Patents by Inventor Tyler Hohman

Tyler Hohman has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11579177
    Abstract: An anechoic chamber and test system that is adapted for installation in or to a vehicle. The chamber includes an outer structure that is durable enough to withstand the effects of transportation. The anechoic chamber and test system may also include an inner faraday shield, a transmission antenna, and a controller that can introduce GNSS, alternative navigation signals, jamming, or spoofing signals into the anechoic chamber along with vehicle sensor signals. The controller is adapted to monitor a GNSS system's ability to resist the jamming or spoofing signals using, at least in part, the vehicle sensor signals.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10284326
    Abstract: A system and process for determining a communication status of an environment is disclosed. Sensors in the environment acquire data about the environment, and a first subset of the data is used to compute a first penalty about the environment, which is computed using a first algorithm that includes a maximum penalty and a decay rate at which the penalty decays over time. Further, a second subset of the data is used to compute a second penalty about the environment. The second penalty is computed using a second algorithm that also includes a maximum penalty and a decay rate at which the penalty decays over time. The first and second penalties are compiled to create an overall environmental penalty that represents a current status of the environment, which is compared to a threshold. If the overall environmental penalty exceeds the threshold, then an action, including issuing an alarm, is performed.
