US Patent:

20110249706, Oct 13, 2011

Filed:

Feb 10, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/024402

Inventors:

Michael Beeler - Jefferson MD, US
Frederick Morris - Gaithersburg MD, US
Jeffery Harig - Mesa AZ, US
Cris Mamaril - Mesa AZ, US

Assignee:

COMTECH EF DATA CORP. - Tempe AZ

International Classification:

H04B 1/00

US Classification:

375146

Abstract:

A communication method for embedding a meta-carrier under an original carrier signal with reduced or minimal original carrier signal degradation, the method comprising transmitting an original carrier signal and transmitting a meta-carrier signal separate from the original carrier signal, wherein the meta-carrier signal contains information about an original carrier signal, is extractable under an interfered condition, and is transmitted such that the meta-carrier signal occupies at least a portion of a bandwidth of the original carrier signal.

Abstract:

A communication method for embedding a meta-carrier under an original carrier signal with reduced or minimal original carrier signal degradation, the method comprising transmitting an original carrier signal by a transmitter, forming a meta-carrier signal separate from the original carrier signal that contains meta-data about the original carrier signal including one or more characteristics of the original carrier signal configured for use by a receiving device to establish one or more parameters of a receiving device to receive the original carrier signal at the receiving device, and transmitting the meta-carrier signal by the transmitter separate from the original carrier signal such that the meta-carrier signal occupies at least a portion of a bandwidth of the original carrier signal.

Abstract:

A device for repelling pests includes a housing, a positioning mechanism to move the housing, at least three range-finding elements affixed to the housing along a common plane to detect a presence of a pest (e.g., an animate pest such as an animal, or an inanimate pest such as a drone) by obtaining a signal indicative of a location of the pest relative to the device, a projectile launcher affixed to the housing to fire one or more projectiles therefrom, and a controller electronically coupled to the range-finding elements, the positioning mechanism, and the projectile launcher. The controller may be configured to move the housing using the positioning mechanism until a strength of the signal obtained from each of the range-finding elements is substantially equal thereby indicating that the projectile launcher is directed toward the location of the pest, and to fire projectiles from the projectile launcher toward the pest.

International Classification:

H04W 76/02
H04W 72/04

US Classification:

455509

Abstract:

A method of provisioning a communications link between remote terminals within a hub-spoke network comprising receiving, by a first remote terminal, information about a second remote terminal from a hub, selecting, by the first remote terminal, a modulation factor, coding rate, symbol rate, center frequency, and power level based on the information received about the second remote terminal, transmitting, by the first remote terminal, a signal using at least one of the selected modulation factor, coding rate, symbol rate, center frequency, and power level, to the second remote terminal such that a communications link is created, and adjusting the modulation factor, coding rate, symbol rate, center frequency, or power level of the transmitted signal such that performance of the link is increased while maintaining a presence of the link.
