Appl. No.:

09/734868

Inventors:

Richard Earl Miller - Mt. Laurel NJ
Robert Michael Reese - Philadelphia PA

Assignee:

Lockheed Martin Corporation - Moorestown NJ

International Classification:

H01Q 322

US Classification:

342368, 342174

Abstract:

An array of antenna elements is arranged to calibration by assigning certain ones of the elements to be âkernelâ elements. The kernel elements are coupled to the beamformer by way of a directional coupler arrangement, and calibration ports are coupled to ports of the directional coupler. Calibration includes applying signal to a first calibration port of a kernel element and determining the amplitude andor phase of the calibration signal paths. Signals are applied to the beamformer ports feeding the kernel element, and the lengths of the beamformer-plus-calibration paths are determined. From these, the beamformer paths to the kernel elements are determined. Other non-kernel antenna elements near the kernel elements are calibrated by applying signal through the beamformer to the non-kernel element, and receiving the signal through a calibration path of the kernel element.

International Classification:

H01L 2334

US Classification:

257713, 257714, 257721

Abstract:

A cooling arrangement useful for semiconductors or solid-state assemblages mounts the semiconductor or other solid-state device directly onto a first surface of a thermally conductive âheat spreader. â The heat spreader contains microchannels which open into coolant fluid ports on the second side of the heat spreader. The heat spreader, in turn, is mounted on a coolant fluid distribution or circulation plate. In one embodiment, the coolant fluid distribution plate also includes a micropump for circulating coolant fluid through the microchannels of the heat spreader. In another embodiment, the coolant fluid distribution plate simply distributes coolant applied to its fluid input port to those heat spreaders mounted thereon, and a plurality of coolant fluid distribution plates are mounted on a coolant fluid circulation plate, which uses a micropump to circulate coolant fluid to the various distribution plates and ultimately to the heat spreaders. Thus, coolant fluid is communicated directly into the support for the semiconductor chip or other solid-state device, for good heat transfer with low temperature drop. ( ).

Inventors:

Brian Alan Pluymers - Haddonfield NJ
Robert Michael Reese - Philadelphia PA

Assignee:

Lockheed Martin Corporation - Bethesda MD

International Classification:

H01Q 124

US Classification:

343702, 343700 MS

Abstract:

A generally planar active array antenna includes a plurality of transmit-receive (TR) modules arrayed in an array direction on a generally planar heat-conducting baseplate of a line-replaceable unit (LRU). Heat is coupled from the TR modules to their associated baseplate. Each baseplate of an LRU has a straight edge parallel to the array direction of the modules. In a preferred embodiment, the modules are located adjacent the straight edge without significant intermediary components. The LRUs are arrayed with their straight edges lying in a plane. The straight edges are coupled to a generally planar cold plate for extracting heat from the baseplates. Since the heat is extracted in a direction orthogonal to the arraying direction of the modules, all the modules tend to have the same operating temperature. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the circulators associated with each TR module are mounted on the opposite side of the cold plate relative to the module, to thereby minimize the thermal path length between each module and the cold plate.

Abstract:

Identifying content and authorizing sharing thereof based at least in part on extracting feature data from content to be shared and comparing this extracted feature data against a database of extracted feature data for various reference content. When the content to be shared is matched to reference content in the database, sharing may be simply rejected, or rights associated with the reference content may be inspected to facilitate determining authorization.

US Classification:

370252, 3703952, 3703954

Abstract:

A method for evaluating an end-user's subjective assessment of streaming media quality includes obtaining reference data characterizing the media stream, and obtaining altered data characterizing the media stream after the media stream has traversed a channel that includes a network. An objective measure of the QOS of the media stream is then determined by comparing the reference data and the altered data.

Abstract:

Server-side determination of quality of service received by a client. Content is transmitted from the server to the client according to a protocol. During transmission, the protocol requires the client to periodically send the server statistics concerning the transmitting, e. g. , lost packets, latency, or the like. The server simulates the network connection between the client and server based at least in part on the received statistics. The simulating allows the server to recreate, server-side, the content received by the client. The server may then compare what was sent to the client, versus the recreated received content, to determine a quality of service received by the client.
