Publication number: 20130083960Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention provide a function centric data system that reduces avionics system weight and power requirements. In some embodiments, the function centric data system is housed in a vibration resistant package. A variety of functions typically performed by other avionics systems are incorporated into the system, allowing centralize power and processing management, reducing weight and improving system reliability. In some embodiments, the function centric data system is configured to provide high rate data sampling, allowing ground stations to apply sophisticated failure prediction algorithms, reducing maintenance costs and mean time between flights. Embodiments include methods of wireless networking with automatic hand offs and adaptive multi-hop topologies to allow this data to be promptly transferred when the aircraft lands. Embodiments also include methods for data processing to predict imminent failures using Bayesian statistics and catastrophe prediction methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2011Publication date: April 4, 2013Inventors: Andrew Kostrzewski, Sookwang Ro, Kang Lee, Thomas Forrester, Tomasz Jannzon

Patent number: 8378277Abstract: An optical impact system controls munitions termination through sensing proximity to a target and preventing effects of countermeasures on false munitions termination. Embodiments can be implemented on in a variety of munitions such as small and mid caliber that can be applicable in non-lethal weapons and in weapons of high lethality with airburst capability for example and in guided air-to-ground and cruise missiles. Embodiments can improve accuracy, reliability and lethality of munitions depending on its designation without modification in a weapon itself and make the weapon resistant to optical countermeasures.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2010Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: Physical Optics CorporationInventors: Sergey Sandomirsky, Vladimir Esterkin, Thomas C. Forrester, Tomasz Jannson, Andrew Kostrzewski, Alexander Naumov, Naibing Ma, Sookwang Ro, Paul I. Shnitser

Patent number: 8004409Abstract: An information carrier in a preferred embodiment is worn like a dog-tag and carries data such as medical information. The tag operates wirelessly, communicating with a nearby reader which interrogates the tag with a selected combination of RF signal frequencies. Extremely long term battery usage is achieved by connecting the battery in the tag only when the proper combination of RF signals, each at least at a minimum threshold power level, is received at the tag to produce a trigger voltage in activation logic to close a solid state switch. After a sequence of communications between the reader and the tag is then completed to transfer selected data from the memory, the battery is again disconnected to preserve battery energy for very long periods of time. The battery may be slowly recharged by ambient energy using a scavenging antenna array.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2007Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Assignee: Physical Optics CorporationInventors: Andrew Kostrzewski, Tomasz Jannson, Shean T.

Patent number: 7336299Abstract: A panoramic annular lens system (PAL), a unitary video camera and a PC-based software system that unwraps a 360° video image into a seamless, distortion free horizontal image image in real time. The PAL system of the preferred embodiment has a 360° horizontal field of view and a 90° vertical field of view in a 40 mm diameter compact package. The invention is not limited to any particular type of lens system. In fact, there are numerous lens systems for providing a 360° panoramic view. The video camera may be a CCD or CMOS based device having a pixel resolution of either 1280×1024 (high resolution) or 720×480 (NTSC). The unwrapping system is a radiometric ray tracing program carried out using a computer's graphics card capabilities to produce highly efficient regional transformation while minimizing software overhead. The result is real time, high resolution 30 fps conversion from a spherical distorted image to a flat panoramic image in Cartesian coordinates.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2004Date of Patent: February 26, 2008Assignee: Physical Optics CorporationInventors: Andrew A Kostrzewski, Sookwang Ro, Il'ya Agurok, Mark Bennahmias

Publication number: 20020150123Abstract: A method for transmitting low bit rate multimedia content can include separately encoding corresponding audio and video packets that represent the multimedia content and generating a system media stream comprising the corresponding audio and video packets. A network communication rate indicating a bandwidth available for transmitting the system media stream can be compared to a media transmission rate indicating a bandwidth needed to transmit the system media stream. The media transmission rate can be adjusted upon on a determination that the media transmission rate is greater than the network communication rate. The system media stream then can be decoded and presented at a remote location.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2002Publication date: October 17, 2002Applicant: Cyber Operations, LLCInventor: Sookwang Ro
