Patent number: 12088402Abstract: A Data Delivery Service (DDS) is described, which is a service in a multi-tenant environment that transmits satellite data between a satellite antenna and a user instance. The DDS transports the antenna data to a different region, which allows a user to reuse their infrastructure for multiple antenna sites, thereby, reducing their infrastructure footprint and costs. Gateway instances can be launched at scheduled times in different regions and a secure communication channel can be established between the gateway instances to establish inter-region communication.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2022Date of Patent: September 10, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Nathan Burns, Kevin Cheek, Michelle Lynn Dobbs, Matthew Sterling Leese

Patent number: 11363591Abstract: A matchmaking service can match a satellite owner/operator with antennas that are available and capable of servicing a communication request from the satellite owner/operator (e.g., to exchange data with the satellite owner/operator's satellite). The communication request may be received at a ground station service, and information included therein may be compared to capabilities of antennas registered with the ground station service to determine antennas that are compatible with the request. The ground station service may reserve a time slot for a selected compatible antenna to service the request and control the selected compatible antenna (e.g., to track and communicate with the satellite) during the time slot. In some embodiments, the matchmaking of satellite owners/operators to antennas uses models to determine communication parameters for a communication request and to determine capabilities of antennas registered with the ground station.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2020Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Prabu Ramachandran, Nathan Burns, Michelle Lynn Dobbs, Andrew Wolfe, Kevin Cheek, John Garvey, Ben Linville, Ismael Gonzales

Patent number: 6841080Abstract: A dielectric film is formed on a free-standing conductive metal layer to form a multi-layer foil comprising a conductive metal layer, a barrier layer and a dielectric oxide layer. Such multi-layer foils are mechanically flexible, and useful for the manufacture of capacitors. Examples of barrier layers include Ni—P or Ni—Cr alloys. After a second layer of conductive metal is deposited on a dielectric oxide surface opposing the first conductive metal layer, the resulting capacitor foil is processed into a capacitor. The resulting capacitor is a surface mounted capacitor or is formed as a integrated or embedded capacitor within a circuit board.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2003Date of Patent: January 11, 2005Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Angus Kingon, Gregory J. Dunn, Stephen Streiffer, Kevin Cheek, Min-Xian Zhang, Jon-Paul Maria, Jovica Savic
