Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system for securing wireless data communication. The system includes a launcher and a projectile. The launcher has a random number generator, a launcher memory, a launcher encryption/decryption module, and a launcher transceiver. The projectile has a projectile memory, a projectile encryption/decryption module, and a projectile transceiver. Both the launcher encryption/decryption module and the projectile encryption/decryption module are configured to use the one-time pad to encrypt and to decrypt data. The system is configured to establish a temporary datalink at a point in time in which the projectile and the launcher are substantially collocated so that the one-time pad can be transmitted from random number generator located in the launcher to the projectile memory using the temporary datalink.

Abstract: The present invention is a computer modeling system for creating a comprehensive environmental impact model. The system performs a series of novel functions to reflect the impact of multiple emissions on all species of interest within an environment at designated concentration levels. The system can be further utilized as a repository to update environmental data received from scientific researchers and to update existing models accordingly. The system integrates new data and updates calculations to create increasingly complex, comprehensive and reliable predictive models for users, which include US and foreign entities charged with developing emissions standards.

Abstract: The present invention is a system for repairing asphalt. The system includes a discrete quantity of an asphalt repair composition located within a container and an induction heater. The composition is a combination of an asphalt binder, aggregate particles, and induction particles. The average diameter of the induction particles ranges from approximately 10% above to approximately 10% below an average diameter of the aggregate particles used in the composition. The induction heater heats the composition within the container by generating a magnetic field that penetrates the container. The magnetic field creates eddy currents in the induction particles. These eddy currents in turn heat the composition. Because the induction particles are distributed throughout the composition, the composition heats rapidly.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a system of PFAS (Per-Poly-fluorinated alkyl substances) effluent liquid treatment includes: a pump to pump a liquid received via an intake; a sediment filter to filter sediment from the liquid; a granular activated carbon (GAC) device, disposed downstream of the sediment filter, to remove organic contaminants from the liquid; one (preferably two) or more ion exchange resin columns, disposed downstream of the GAC device, to remove PFAS constituents from the liquid; and a plurality of control valves being controlled to direct the liquid to flow along one or more liquid flow paths through the ion exchange resin columns so as to adjust a rate of processing the liquid by the ion exchange resin columns. Directing the flow takes into consideration factors including any minimum rate of processing, any maximum amount of waste generation, and any target remaining PFAS contamination in the liquid after processing.

Abstract: A method for generating an augmented set of images involves data collection, data processing, and data augmentation processing performed to merge images. The data collection comprises the steps of choosing objects as selected objects, choosing configurations for imaging of the selected objects, and taking pictures with a second camera to create a set of raw object images. The data processing comprises the steps of performing dynamic range adjustment on the raw object image, performing color correction for corrected images, and removing uniform background from the corrected images to result in object images. The data augmentation processing performed to merge images comprises the steps of performing range simulation or magnification for resampled images, adding blur to the resampled images, adding noise to create final object images, and merging the final object images to the field images of a first camera to create a set of augmented images.
