Patents by Inventor Jerry L. Twoey

Jerry L. Twoey has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8279105
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to configuring a receiver. In some embodiments, when a receiver is executing a dwell, configuration settings for one or more next possible dwells to be executed by the receiver may be sent to the receiver. In this way, when the receiver completes execution of the current dwell, the receiver need not wait to receive configuration settings for the next dwell to be executed as they may be already loaded into the receiver.

  • Patent number: 7808421
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention are directed to generating a scan strategy based on parameters input from a user, without requiring that the user be aware of information such as the specifics of the receiver hardware or the specific signal characteristics of the emitters that are desired to be detected.

  • Patent number: 7760135
    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for associating time slices of a received signal with previously encountered time slices. A parameter determination component determines at least one parameter for each received time slice. A content addressable memory stores a plurality of parameter values associated with the previously encountered time slices. The content addressable memory is searchable such that the determined at least one parameter for each received time slice can be compared to the stored plurality of parameter values to provide a memory output. An emitter matching component associates a given received time slice with one of a plurality of emitters according to the memory output.

  • Publication number: 20080168480
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a system having multiple application programs that process signals obtained from a signal collector. In some embodiments, the signal collector may have a common API that may be shared by two or more application programs. This allows two application programs to use the same signal collector.
