  • Publication number: 20250193770
    Abstract: Provided herein are various enhancements for establishing dynamic mesh networking across a constellation of satellites and ground stations. An example method includes obtaining a request to generate a communication network for a time interval among a constellation of satellites. The method also includes identifying one or more connectivity graphs for the constellation based on a state of the constellation during at least the time interval and applying a selected routing algorithm against the one or more connectivity graphs to generate a communication route among the constellation during the time interval. The method further includes producing a set of parameters to configure routing of the communication route among the constellation to establish the communication network for the time interval.

  • Patent number: 12327479
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for implementing air traffic control (ATC) voice communications over a digital aviation network, which allows one or more pilots on the ground to communicate with ATC controllers while piloting a UAS transiting the airspace of a particular ATC voice station. In one or more examples, a spectrum management system (or the ATC voice controller using information received from the spectrum management system) may designate a relay aircraft to relay very high frequency (VHF) ATC voice to operators/pilots on the aviation network. In one or more examples, upon initiation of voice communications by ATC to all UAS and other aircraft in a VHF service area or sector, the ATC analog voice message may be received by a VHF radio on the relay aircraft. In one or more examples, the relay aircraft may then relay the digital message to the ATC voice processor and/or base station.

  • Patent number: 12321465
    Abstract: A system for generating an identity-based Non-Fungible Token (NFT) that uses, as a least a portion of the input file, a verified identity of the user. Once generated, the identity-based NFT is stored within a distributed trust computing network, which provides for verifying the authenticity and unalerted state of the NFT. Subsequently, the identity-based NFT can be accessed via the distributed trust computing network to verify the identity of the user. Additionally, the NFT may use other verified data as a portion of the input file, such as verified identity of users having a familial relationship with the user, verified life events, and/or verified user preferences. Further, the NFT may include one or more markers that identify a familial relationship and are configured to link the NFT to other NFTs associated with the related users.

  • Publication number: 20250170850
    Abstract: Multi-part processes and device with elongated flat members for line end-points, which together can divide a straight or curved line of unknown length into specified numbers of equal sub-parts. This invention significantly extends beyond the limited abilities of various devices and construction techniques, including geometric constructions used over millennia, to subdivide a line into equal sub-parts. The length of any straight-line in a plane can be subdivided into any specified positive natural number of equal sub-parts. The length of any 360° or less arc of a circle in a plane and its subtending central angle(s) can be subdivided into any specified positive integer number of equal sub-parts. Each of the four angles formed when two straight-lines intersect in a plane can be subdivided into any specified positive natural number of equal sub-parts. The specified number for subdivision may be any even or odd positive whole number, including a positive prime number.

  • Patent number: 12315378
    Abstract: Presented herein are systems and methods for operating a flight plan based distributed ledger system implemented on an aviation communications network. According to an aspect, data associated with communication transmissions occurring between communications elements of the aviation communications network may be recorded on the distributed ledger system. The communications elements involved in the distributed ledger system may be determined using a received flight plan. The flight plan information may be used to initialize the ledger information at each communications element involved in the distributed ledger system. The distributed ledger system may be updated to add or remove communications elements if the flight deviates from the original flight plan. After the flight plan is executed, the distributed ledger system may inactivate the ledger and store the ledger information in a centralized repository.

  • Publication number: 20250168428
    Abstract: A secure video transmission system and method comprises a secure network that is connected to a distribution network through a firewall. The secure network is adapted to transmit video data to the distribution network that can in turn transmit the video data to an end user after receiving a request for video URL. Video data can be accessed by an external user without directly accessing the video data sources. The firewall does not permit any devices in the distribution network to initiate a connection to any devices on the secure network.

  • Patent number: 12289304
    Abstract: A system for communicating email messages using tokens receives a request to send an email message to a receiver. The email message is associated with a sender's email address. The system determines whether the sender's email address is associated with a token from a plurality of tokens stored in a token-email address mapping table. The system generates a particular token for the sender's email address in response to determining that the sender's email address is not associated with a token, where the particular token uniquely identifies the sender's email address. The system sends the email message using the particular token instead of the sender's email address, such that the sender's email address remains anonymous from the perspective of the receiver.
