Patent number: 11920886Abstract: A weapon is capable of firing cased telescoped (CT) ammunition rounds. The weapon includes a barrel, a chamber member that defines a chamber configured to hold a CT round for firing from the weapon, a non-rotating carrier body, and linkage. The linkage is constructed and arranged to move the chamber member (i) from a firing position in which the chamber member is aligned with the barrel for firing the CT round to an ejection/loading position in which the chamber member is not aligned with the barrel for ejecting a spent CT round and receiving a next CT round in response to the non-rotating carrier body moving away from the barrel, and (ii) from the ejection/loading position to the firing position in response to the non-rotating carrier body moving toward the barrel.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Textron Systems CorporationInventors: Joshua Stephen Ruck, Brandon Scott Recchia, Bradford Timothy Jones, Benjamin Tyler Cole, Petro Romanovych Khoma, Mark Timothy Fellows, Madeline Claire Spurlock

Publication number: 20230418959Abstract: Apparatus and method for executing hidden computational functions in a distributed data processing environment. In some embodiments, a trust boundary includes a target device such as a storage device, and a source device such as a client device in a computer network. A storage device processor executes a hidden command function (HCF) routine to accumulate HCF output data in a local cache responsive to an HCF command received from the client device over a data interface. The processor further establishes a smaller retention boundary within the trust boundary that includes the storage device and excludes the client device. The HCF output data are stored locally in a non-volatile memory (NVM) of the storage device while not transferring any portion of the HCF output data outside the retention boundary, including to the client device. The HCF routine can update a block-chain ledger or take some other form to provide data security.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2022Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Marc Timothy Jones, David Jerome Allen, Steven Williams, Jason Matthew Feist

Publication number: 20230418507Abstract: A distributed data storage system may connect a host to a device and a dedication module. The dedication module can identify a manufacturing origin of the device before dedicating a type of host-generated data access request to the device. The type of host-generated data access request is chosen by the dedication module in response to an operating capability correlated to the device by the dedication module based on the identified manufacturing origin. At least one host-generated request of the dedicated type is then completed with the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2022Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Hemant Vitthalrao Mane, Jason Matthew Feist, Praveen Viraraghavan, Robert W.

Publication number: 20230418525Abstract: A distributed data storage system can be configured with a host connected to a device and a distribution module. The distribution module identifies a manufacturing origin of the device and diverts a system operation from an upstream component connected to the distribution module to the device in response to the identified manufacturing origin of the device. The manufacturer installed operating parameters of the device are then used to complete the system operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2022Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Hemant Vitthalrao Mane, Jason Matthew Feist, Praveen Viraraghavan, Robert W.

Publication number: 20230418685Abstract: Method and apparatus for offloading upstream processing tasks to peer groups of downstream data storage devices. A peer control circuit forms a peer group of storage devices in response to a detected processing bottleneck associated with a network controller. One of the storage devices in the peer group is designated as a primary device, and is responsible for interface communications, for subdividing the processing task for execution by secondary devices in the peer group, and coordinating overall execution. The peer group and the processing task are selected to avoid or minimize the processing bottleneck at the network controller level while maintaining ongoing data transfer performance at the storage device level. A list of available device resources and capabilities may be maintained by the peer control circuit. Offloaded tasks can include data rebuilds, cryptographic functions, new device authentication operations, and the like. Multiple overlapping peer groups can be formed as needed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Jason Wayne Kinsey, Hemant Vitthalrao Mane, Niranjan Anant Pol, Marc Timothy Jones, Jason Matthew Feist

Patent number: 11809323Abstract: Apparatus and method for maintaining real-time coherency between a local cache of a target device and a client cache of a source device during execution of a distributed computational function. In some embodiments, a source device, such as a host computer, is coupled via a network interface to a target device, such as a data storage device. A storage compute function (SCF) command is transferred from the source device to the target device. A local cache of the target device accumulates output data during the execution of an associated SCF over an execution time interval. Real-time coherency is maintained between the contents of the local cache and a client cache of the source device, so that the client cache retains continuously updated copies of the contents of the local cache during execution of the SCF. The coherency can be carried out on a time-based granularity or an operational granularity.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2022Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Marc Timothy Jones, David Jerome Allen, Steven Williams, Jason Matthew Feist

Publication number: 20230333149Abstract: Fractional Fourier Transform (FrFT)-based spectrum analyzers and spectrum analysis techniques are disclosed. Rather than using the standard Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), the FrFT may be used to view the signal content contained in a particular bandwidth. Usage of the FrFT in place of the frequency or time domain allows viewing of the signal in different dimensions, where “spectral” features of interest, or signal content, may appear where they were not visible in these domains before. This may allow signals to be identified and viewed in any domain within the continuous time-frequency plane, and may significantly enhance the ability to detect and extract signals that were previously hidden under interference and/or noise, provide or enhance the ability to extract signals from a congested environment, and enable operation in a signal-dense environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Applicant: The Aerospace CorporationInventors: Seema Sud, Timothy Jones
