METHOD FOR JAMMING SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADARS AND ASSOCIATED DEVICE
20190033427 · 2019-01-31 ·

A method for jamming airborne SAR radar implemented by a jamming device includes at least two cooperating units surrounding an area on the ground to be protected, at least two units providing a radar-detection function and at least one unit providing a radar-jamming function, each unit being interlinked by a two-way data link and being synchronized by a common clock, the method comprises a step of identifying the signals received and whether the received signals correspond to SAR signals; a step of characterizing the received SAR signal over a short duration; a step of computing a filter adapted to the signal; a step of carrying out pulse compression of the signal; a step of iteratively periodically characterizing the signal over a long duration; a step of computing the jamming signals to be transmitted; a step of transmitting the jamming signals.

BLOCKING THE CAPTURE OF PHOTO AND VIDEO CONTENT

In an approach for blocking a user from the capture of a photograph without consent, a processor receives an indication that a user has entered a location. A processor projects a hologram that blocks the user from photo capture. A processor detects images within the defined location, wherein the images include a person. A processor evaluates an authorization to capture a photo by the person. A processor evaluates a current contextual condition of the user to allow for photo capture. A processor alter the hologram, based on the evaluated authorization to capture the photo by the person and the evaluated current contextual condition of the user to allow for photo capture.

System, method, and apparatus for reducing driving while texting
10169933 · 2019-01-01 ·

A system for reducing driving while texting includes a containment vessel with a door. When the door is closed, the containment vessel attenuates Bluetooth radio signals and cellular radio signals to prevent the user device held there within from communicating with a transceiver that is external to the containment vessel. A Bluetooth transceiver having an antenna internal to the containment vessel and paired with a Bluetooth transceiver of the user device is used to detect the presence of the user device within the containment vessel. A sensor detects when the door is closed. There is a way to detecting movement of a vehicle in which the containment vessel is held and a way to log data indicating at least time periods in which movement is detected and either the door is open or the Bluetooth transceiver cannot connect with the user device. The data is reported (e.g. to a parent/guardian).

Electromagnetic jamming device and method for an integrated circuit

A device is provided for jamming electromagnetic radiation liable to be emitted by at least one portion of an interconnect region located above at least one zone of an integrated electronic circuit produced in and on a semiconductor substrate. The device includes an antenna located above the at least one zone of the circuit and generating circuit coupled to the antenna and configured to generate an electrical signal having at least one pseudo-random property to pass through the antenna.

Selective control of mobile devices for protecting high speed moving convoy

An approach includes a method implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied in a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions. The approach further includes the programming instructions configured to collect at least one broadcast control channel allocation list from base stations in a surrounding area. The approach further includes the programming instructions configured to generate a list of power signals which correspond to all broadcast control channel carriers based on the at least one broadcast control channel allocation list. The approach further includes the programming instructions configured to transmit information of a highest carrier power in the list to all virtual base stations in a convoy.
