Patent number: 11956294Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for analyzing different media to determine if the media originated from the same source. A two-part analysis is provided. During the first part, target data streams are analyzed to determine a template for the data stream or file, based upon the encoder used to encode the media transmitted in the data stream or stored in a file. After generating templates for the different streams, the templates are compared to determine which streams have matching templates. The second part of the analysis includes monitoring streams with matching templates to identify the same piece of media content in each of the streams. Upon identifying the same content, the content of each stream is synchronized and then compared to determine if the compared pieces of content were generated using the same encoder.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: NAGRASTAR LLCInventor: Michael Augustin Busch

Publication number: 20240097727Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with an antenna, a receiver, and baseband circuitry coupled to the receiver over a digital interface. The receiver may receive radio-frequency signals using the antenna and may generate digital in-phase and quadrature-phase (I/Q) samples from the radio-frequency signals. The I/Q samples may have a bit width and may be transmitted to the baseband circuitry over the digital interface. The baseband circuitry may evaluate a radio condition of the receiver based on the I/Q samples. The baseband circuitry may adjust the bit width of the I/Q samples based on the radio condition. For example, the baseband circuitry may decrease the bit width when wireless performance metric data falls below a threshold and/or may increase the bit width when the wireless performance metric data exceeds a threshold. This may minimize power consumed by the digital interface without sacrificing wireless performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Thomas Hauser, Joachim Wehinger, Michael Weber, Andreas Augustin

Publication number: 20050151672Abstract: A method and apparatus for tactile cueing of aircraft controls (21) is disclosed. The apparatus of the present invention warns pilots of approaching limits on certain aircraft performance parameters. The most common warnings are for rotor speed exceeding a moving limit. The present invention uses tactile cueing through the collective stick (21). Tactile cueing means that the pilot does not need to scan the intruments to ascertain proximity to the aforementioned limits. Instead, the pilot can operate the aircraft within proper limits by touch, while maintaining situational awareness outside of the cockpit (20). The method and apparatus of the present invention provides customary friction resistance up to a limit position that is continuously updated. According to the present invention, continued motion of the collective (21) in a direction beyond that limit position results in a breakout force and an increasing resistive force.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2003Publication date: July 14, 2005Inventors: Michael Augustin, Allen Bertapelle, Mark Dreier, Bradley Linton, William McKeown, Robert Yeary

Patent number: 6568876Abstract: A drilling device has a carriage (1) on which a drilling member (22) can be removably mounted. In a receiving region, the carriage (1) has a tightening lever (4) that can be swiveled, with its first end area having a tightening surface (5) that interacts with a clamping surface (21) of a connection region of the drilling member (22). The second end area of the tightening lever (4) interacts with a tightening element (9) that keeps the tightening lever (4) under tension of a spring so that the drilling member (22) is firmly pressed against the carriage (1). Using the two release levers (15), the tightening element (9) can be moved into a release position in which the tightening lever (4) can be swiveled into the release position and the tightening element (9) lies against a retention surface (13) on the tightening lever (4). When a drilling member (22) is secured on the carriage (1), the tightening lever (4) is automatically swiveled into a tightened position and locked the tightening element (9).Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2001Date of Patent: May 27, 2003Assignee: Hilti AktiengesellschaftInventor: Michael Augustin
