US Patent Issued to Rockwell Collins on Aug. 12 for "Frequency selection algorithm for resilient HF communication" (Iowa Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,388,480, issued on Aug. 12, was assigned to Rockwell Collins Inc. (Cedar Rapids, Iowa).

"Frequency selection algorithm for resilient HF communication" was invented by John V. Thommana (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) and Joseph Splean II (Ely, Iowa).
