3 catalogued patent records · 3 identified families
Coverage: Partial inventor search
Noam’s first-party patent page plus inventor discovery yielded three inspected families: Stanford MIMO, Stanford cell-type deconvolution and Bar-Ilan cloud-RAN beamforming. Red Bend software-update entries under the same name were discovered but lack a reliable bridge to this faculty researcher, so remain excluded. Their different subject is a caution, not proof of a different person. No absence or completeness claim.

Original evidence: not verified
The personal site exposes a patent-navigation page, but no specific attributable record was inspected; no absence claim is made.[130]
Records are counted separately from identified families. Author-reported entries are labelled and may still need publication verification. Inventorship, publication-time applicant and current ownership are different facts. No legal-status, patentability or freedom-to-operate conclusion is made.
Scores prioritize research fit from 1–10; they are not probabilities.
Review: Reviewed with limitations
Proposed capability matches, not confirmed relationships. Scores are analyst judgments with low forecast confidence; researcher interests, capacity and feasibility need confirmation.

Rank 10/11; fit 7/10: topic overlap 2/4, complementarity 3/3, first-test feasibility 2/3. Added capability match outside the original initiative graph; prior collaboration or novelty was not established. Independent review lowered feasibility by one point: The cited quantum-clock abstract concerns Page-Wootters clock frames and foundational uncertainty, not an engineered timing sensor.
