| 12623794 | 5/12/2026 | Katalyst Space Technologies | Flagstaff, AZ | Attachment systems for augmenting satellites | Retrofittable satellite systems for an in-orbit host satellite comprising an enhancement module for adding a capability to the in-orbit host satellite, modifying the function of the in-orbit host satellite, and/or extending the function of the in-orbit host satellite. The in-orbit, retrofittable satellite system comprises a transfer vehicle for transferring the enhancement module from a first to a second location and a service vehicle for receiving the enhancement module from the transfer vehicle and installing the enhancement module on the in-orbit host satellite. In-orbit space situational a... |
| 12624786 | 5/12/2026 | Blue Origin Manufacturing | Huntsville, AL | Quick disconnect coupling systems and related methods | Quick disconnect devices for high pressure fluid transfer, and associated systems and methods are disclosed. A representative quick disconnect system includes a first connector and a second connector. The second connector can have an opening sized and shaped to receive a first end of the first connector. The second connector can include a poppet positioned to open the first connector when the first connector is connected to the second connector. The second connector can include an inner sleeve moveable between a first position wherein the poppet head forms a fluid-tight seal with the annular s... |
| 12627552 | 5/12/2026 | Hughes Network Systems | Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV | Loopback signal, receiver and transmitter for synchronization | A loopback receiver to synchronize timing and frequency with a loopback signal relayed to the loopback receiver, the loopback receiver including: an Rx signal representing the loopback signal received at the loopback receiver; and a common Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to estimate, during an acquisition mode and a tracking mode, an estimated timing offset and an estimated frequency offset of the Rx signal compared to the loopback signal, wherein the loopback signal includes a burst including a GOLD Pseudo Noise (PN) sequence having a good circular correlation and the GOLD PN sequence has cross-... |
| 12628029 | 5/12/2026 | HUGHES NETWORK SYSTEMS | Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV | Dynamic bandwidth allocation and jitter handling in multi-tiered satellite networks | Systems and methods for dynamic bandwidth allocation and jitter handling in multi-tiered satellite networks such as virtual communication networks and/or physical communication networks. The system includes bandwidth distributing (BD) unit, in-route group managers (IGMs), in-route bandwidth manager (IBM). The system functions in multi-tier network entity management mode, and multi-beam management mode. The system operates by periodically collecting bandwidth reports from IGMs. The BD unit analyzes data in report and compares aggregated bandwidth demand with pre-defined thresholds. If threshold... |
| 12628105 | 5/12/2026 | SPREADTRUM SEMICONDUCTOR (NANJING) | Nanjing, | Method for window offset determination and terminal | Provided are a method for window offset determination and a terminal, which are applied to a NTN communication system. The NTN communication system comprises a terminal and a network device. The method includes the following. The terminal acquires the first configuration information from the network device and determines a current window offset according to the first configuration information. The current window offset is used to represent an offset of a starting position of a downlink search space window corresponding to a current pre-configured uplink resource relative to a starting time, fu... |
