  • Reconfigurable, flexible multi-user electronically steered antenna (ESA) terminal
    Patent number: 11881627
    Abstract: A Reconfigurable, Flexible Multi-User (RFMU) electronically steered antenna (ESA) includes a top panel and a number of side panels that enable many contacts simultaneously with varying gain requirements from a single, in situ, installation. The top panel includes multiple subarrays and can communicate with flyover satellites, and the side panels can communicate with satellites flying past a side of the ESA. The top panel and the side panels can achieve a beam steering that covers a full or partial, variable gain, hemispheric field-of-view (FoV). The RFMU ESA terminal top and side panels are scalable using flexible modular building blocks. This enables increased contacts, increased gain or a combination thereof sized to meet desired performance.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WEB-INTEGRATED STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
    Publication number: 20110145714
    Abstract: A method and system for performing statistical analysis using a web browser includes selecting raw data for statistical analysis and specifying statistical operation(s) on the raw data. The web browser may be used to generate first program code corresponding to the statistical operation(s). After sending the first program code to a web server for execution, output data resulting from executing the first program code may be received at the web browser. The web browser may generate and display a graphical representation of the output data. The web browser may also be used to configure the graphical representation and generate second program code executable by a web browser for generating the graphical representation.
