| 12446501 | 10/21/2025 | Sierra Space | Boulder, CO | Plant growth system for microgravity environments | A plant growth system for a microgravity environment includes a root chamber configured to prevent liquid from escaping from the root chamber in the microgravity environment and to enable recovery of liquid from within the root chamber. In some embodiments, the root chamber may be configured to provide water and/or nutrients to the plants, via ebb/flow and/or spray delivery. In some embodiments, the root chamber includes a main body and a root/shoot interface coupled to the main body. The root/shoot interface can be configured to hold a plant having a root system extending outward from one sid... |
| 12448154 | 10/21/2025 | Blue Origin Manufacturing | Huntsville, AL | System comprising a deceleration pool with a landing hook system disposed above it for receiving a landing rocket | A recovery system for receiving rockets upon landing comprising a deceleration pool filled with liquid. The system may have a volume filled with the liquid having a desired density profile. An injection manifold injects gas into the liquid to create the density profile. The liquid may have a first density at a landing region of the pool and a second density greater than the first density away from the landing region, such as increasing in density radially outward from a center of the landing region. The pool may be located under a primary landing system intended to secure the landing rocket, s... |
| 12449408 | 10/21/2025 | NASA | Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV | Method for manufacturing sensors on multi- functional sensor platform | A method of fabricating a multi-functional platform including at least one gas sensor. The method comprises the steps of providing a printed circuit board (PCB) including a chip integrated on the PCB, and providing a picoliter dispenser having a moveable dispenser head with a nozzle. Then, a gas sensor base layer is formed by depositing a nanostructure directly on a substrate of the chip. The nanostructure includes an unfunctionalized nanomaterial. Next, the gas sensor base layer is functionalized by deposing a functional group of nanomaterial to the gas sensor base layer using the picoliter d... |
| 12449498 | 10/21/2025 | Takemetuit | Calgary, | System and method for enabling determination of a position of a receiver within a space | A method and system for enabling the determination of a position of a receiver within a space includes transmitting a beacon signal from each of a plurality of beacon devices located at different locations within the space. The beacon signal transmitted from each beacon device has a unique information component and may have a unique frequency pattern of multiple frequencies. Each beacon signal can be distinguishable from the beacon signals transmitted from any other of the beacon devices based on the combination of its unique information component and its unique frequency pattern. The beacon s... |
| 12449500 | 10/21/2025 | Capital One Services | McLean, VA | Automated system for vehicle tracking | Aspects described herein may allow for vehicle tracking. Systems and methods described herein may allow a vehicle to automatically detect the presence of a physical marker at a parking space. An image of the physical marker may be processed to determine the location of the vehicle, which may be stored and/or output for display.... |
| 12449538 | 10/21/2025 | NASA | Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV | Ambiguity mitigation for FMCW lidar system | An FMCW Doppler lidar system and method for use in a host vehicle includes a laser system, lenses, a homodyne receiver, and a signal processing unit (SPU). The laser beam is modulated to generate a frequency waveform with three segments, i.e., Doppler, up-ramp, and down-ramp. The lenses transmit laser beams toward a target-of-interest, and receive return beams reflected from the target-of-interest. The homodyne receiver has photoreceptors configured to mix the return beams with a respective local oscillator beam to generate a three-section return waveform. The SPU is coupled to the photorecept... |
| 12450371 | 10/21/2025 | Axelspace | Tokyo, | Information processing method, information processing apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium | An information processing method according to one aspect executes processing of: acquiring satellite data regarding a satellite; performing anti-tampering processing on the acquired satellite data; and outputting satellite data obtained after the anti-tampering processing on the satellite data. In addition, preferably, processing of acquiring a satellite image captured by the satellite, performing anti-tampering processing on the acquired satellite image, and outputting a satellite image obtained after the anti-tampering processing on the satellite image is executed.... |
| 12451350 | 10/21/2025 | NASA | Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV | Precision fabrication of patterned shapes on silicon wafers with ultra-absorbent black silicon | A method of fabricating a patterned mask on a silicon wafer includes grind-polishing a pre-cut silicon wafer; ion beam figuring the grind-polished silicon wafer, transferring a coronagraphic pattern to a surface of the ion beam figured silicon wafer; and in a cryogenic deep reactive ion etching process, applying black silicon to exposed silicon regions of the ion beam figured silicon wafer. The cryogenic etching process is used to fabricate black silicon to achieve a high aspect ratio structure with higher etch rate than conventional reactive ion etching.... |
| 12451988 | 10/21/2025 | Viasat | San Diego-Carlsbad-San Marcos, CA | Interference and jammer cancellation for radios | Methods, systems, and devices for reducing the impact of a jamming signal on wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for receiving a first signal at a first antenna and receiving a second signal at a second antenna. An anti-jammer manager may process the first signal and the second signal to obtain a residual signal. The processing may include determining a weighting factor based at least in part on a correlation between the first signal and the second signal, applying the weighting factor to the first signal to create a weighted first signal, and sub... |
