  • Patent number: 10168431
    Abstract: A method and a system for reducing undesired interference in a target zone. A set of M pickup sensors pick up undesired signals in real time and generate M pickup signals, M being an integer greater than or equal to 1. A beam forming network coupled to the M pickup sensors comprises a receiving beam forming module and a transmitting beam forming module. The receiving beam forming module receives the M pickup signals and generates K beam signals, K being an integer greater than or equal to 1. The transmitting beam forming module receives the K beam signals and generates N interference signals, N being an integer greater than 1. A set of N injectors coupled to the transmitting beam forming module receives the N interference signals, respectively, and radiates the N interference signals to the target zone.

  • Patent number: 9829580
    Abstract: A system for reducing undesired interference in a target zone is disclosed. The system comprises a set of M pickup sensors, a beam forming network coupled to the M pickup sensors, and a set of N injectors coupled to the beam forming network. The M pickup sensors pick up undesired signals in real time and generate M pickup signals, M being an integer greater than or equal to 1. The beam forming network comprises a set of M beam forming modules. Each of the M beam forming modules receives a respective one of the M pickup signals and generates N intermediate signals, N being an integer greater than 1. The N intermediate signals generated by each of the M beam forming modules are combined correspondingly with remaining intermediate signals generated by remaining M?1 beam forming modules to generate N interference signals. The N injectors receive and radiate the N interference signals to the target zone.

  • Patent number: 9502022
    Abstract: A quiet zone generation technique is proposed for interference mitigation for a receive antenna by injecting the very interference signals via iterative processing, generating quiet zones dynamically for receive (RCV) antennas. The receive antenna may feature multiple receiving apertures distributed over a finite area. Optimization loops consist of four cascaded functional blocks; (1) a pick-up array to obtain the interference signals, (2) element weighting and/or repositioning processors, (3) an auxiliary transmit (XMIT) array with optimized element positions, (4) a diagnostic network with strategically located probes, and (5) an optimization processor with cost minimization algorithms. To minimize interferences between transmit (Tx) and receiving (Rx) apertures in limited space of an antenna farm for communications and/or radar applications are very tough problems.

  • Patent number: 8132503
    Abstract: A method an apparatus for fabricating an interconnection structure. A substrate is provided with a dielectric layer thereon. The dielectric layer comprises at least one opening therein. A gap-filling material is applied on the substrate filling the at least one opening. The gap-filling material is planarized using a template to create a substantially planarized surface.

Among the tools for solving the problems are many conventional techniques listed in the references [1,2,3].

  • Patent number: 6876124
    Abstract: An electrically actuated micro-mirror system is disclosed. The system has at least three supporting springs attached to a micro-mirror providing at least two rotational degrees of freedom thereof. At least two optional enhancement springs are fanned out from an associated supporting spring to secure the micro-mirror, and the micro-mirror is electro-statically actuated to rotate while the supporting springs and the enhancement springs operate primarily in a tensile mode.
