ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 11 -- United States Patent no. 12,470,320, issued on Nov. 11, was assigned to Xerox Corp. (Norwalk, Conn.).

"System and method for estimating errors in a sensor network implementing high frequency (HF) communication channels" was invented by Ion Matei (Mountain View, Calif.) and Raman Goyal (Mountain View, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "One embodiment can provide a method and system for estimating a remote quantity of interest (QoI). During operation, the system can receive, over a communication channel, a radio frequency (RF) signal carrying an estimate of the QoI measured by a sensor. The system can estimate probability distributions of a set of random channel p...
