Patent number: 11728575Abstract: The present application discloses a VICTS antenna based on an RGW structure, comprising an RGW feeding layer and a radiation layer arranged in sequence, wherein the RGW feeding layer comprises an RGW power splitter and a dielectric substrate for slow wave design, and the RGW power splitter is arranged under the dielectric substrate, wherein a power splitting network cover plate is arranged between the RGW feeding layer and the radiation layer, wherein the RGW power splitter comprises a feeding network and a waveguide feeding port, through which signals are input into the feeding network; the radiation layer is composed of a plurality of CTS arrays. During signal transmission, the signals are input into the feeding network through the waveguide port, and then the signals are fed into each CTS array by the feeding network; the radiation layer is configured to rotate.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2023Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Chengdu Guoheng Space Technology Engineering Co., Ltd.Inventors: Zhongchao Luo, Tianrui Zheng, Renbing Huang, He Cai, Ran Mo, Fawen Rong, Zhiqing Wang

Patent number: 11687333Abstract: Enabling quick feature delivery is essential for product success and is therefore a goal of software architecture design. But how may we determine if and to what extent an architecture is “good enough” to support feature addition and modification, or determine if a refactoring effort is successful in that features may be added more easily? The applications may use Feature Space and Feature Dependency, derived from a software project's revision history that capture the dependency relations among the features of a system in a feature dependency structure matrix (FDSM), using features as first-class design elements. The applications may also use a Feature Decoupling Level (FDL) metric that may be used to measure the level of independence among features.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2019Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignees: Drexel University, University of HawaiiInventors: Yuanfang Cai, Ran Mo, Frederick Kazman

Patent number: 11422800Abstract: Groups of architecturally connected files may incur and accumulate high maintenance costs as architectural debts. To quantify such debts, architectural debt, which is a term used herein, may be identified, quantified, measured, and modeled. A history coupling probability matrix for this purpose may search for architecture debts through the lens of 4 patterns of prototypical architectural flaws shown to correlate with reduced software quality. Further, a new architecture maintainability metric—Decoupling Level (DL)—measures how well the software can be decoupled into small and independently replaceable modules. The DL metric opens the possibility of quantitatively comparing maintainability between different projects, as well as monitoring architecture decay throughout software evolution.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2016Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Drexel UniversityInventors: Yuanfang Cai, Lu Xiao, Frederick Kazman, Ran Mo

Patent number: 10326382Abstract: Disclosed is a phase-shifted square wave modulation technique for single-phase and three-phase IM2DC applications in HVDC/MVDC systems. A square wave based modulation waveform is applied to each cell of IM2DC and compared to the phase-shifted carrier waveforms to generate device gate signals. As a result, a higher equivalent switching frequency can be achieved, and square wave based arm and AC link waveforms will be generated. In addition, power flow of IM2DC can be controlled by a phase shift angle of the square modulation waveforms between HVS and LVS. The converter cell capacitors can be reduced in size because they are only required to smooth high switching frequency ripple components. In addition, lower TDR can be achieved due to the higher power transferring capability of square waves.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2018Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: The Florida State University Research FoundationInventors: Hui Li, Ran Mo, Yanjun Shi
