Patent number: 10153546Abstract: Composite radome wall structures (10) exhibit both antiballistic and radar transparency properties and include an antiballistic internal solid, void-free core (12) and external antireflective (AR) surface layers (14-1, 14-2) which sandwich the core. The antiballistic core can be a compressed stack of angularly biased unidirectional polyethylene monolayers formed of tapes and/or fibers. Face sheets (16-1, 16-2) and/or one or more impedance matching layers (27, 28) may optionally be positioned between the antiballistic core and one (or both) of the external AR layers so as to bond the core to the AR surface layer(s) and/or selectively tune the radome wall structure to the frequency of transmission and reception associated with the radar system.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2014Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: DSM IP ASSETS B.V.Inventors: Lewis Kolak, Mark Mirotznik

Publication number: 20050273479Abstract: A hardware-based acceleration platform for computational electromagnetic algorithms, specifically the finite-difference time-domain (“FDTD”) method, comprises reformulating the FDTD algorithm in order to make it more hardware friendly. This reformulation makes use of split fields at every node in the mesh, and combines total- and scattered-field formulations into a single, hybrid formulation. By precomputing coefficients for the nodes in the mesh, it is possible for a single set of equations to support plane waves, point sources, PML ABCs, and PEC walls. In the method sources are determined by means of a lookup table, rather than through direct hardware computations. All of these modifications enable the hardware designer to much more easily develop an FDTD accelerator.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2005Publication date: December 8, 2005Inventors: James Durbano, John Humphrey, Fernando Ortiz, Dennis Prather, Mark Mirotznik

Patent number: 5502386Abstract: An EPR imager and spectrometer includes pulse generating system for generating broadband pulses having an RF carrier frequency that is not highly absorbed by biological samples. The pulse generating system includes up and down chirp convertors for frequency modulating a carrier frequency pulse and compressing the frequency modulated pulse to form a broadband excitation pulse of high energy. Such a machine could form the basis of a clinical imaging device capable of high sensitivity to free radical species in human patients.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 1994Date of Patent: March 26, 1996Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Department of Health and Human ServicesInventors: John Bourg, James Mitchell, Mark Mirotznik, Bradley Roth, Sankaran Subramanian, Murali Cherukuri, Paul G.
