  • Publication number: 20240128656
    Abstract: The embodiment relates to the field of capturing a picture of the field of view with the same principles as a visual light camera, but with RF signals. This RF-camera uses an RF signal lens that concentrates the RF signal returned from the field of view on to a 2D array of antennas. The RF lens is achieved by a mirror lens rather than a glass lens used in visual light cameras. Mirroring RF signal is simple and mimic optical mirrors. The 2D array can be achieved by building an array of RF antennas on a silicon (or similar) chip. These antennas become smaller as the frequency increases.

  • Patent number: 11645430
    Abstract: Communication buses enable devices to communicate and exchange information and control signals. There is a growing concern over the security of such types of buses. Since any device can transmit any message, and device on the bus which can be compromised poses a threat for the bus. Described is a system to authenticate the source of messages from various devices on a communication bus.

  • Publication number: 20170249251
    Abstract: A system for monitoring of integrity of a communication bus includes a communication bus; at least one transmitter configured to generate and transmit a signal on the communication bus; at least one receiver configured to receive a signal generated by the transmitter and transmitted on the communication bus; and a database of the transmitter. The database includes at least: device identification; expected rate of data transmittance; and device relative location along the link. The receiver is configured to receive the transmitted signal as well as any reflected signals arising from non-impedance matched section in the communication bus. A fault condition is identified by the occurrence of any of: a difference of the duration of the transmitted pulse from the duration of the received pulse; a difference of the measured transmitter rate of data transmittance from the database rate of data transmission.
