| 12790032 | 11/10/2026 | Blue Origin Manufacturing | Huntsville, AL | Launch vehicle with ring baffles | A propellant tank can be used with a launch vehicle and can include at least one ring baffle having corrugated surfaces which are aligned circumferentially with respect to a longitudinal axis of the propellant tank. Folds of the corrugated surfaces may rise and fall in a first direction which is along the longitudinal axis. The ring baffle may be on an interior circumference of the propellant tank and the corrugated surfaces can extend in a second direction which is along a lateral axis of the propellant tank. Further, the ring baffle is of a predetermined width from the interior circumference... |
| 12794540 | 11/10/2026 | Space Exploration Technologies | Starbase, TX | Beam to beam coupling cancellation | Systems and techniques for beam-to-beam (B2B) coupling cancellation are disclosed. In one example, a process includes obtaining, at a first FE of a serially fed FE network, a first RF signal and a second RF signal; outputting, from the first FE, a first through path RF signal based on the first RF signal and a second through path RF signal based on the second RF signal; obtaining, at a second FE of the serially fed FE network, the first through path RF signal and the second through path RF signal; and applying one or more phase shifts to the first RF signal, the second RF signal, the first thr... |
| 12794661 | 11/10/2026 | VIASAT | San Diego-Carlsbad-San Marcos, CA | Multi-stage burst detection for communications systems | Systems and methods that enable user terminals to eliminate or reduce the number of dummy bursts (or bursts with no data) they send. The systems and methods use two burst detectors, a first burst detector that analyzes the physical structure of the signal, and a second burst detector that analyzes the informational structure of the signal. Output from the first burst detector can be used to control operation of a signal decoder that decodes received signals. The second burst detector analyzes output from the signal decoder to determine the second burst indicator. In other words, the first burs... |
| 12794962 | 11/10/2026 | VIASAT | San Diego-Carlsbad-San Marcos, CA | Internet protocol broadcasting | Methods, apparatuses, and systems are provided for improving utilization of a communications system through various atom-based techniques for enhancing the viewing experience for Internet protocol content. Some embodiments exploit atom-based processing to determine which content atoms to broadcast (e.g., multicast) over which channels to which subscribers. Other embodiments make atom-based filtering, caching, and/or other determinations at the user terminal. For example, low-level (e.g., physical layer) filtering may be used to limit the amount of user-layer processing needed, and to facilitat... |
| 12795375 | 11/10/2026 | QUALCOMM | San Diego-Carlsbad-San Marcos, CA | Systems and methods for supporting location and country determination for 5G satellite access | Satellite access to a PLMN with a Fifth Generation (5G) core network (5GCN) is supported by a serving satellite NodeB (gNB). The gNB determines or verifies the country in which a user equipment (UE) is located to ensure that the UE is located in the same country as the PLMN. The gNB may determine the country of the UE based on UE measurements from broadcast satellite signals and a positioning ID (PID) broadcast for each radio cell. The PID frequently changes to prevent spoofing. The gNB may use multiple UE measurements from a moving radio cell over a period of time to generate a more accurate ... |
