Patent number: 11994598Abstract: A receiver is provided for use with a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) comprising multiple satellites. The receiver comprises a receiver clock and at least one antenna for receiving multiple signals over multiple respective channels, each channel being defined by a transmitting satellite and a receiving antenna at opposing ends of the channel. The receiver further comprises at least one correlator for calculating cross-correlation functions between (i) the signals received over the multiple channels and (ii) reference versions of the navigation signals provided by the receiver. The receiver is configured to use the calculated cross-correlation functions to perform a joint estimate of (i) a clock bias of the receiver clock relative to the time reference maintained by the GNSS, and (ii) a composite channel comprising the combined contribution of the multiple channels as a function of time-delay.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2018Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCYInventor: Jose Antonio Garcia Molina

Publication number: 20240165587Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of microporous carbon materials to perform selective separations of nitrogen in gas mixtures such as hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, methane and C2, C3 and C4+ hydrocarbons, with high efficiency, shaped of microspheres or cylinders from copolymers of poly (vinylidene chloride-co-methyl acrylate) with density of 1.3 to 1.85 g/cm·sup·3 or poly (vinylidene chloride-co-vinyl chloride) with density of 1.3 to 1.85 g/cm.sup.3, using two stages. The first stage consists of a surface passivation of the material by chemical attack in a highly alkaline alcohol solution, with the aim of effecting a precarbonization on the surface of the copolymer that during the pyrolysis process is not deformed and gradually develops microporosity. The material of the first stage presents, in the layer, percentages between 55% to 85% carbon, between 5% to 20% oxygen, and between 10% to 40% chlorine.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2024Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: FEDERICO JESUS JIMENEZ CRUZ, JOSE LUIS GARCIA GUTIERREZ, JOSE FRANCISCO GASPAR SILVA SANCHEZ, LILIANA ALEJANDRA ASTUDILLO LOPEZ LENA, FIDENCIO HERNANDEZ PEREZ, ALBERTO CABRALES TORRES, MARIA DEL CARMEN MARTINEZ GUERRERO, MARCO ANTONIO DOMINGUEZ AGUILAR, ARTURO TREJO RODRIGUEZ, FLORENTINO RAFAEL MURRIETA GUEVARA
