Patents by Inventor Joseph S. McGaughey

Joseph S. McGaughey 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: 11555889
    Abstract: The present disclosure is a system comprising at least three electronically steered antennas arranged so that there is a baseline difference of a predetermined amount of wavelength between the centers of the antennas, typically configured as an obtuse or scalene triangle, where the distance between each antenna on an array is selected to provide the required accuracy and precision, the array having a timing circuit to ensure that the beam of each antenna is steered to the same azimuthal and elevation coordinates in space simultaneously. This enables the three electronically steered antennas to operate as an interferometer to determine a bearing to a target to ultimately determine the location thereof. The electronically steered antennas enable the system to be mounted on a platform in a small package that was previously difficult for traditional interferometers.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180279948
    Abstract: The system and method of pupil size independent pupillometry used for assessing critical diagnostic characteristics relating to neurotransmission and neuroactivity as applied to toxin exposure. The system and method utilizes the timing of a response to stimuli for a pupil of an individual, characterizes the timed responses, determines the latency of the timed responses, measures the minimum constriction value for the timed responses; and assesses the timed responses collected to diagnose changes in neurotransmission and neuroactivity for an individual exposed to organophosphate (OP) nerve agents or botulinum toxin (BTX).

  • Publication number: 20180279937
    Abstract: The system and method of size independent pupillometry used for assessing critical diagnostic characteristics relating to traumatic brain injury (TBI). The system and method utilizes the timing of a response to a stimuli for one or more pupils of an individual, characterizes the one or more timed responses, determines the latency of the one or more timed responses, measures the minimum constriction value for the one or more timed responses; and assesses the one or more timed responses collected to detect changes in neurotransmission and neuroactivity of an individual to assess the presence of a traumatic brain injury.
