ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,298,456, issued on May 13, was assigned to IONOTERRA Ltd. (Ramat Efaal, Israel).

"Systems for short-term prediction of earthquake parameters using ionospheric precursors" was invented by Nathan Blaunstein (Beer Sheba, Israel).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method of predicting parameters of an earthquake uses an array of ionosondes to scan an observed volume of an ionosphere located above a seismically active zone. The method includes monitoring ionograms provided by the array of ionosondes; detecting the presence of at least one seismic-induced irregularity (SII); determining a first predicted parameter corresponding to an epicenter lo...
