  • Patent number: 11796664
    Abstract: The present disclosure addresses a novel feedback design methodology to meet the emerging frontiers of beamforming radio frequency (RF) technology in the areas of machine learning and surveillance. The feasibility of developing adaptive waveform modulation schemes for spectrum management in radars via orthogonal wavelet concepts. With the increasing prevalence of RF spectrum bandwidth limitations, this approach of adaptive feedback waveforms addresses advanced signal processing beamforming technique for phase array RF improving overall sensing performance. The adaptive illumination waveform algorithms for enhancing detection, discrimination, and tracking is motivated from the analogy drawn between the cellular wireless communication systems and the general multi-static radar automotive systems.

  • Patent number: 11754652
    Abstract: Polarized nuclear imaging and spectroscopy systems and methods are disclosed. In some embodiments, nuclei of a radioactive substance are polarized such that the spins of the nuclei are oriented in a specific direction, to generate a polarized radioactive tracer with anisotropic gamma ray emission. The radioactive substance is selected such that the degree of anisotropy is enhanced. A tracer is introduced into a living subject for delivery to a target area of interest in the subject. The tracer is delivered such that nuclear spin relaxation of the tracer is inhibited during transport of the tracer to the target area of interest. Gamma rays from the gamma ray emission are detected, and based on the detected gamma rays and properties associated with the anisotropic gamma ray emission, imaging data and/or spectroscopic data are obtained that are associated with the tracer in the subject.
