner, Kyle Hawes, Jeffrey Robert Preston, Jeffrey A. Verity
