| 12661713 | 6/23/2026 | Blue Origin Manufacturing | Huntsville, AL | Wire-feed friction stir additive manufacturing devices and methods | A friction stir additive manufacturing system is provided. In one aspect, the system includes a spindle configured to rotate about a central axis. The spindle includes a plurality of spindle channels extending from a first end of the spindle to a second end of the spindle. The system also includes a plurality of sleeves, each of the sleeves configured to be received within a corresponding spindle channel. Each of the sleeves includes a hollow interior. The system also includes a plurality of wires. The system also includes a feeding system configured to feed each of the plurality of wires thro... |
| 12661753 | 6/23/2026 | Blue Origin Manufacturing | Huntsville, AL | Modular bore polishing devices, and associated systems and methods | A representative tool system for polishing and/or finishing a surface can include an arbor portion and an interchangeable (i.e., modular) head portion. The arbor portion can include a body portion, one or more media collection elements, a rotation mechanism positioned to rotate the one or more media collection elements relative to the body portion, and one or more media distribution elements. The head portion can include a media distribution region for receiving a media distribution element, a media collection region for receiving a media collection element, and media channels connecting the m... |
| 12663026 | 6/23/2026 | TEAM Industries | Bagley, MN | Fixed displacement hydraulic pump match flow demand control system | A fixed displacement hydraulic pump match flow demand control system that includes a spool valve, a plurality of fixed displacement pumps and a control valve is provided. The spool valve includes a spool. The spool is configured to shuttle within a chamber of a housing based at least in part on a pressure difference between a first end and the second end of the chamber. A fluid flow from each fixed displacement pump of the plurality of fixed displacement pumps is in fluid communication with an associated input port to the spool valve. At least one output port of the spool valve is in fluid com... |
| 12664773 | 6/23/2026 | Microsoft Technology Licensing | Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA | Cloud model orchestration of spaceborne data | The disclosed technology is generally directed to cloud model orchestration of constrained-environment-device data. In one example of the technology, on a first distributed system, on-cloud models are stored. For each on-cloud model, a corresponding set of reference embeddings is stored. Images obtained from sensors onboard at least one constrained-environment device that is external to the first distributed system are received. Image tiles are stored such that the image tiles include, for each image, evenly-spaced portions of the image. Image embeddings generated via an embedding-generation m... |
| 12665320 | 6/23/2026 | Blue Origin Manufacturing | Huntsville, AL | Signal processing for driving antennas for a spacecraft or terrestrial vehicle | An antenna and receiver design is described herein that allows a spacecraft to safely and accurately perform an autonomous flight safety system, an ascent, an entry, a re-entry, a landing, and/or an orbit determination. For example, a spacecraft can be equipped with 180-degree dual-opposed antennas and two receivers. A signal captured by a first antenna can be routed to a secondary radio frequency (RF) of the first receiver and to a combiner. A signal captured by a second antenna can be routed to a secondary RF of the second receiver and to the combiner. The mixer can perform the phase combina... |
| 12665663 | 6/23/2026 | HUGHES NETWORK SYSTEMS | Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV | Satellite communication system and method for managing emergency messaging services | A system and method for managing emergency messaging services is disclosed. The system receives request for transmitting emergency message from user equipment (UE) to geosynchronous equatorial orbit (GEO) satellite. Further, the system determines current location information of the UE. The system determines satellite location of the GEO satellite in proximity to the UE. The system computes a threshold azimuth angle between the UE and the GEO satellite. Further, the system determines an azimuth angle of the UE. Furthermore, the system determines a deviation level between the computed threshold ... |
| 12665666 | 6/23/2026 | CACI Federal | Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV | System and methods of detecting loss of signal in free space optical communications | The present application at least describes a system for detecting loss in free space optical communications (FSOCs). The FSOC may include a sensor located downstream of the power supply unit. The FSOC may also include a signal conditioning unit (SCU) located downstream of the sensor. The FSOC may also include a comparator located downstream of the SCU. The comparator may be configured to receive the first signal from the SCU and determine an indication of signal loss based upon the first signal being below a predetermined threshold. The FSOC may further include a photodiode located downstream ... |
| 12666340 | 6/23/2026 | Hughes Network Systems | Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV | Radio-frequency (RF) gateway redundancy schemes for satellite communication networks | A radio-frequency (RF) redundancy method includes designating a plurality of RF gateways as initial primary RF gateways and designating an additional RF gateway as an initial backup RF gateway for the satellite communication system. A fault condition is detected in a first initial primary RF gateway, and a first switchover process is performed to switch the first initial primary RF gateway to a current backup RF gateway and to switch the initial backup RF gateway to a first current primary RF gateway. When a second initial primary RF gateway has the fault condition, a second switchover process... |
