Patent number: 8659424Abstract: A system to detect subsurface activity. The system employs vibration sensor pairs, with each sensor pair having a shallow sensor and a deep sensor. Outputs of the sensors of a pair are processed together and events are detected based on the relative values detected by the sensors of the pair. When signal energy departs from a detected background level, the relative amplitude and frequency content of vibrations measured at the shallow and deep sensors may be compared. The comparison may be performed, at least in part, using a classifier that discriminates between subsurface activity and surface activity. The outputs of sensor pairs may be aggregated to make a determination of whether subsurface activity exists and/or its location. Aggregation may involve comparing the outputs of the same sensor pair at multiple time intervals or may involve comparing the outputs of arrayed sensor pairs.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2010Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignees: Raytheon BBN Technologies, Corp., US Army Corps of EngineesInventors: Peter Allen Krumhansl, William Coney, Richard Mullen, Jason R.

Publication number: 20120275272Abstract: A wearable shooter localization system including a microphone array, processor, and output device for determining information about a gunshot. The microphone array may be worn by on the upper arm of the user. A second array, which may operate cooperatively or independently from the first array, may be worn on the other arm. The microphone array is sensitive to the acoustic effects of gunfire and provides a set of electrical signals to the processing unit, which identifies the origin of the fire. The system may include orientation and/or motion detection sensors, which the processor may use to either initially compute a direction to the origin of a projectile in a frame of reference meaningful to a wearer of the system or to subsequently update that direction as the wearer moves.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2012Publication date: November 1, 2012Applicant: RAYTHEON BBN TECHNOLOGIES CORP.Inventors: Richard Mullen, Richard Ciosek, Ronald A.

Publication number: 20070237030Abstract: Systems and methods for locating the shooter of supersonic projectiles are described. The system uses at least five, preferably seven, spaced acoustic sensors. Sensor signals are detected for shockwaves and muzzle blast, wherein muzzle blast detection can be either incomplete coming from less than 4 sensor channels, or inconclusive due to lack of signal strength. Shooter range can be determined by an iterative computation and/or a genetic algorithm by minimizing a cost function that includes timing information from both shockwave and muzzle signal channels. Disambiguation is significantly improved over shockwave-only measurements.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2005Publication date: October 11, 2007Applicant: BBNT Solutions LLCInventors: James Barger, Stephen Milligan, Marshall Brinn, Richard Mullen

Publication number: 20060044943Abstract: Systems and methods for locating the shooter of supersonic projectiles based on shockwave-only measurements are described. Muzzle blast signals are neither sought nor required. The system uses at least five, preferably seven, acoustic sensors that are spaced apart at least 1 meter. The sensor signals are acquired with a time resolution in the order of microseconds and processed to find and disambiguate the shockwave arrival angle unit vector. Two different Time-Difference-Of-Arrival (TDOA) measurement techniques are described, with one technique using counters in each signal channel and the other technique using cross-correlation between signal channels. A genetic algorithm can be used to efficiently disambiguate the results.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2004Publication date: March 2, 2006Applicant: BBNT Solutions LLCInventors: James Barger, Stephen Milligan, Marshall Brinn, RICHARD MULLEN

Patent number: 6367177Abstract: A trench leveling blade is movably mounted between a pair of side walls which are slotted to receive the bucket of a backhoe or other excavating machine. The blade is vertically adjustable with a hand operated jack screw. Rollers mounted in front and back of the blade support the blade during use and guide the blade during its vertical adjustment. A pair of adjustable scraper blades is provided on opposite sides of the leveling blade to clean the surface of the pavement adjoining the trench or any other surface being worked by the leveling blade.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 1999Date of Patent: April 9, 2002Inventor: Richard Mullen

Patent number: 6018164Abstract: An improved transparency sensor (10) uses Brewster's Law to detect the presence of sheets of transparency material (20). The sensor (10) includes a light emitting diode (LED) (12) and two photodiodes (14, 16) arranged to receive light reflected from the material (20). The LED (12) supplies incident light at an angle (.theta.) which is related to the refractive index of the transparency material (20) to be detected. A polarizing filter (18) is associated with one of the photodetectors (16) and is oriented to cut out substantially reflected polarized light entering that photodiode (16). Output signals from the photodetectors (14, 16) are processed in a comparator (40) which provides an output signal (42) indicating the presence or not of a transparency material (20).Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 1997Date of Patent: January 25, 2000Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventor: Richard A.
