  • Publication number: 20230239740
    Abstract: Various approaches for the deployment and coordination of terrestrial cellular (e.g., 5G) network exclusion or mitigation zone, for the dynamic deployment of radio frequency blocking for in-motion aerial devices are described. Approaches are also described for a space-based non-terrestrial network exclusion or mitigation zone, including for maintenance or multi-constellation/multi-orbit coordination. The calculation, distribution, deployment and use of exclusion and inclusion zones are described for coordination with such a terrestrial cellular network or non-terrestrial satellite network.

  • Publication number: 20230109635
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11530044
    Abstract: Seat assemblies (200) including structural components (212, 222, 232) made of foam are described. A seat sub-assembly (210, 220, 230) can include a frame (214, 224, 234) and a foam support (212, 222, 232). The foam support (212, 222, 232) can be coupled to the frame (214, 224, 234) for receiving a load on the seat sub-assembly (210, 220, 230), dissipating at least half of the load, and dispersing the load through the frame (214, 224, 234).

  • Patent number: 11420751
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11391851
    Abstract: 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.
