Latest Patents
One of Scow's latest patents is titled "Auto Tier II," which is a system designed to provide estimates of far-field radar cross-section (RCS) measurements of aircraft. This innovative system utilizes a variety of automatic guided vehicles (AGVs), each equipped with a robot arm and a radar unit that can be interchanged with a camera. The AGVs are controlled by an AGV controller that manages the radar unit and camera to gather near-field RCS measurements and images of the aircraft. Additionally, the system features a real-time signature diagnostic sub-system (SDS-RT) that processes the near-field RCS measurement signals and images, allowing for accurate estimates of far-field RCS measurements.
Another notable invention by Scow is the "Positioning Device for RAM Testing System." This device is designed for positioning a hand-held RAM inspection system to measure the thickness of RAM coatings. The invention includes a housing that contains the RAM coating inspection system, with three laser distance-measuring devices mounted circularly at 120 degrees from each other. These lasers determine the necessary distance and orientation for the RAM inspection system, ensuring accurate measurements when triggered by an electrical controller circuit.
