  • Patent number: 10922951
    Abstract: Various embodiments associated with a heads-up display capable of functioning while underwater are described. An underwater mask can have a segment that a diver sees through and this segmented can be augmented with various portions that disclose information to the diver. These portions can relate to the diver herself or relate to other information such as the location of a source transmitting a signal. With these portions the diver can quickly learn about important information and act on that information.

  • Patent number: 10680676
    Abstract: Various embodiments associated with signal conversion while underwater are described. A source can transmit an alternating current signal with a relatively high frequency over a relatively long distance. The alternating current signal with the relatively high frequency can be converted to an alternating current signal with a relatively low frequency. An example of this conversion can be done by converting the alternating current signal with the relatively high frequency into a direct current signal. The direct current signal can then be converted into the alternating current signal with the relatively low frequency. The alternating current signal with the relatively low frequency can be transmitted from a transmission coil to a pick-up coil. After reception by the pick-up coil the alternating current signal with the relatively low frequency can be processed, such as processed to determine a direction of the source of the alternating current signal with the relatively high frequency.

  • Patent number: 10320467
    Abstract: Various embodiments are described that relate to radio beamforming waveform transmission. Transmission can occur, for example, in three manners. The first manner is time-based where waveform transmission is staggered at the same frequency. The second manner is frequency-based where different frequencies are used at one time. This third manner is a combination of time and frequency such that simultaneous transmission occurs, but at different times different frequencies are used.

  • Patent number: 10079430
    Abstract: Various embodiments are described that relate to an antenna mount. Multiple antennas can be mounted on the antenna mount. These antennas can work together or be independent of one another. In an example of working together, one antenna can be a transmission antenna while the second antenna can be a reception antenna. The transmission antenna and reception antenna can function with regard to the same communication signal.

  • Publication number: 20150227641
    Abstract: Various embodiments are described that relate to production of an array pattern and an element pattern for an antenna. A user can enter input parameters by way of a computer interface and based on these input parameters the array pattern and element pattern can be produced. The array pattern and the element pattern are produced such that a monitoring apparatus does not identify the antenna as an object of interest when the antenna is implemented with the element pattern and the array pattern.
