Patent number: 9679427Abstract: A biometric audio security system comprises providing an input voice audio source. The input audio is enhanced in two or more harmonic and dynamic ranges by re-synthesizing the audio into a full range PCM wave. A hardware key with a set of audio frequency spikes (identifiers) with varying amplitude and frequency values is provided. The enhanced voice audio input and the key using additive resynthesis are summed. The voice and the spike set is compared against the users identification signature to verify user's identity. The set of audio spikes are user specific. The spikes are stored on the protected key device as a template, which would plug into the system. The template is determined by the owner/manufacturer of the system. The spikes are created and identified using the additive synthesis technique with a predetermined number of partials (harmonics). The identifiers include both positive and negative values. The amplitude and frequency values are spaced in very fine intervals.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2014Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: MAX SOUND CORPORATIONInventors: Lloyd Trammell, Lawrence Schwartz

Patent number: 7725259Abstract: A method for calculating a trajectory of a satellite following a maneuver includes determining a first estimated trajectory of a satellite using a first sequential mode of operation; performing a thruster burn as a correction maneuver for the satellite; and providing a real-time assessment of the correction maneuver by utilizing a second sequential mode of operation. The second sequential mode of operation includes receiving a data point from an uplink/downlink facility, determining a second estimated trajectory and an estimated thruster performance of the satellite based upon the received data point, and determining a trajectory error of the satellite based upon the received data point. The method further includes repeating the second sequential mode of operation if the trajectory error is above a specified threshold level, and repeating the first sequential mode of operation if the trajectory error is below the specified threshold level.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2007Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventor: Lawrence Schwartz

Patent number: 4610496Abstract: A mechanical interlock system using ball detents for interlocking the first and second connector halves of an electrical connector assembly. In the preferred embodiment, two ball detents are utilized. The first connector half, or plug member, has recesses for receiving ball detents secured in the second connector half, or receptacle member. Slots are formed in each of the side walls of the receptacle member, each ball detent being positioned in an aperture formed between the slot and a receiving area in the receptacle member. A first portion of the surface of the ball detent extends into the slot and a second portion of the ball surface extends into the receiving area, the ball detents being secured in the aperture by a preloaded spring washer positioned in each slot. The second surface portion of each ball detent enters the recesses when the plug is inserted into the receptacle area thus forming the mechanical interlock.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 1985Date of Patent: September 9, 1986Assignee: Flight Connector CorporationInventors: Lawrence Schwartz, Jan A.
