1246658211/11/2025AGNIKUL COSMOS PRIVATEChennai, Combined launch vehicle and satellite systemA combined launch vehicle and satellite system relates to the satellite combined with the launch vehicle's upper stage to provide a more efficient system that includes tank separation technology which allows the satellite system to shed tanks that have used up all the propellants stored therein. The method separation of the tank set is enabled by using a merman band or pneumatic type of separation system; wherein the three bottom tanks are emptied first during the process, followed by the separation of the emptied tanks herein the fuel is completely filled in the second set of tanks. The first...
1246753311/11/2025TEAM IndustriesBagley, MNHigh-low shifting active torque management continuously variable transmission systemA high-low shifting active torque management continuously variable transmission (CVT) system is provided. A primary pulley of a CVT is in operational communication with an engine. A high variable torque limiting clutch and a low variable torque limiting clutch selectively couple torque between a secondary pulley of the CVT and at least one drive axle of a vehicle when the vehicle when respectfully activated. The high variable torque limiting clutch and the low variable torque limiting clutch are configured to dynamically adjust a respective slippage threshold to above a then current output tor...
1246800611/11/2025Booz Allen HamiltonMcLean, VAMethod for detection and geolocation of target device in 3D spaceMethods and devices for detection and geolocation of a target device in three-dimensional space are provided. A method may include capturing baseline information in an area of operation and receiving information associated with one or more detected signals from a target device within the area of operation. The one or more detected signals from the target device include information indicating a device identifier associated with the target device. The method may include filtering the baseline information from the one or more detected signals from the target device based on the indicated device i...
1246996211/11/2025FlexitechOrlando-Kissimmee, FLDeployable support structure for space-based satellite antennasA support structure for space-based antennas. The structure includes a boom and core and spacer boards disposed along a length of the boom. The boom extends through an opening in each board. Antenna elements are attached to core boards. A top board is rotatably affixed to a first end of the boom and a bottom board affixed to a base surface of a stow tube in which all the elements are stored prior to deployment. A material of the antenna elements comprises a flexible material, allowing the elements to be stowed in a restricted volume of the stow tube prior to deployment into an operational conf...
1246996411/11/2025ViasatSan Diego-Carlsbad-San Marcos, CAAntenna with low-cost steerable subreflectorMethods of antenna pointing and antenna assemblies implementing those methods are disclosed. An example method includes providing a user terminal antenna assembly including an antenna and an auto-peak device. The antenna includes a reflector, a subreflector, and a feed, the feed oriented relative to the reflector and the subreflector to produce a beam. The antenna further includes a tilt assembly to tilt the subreflector relative to the reflector and the feed. The method further includes providing a control signal to tilt the subreflector in a plurality of tilt positions to move the beam while...
1246996511/11/2025Hughes Network SystemsWashington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WVHybrid scanning antennaA hybrid scanning antenna including: a reflector having a focal line; a first mechanical movement to move the reflector about a first axis; a second mechanical movement to move the reflector about a second axis; a linear array fixedly disposed along the focal line to electronically scan at a scan angle about a third axis; and a controller to control the first mechanical movement, the second mechanical movement and the scan angle of the linear array to orient the hybrid scanning antenna to a look angle of a remote transceiver....
1247028511/11/2025ZHEJIANG LABHangzhou, Method and device for improving pipeline safety for space-terrestrial network architectureA method and a device for improving pipeline safety of a space-terrestrial network architecture. The method pre-registers the profile of a base station in the network repository function network element of a 5G core network; after receiving a relay pipeline connection establishment request initiated by a base station, a relay satellite sends a network function verification request to the network repository function network element through a network expose function network element; after receiving a response to a network function discovery request of the base station, the network expose functio...
1247028611/11/2025OVZON SWEDEN ABSolna, Dual-band radio terminal and filter structureA filter structure has a frame carrying a filter compartment that holds first and second waveguide filters (F{subscript}1H{/subscript}, F{subscript}2H{/subscript}; F{subscript}1L{/subscript}, F{subscript}2L{/subscript}). The filter compartment is rotatable a predetermined angle around a rotation axis (AV) relative to the frame so as to either engage the first waveguide filter (F{subscript}1H{/subscript}, F{subscript}2H{/subscript}) or the second waveguide filter (F{subscript}1L{/subscript}, F{subscript}2L{/subscript}) in a waveguide conduit, thus rendering the waveguide conduit adapted for for...
1247034111/11/2025Hughes Network SystemsWashington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WVVSAT demodulator architecture for beam hopping satellite systemsTechniques are described for demodulating burst communications, such as for demodulating satellite beam-hopping communications in a demodulator of a very small aperture terminal (VSAT) satellite receiver. The demodulator includes a front-end and a sample/symbol domain processor. The front-end is configured to selectively operate in either of an adaptive mode or a freeze mode. During demodulation, the sample/symbol domain processor detects start of superframe (SOSF) and end of superframe (EOSF) locations to determine where each dwell time and non-dwell time begins and ends. During at least a po...
