  • Publication number: 20250131301
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining, using at least one processing device of an electronic device, information defining a combinatorial logic gate design for a combinatorial logic circuit. The method also includes generating, using the at least one processing device, one or more polynomials representing operation of the combinatorial logic gate design. The method further includes mapping, using the at least one processing device, the one or more polynomials to one or more quantum polynomials, where each quantum polynomial has terms that are orthonormal. In addition, the method includes generating, using the at least one processing device, a quantum gate logic design based on the one or more quantum polynomials, where the quantum gate logic design is functionally equivalent to or better than the combinatorial logic gate design for the combinatorial logic circuit.

  • Patent number: 12240629
    Abstract: Apparatus, computer-readable medium, and method for optimal delivery of one or more satellite effects via reverse time heat equation isomorphism including constructing a generalized formulation of the heat equation corresponding to a commander's intent for delivery of the one or more satellite effects, performing a separation of variables to decouple a plurality of variables into a plurality of corresponding separated equations, solving the plurality of separated equations to produce candidate solutions, applying boundary conditions to each candidate solution, filtering the candidate solutions to mitigate ill-posedness of solving the inverse of the heat equation, assessing formal differences between the candidate solutions and the inverse of the heat equation, and generating an optimized schedule of the one or more satellite effects based on the assessment of the formal differences of the candidate solutions.

  • Patent number: 11816012
    Abstract: Techniques for multi-domain systems integration and evaluation are disclosed, including: obtaining criteria associated with a strategic objective; determining that a first system, operating in a first operating domain, is only partially capable of satisfying a first criterion in the criteria; determining that a second system, operating in a second operating domain that is different from the first operating domain, is capable of augmenting the first system with respect to satisfying the first criterion; responsive to determining that the second system is capable of augmenting the first system with respect to satisfying the first criterion, modeling a multi-domain system including at least a first component from the first system and at least a second component from the second system; and generating a performance metric that objectively evaluates capabilities of the multi-domain system against the criteria associated with the strategic objective.

  • Patent number: 10374975
    Abstract: Discussed herein are methods, devices, and systems for providing a priority-based schedule. A method or providing a priority-based schedule can include receiving, at priority processing circuitry, for each of a plurality of nodes to be scheduled, a plurality of priority type values and a corresponding weighting factor value for each priority type value of the plurality type values, determining, at the priority processing circuitry, for each of the plurality of nodes to be scheduled, a priority total based on the received plurality of priority type values and the corresponding weighting factor values, and scheduling, using scheduler circuitry communicatively coupled to the priority processing circuitry, the plurality of nodes, such that a node of the plurality of nodes with a corresponding higher priority is allocated access to the medium before another node of the plurality of nodes with a corresponding relatively lower priority.

  • Patent number: 10069713
    Abstract: Generally discussed herein are devices, systems, and methods for determining if a master schedule will allow information to be recorded and downloaded from a node. A method can include receiving a plurality of schedules including a first schedule, a second schedule, and a list, determining, at the scheduler circuitry and based on the first schedule and the list, whether there is a threshold latency between mission data collection and downlink, determining, at the scheduler circuitry and based on the first schedule, the second schedule, and the list, whether any mission data will be overwritten in performing operations of the master schedule, and providing, by a display communicatively coupled to the scheduler circuitry, a first warning in response to determining that there is a threshold latency between mission data collection and downlink and a second warning in response to determining that mission data will be overwritten.
