Patents by Inventor Laura R. Fontaine

Laura R. Fontaine 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: 11533633
    Abstract: A method for frequency planning of a proposed microwave system is provided. The method includes receiving data regarding the proposed microwave system. The method further retrieves site-specific interference data from a database for a region around the proposed microwave system. The method also presents a graphical representation of frequency availability based on the received data and the retrieved data. When a user input is received, the method provides additional details on potential interference levels.

  • Patent number: 11307234
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of estimating electromagnetic field data. The method comprises: identifying at least one electromagnetic field source in a geographical region; identifying at least one transmission model for the at least one electromagnetic field source based upon electromagnetic field data corresponding to the at least one electromagnetic field source; identifying at least one propagation model for the at least one electromagnetic field source based upon the electromagnetic field data and geographical terrain of the geographical region; and generating electromagnetic field estimates based upon the electromagnetic field data, the at least one transmission model and the at least one propagation model.

  • Patent number: 11095377
    Abstract: Techniques for more effectively and efficiently obtaining current morphology data are described. Measurement data is transmitted by user equipment to a central location such as a communication network or another entity such as in remote servers, e.g. the cloud. The recipient of such data, or a third party that receives such data from the recipient, utilizes the data, e.g. signal strength measurements and related data, to determine morphology data for corresponding geographic locations, e.g. altitude, longitude, and latitude.
