Patent number: 12137520Abstract: Systems and methods for educational electronics devices such as may be assembled by non-manufacturer builders, including by personal or hobbyist individuals and by groups such as clubs or classes. Methods and systems relate to Surface Mount Device (SMD) use, measurement systems, communications skill acquisition, physical construction of educational electronics, builder construction/configuration and maintenance of devices, subsystem componentry designed for effective use in educational electronics, circuit designs that permit individual builders to construct professional quality devices, and cognitively adapted methods and systems to optimize learning and performance during and after builder assembly.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2023Date of Patent: November 5, 2024Assignee: HEATHKIT COMPANY, INC.Inventors: Andrew S. Cromarty, Donald J. Peterson, Jasen Levoy, William Charles Calhoun, David Brainerd, Ann E. Cromarty, Simon A. Cromarty

Patent number: 12088023Abstract: This invention discloses two novel antenna assemblies that protect a radio antenna from the elements and permit effective stealthy use with very high performance, and corresponding manufacturing methods. It also discloses a novel assembly for reducing or eliminating radio-frequency interference among electronic equipment such as may be attached to an antenna system, and corresponding manufacturing methods, and systems and methods for model-based radiotelecommunications comprising computing control and command data from one or more multivariate models to operatively control the transmission or reception performance of radioelectronics and antenna systems by computing over the model data to achieve the best performance according to one or more transmission characteristics or user goals.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2022Date of Patent: September 10, 2024Assignee: Heathkit Company, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Scott Cromarty, Jacob H. Neugass, Jasen Levoy, William Charles Calhoun

Patent number: 11879956Abstract: Systems and methods for measurement and management provide complex measurements cost-effectively at very high accuracy. These methods and systems in some cases achieve measurement accuracy exceeding the accuracy of the reference standards they rely on, and eliminate expensive and disadvantageous recalibration procedures. The accurate measurements are integrated with management functions, applying the measurement data to meet objectives of the integrated system and workflow goals of its user. The disclosed systems and methods comprise an explicit or expressly represented model both of themselves and of candidate external systems to be measured and managed. The models may be configured and reconfigured by the owner-user through either local or remote means. The system intelligently reconfigures itself to adapt dynamically to the conditions of measurement and the user's and system's goals at each moment.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2022Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: HEATHKIT COMPANY, INC.Inventors: Andrew S. Cromarty, Donald J. Peterson, Jasen Levoy, William Charles Calhoun
