Assignee:

ViaSat, Inc. - Carlsbad CA

International Classification:

H04B 7/185

US Classification:

455 121, 455 302, 455 23, 455126, 375219

Abstract:

A modular satellite transceiver is provided according to some embodiments of the disclosure. The modular transceiver may include an RF module and a back end module. The RF module may operate in a first band, and may include, for example, one or more antennas, an RF front end module, an up converter, a down converter, an analog-to-digital converter, and a digital-to-analog converter. The back end module may include various digital processing components and/or modules. The RF module may be removably coupled with the back end module such that the RF module may be replaced with another RF module operating in a second band. During transmission the back end module may provide at least one digital signal to the RF module; and during reception the RF module provides at least one digital signal to the back end module.

Abstract:

A method for communicating with a satellite using a plurality of antennas is provided according to some embodiments of the disclosure. These methods may include receiving data from the satellite using a first antenna from the plurality of antennas and determining the signal strength of the signal detected from the first antenna. Data may be transmitted to the satellite using the first antenna. A second antenna adjacent to the first antenna may partially overlap with the first antenna in coverage. The signal strength of the signal detected from the second antenna may be monitored. If the signal strength of the signal detected from the second antenna is greater than the signal strength of the signal detected from the first antenna, then data is transmitted over the second antenna.

Abstract:

An electronic health records system that allows a user to register with the electronic health records system by entering identification information and medical information. The system authorizes a user to access the electronic health records system subsequent to registering, and allows a user to obtain, responsive to a request from the user, electronic immunization records for the user from an immunization registry of a first state. The system provides the user the ability to send the certified immunization record or COVID-19 health status record to a third-party requester that requires the record by law. The system also provides third party requesters with the necessary back-end enterprise software needed to receive the certified digital immunization records from large numbers of subscribers.

Abstract:

A computing device can authenticate a user account associated with a user. The computing device can scan an area to determine a scannable identifier associated with a vaccination dose. The computing device can determine a batch number and a lot number associated with the vaccination dose based on the scannable identifier. The computing device can determine a location associated with the at least one computing device. The computing device can receive a provider confirmation code corresponding to a provider. The computing device can perform a verification that the provider confirmation code matches an assigned provider confirmation code corresponding to the provider. The computing device can associate the vaccination dose with the user account in the data store as having been given to the user.
