    摘要: Devices and methods are provided herein useful to thermal management. In some embodiments, a thermal management device includes a housing with a fixed amount of working fluid disposed therein. The substrate is in thermal communication with the thermal management device such that evaporation of the working fluid controls the temperature of the substrate. Evaporated working fluid exits the housing through one or more vents. The housing further includes a plurality of supports that increase the surface area to volume ratio of the housing. The high surface area to volume ratio of the housing increases the rate of heat transfer and also minimizes or otherwise reduces the size and weight of the thermal management device. The supports may further serve to mechanically support the substrate, enabling the housing to act as a combined thermal and mechanical device.

    摘要: Systems and methods for airspace management. One embodiment of an aerial vehicle, includes a first sensor for detecting a lateral field of view of the aerial vehicle and a vehicle computing device. The vehicle computing device may include a memory component and a processor. The memory component may store logic that, when executed by the processor, causes the aerial vehicle to calculate a detection boundary for the aerial vehicle to maintain a well clear requirement, wherein the detection boundary is based on instantaneous trajectory, planned future trajectory, and a capability of the aerial vehicle and utilize the capability of the aerial vehicle and data from the first sensor to maintain the vehicle within detection boundary. In some embodiments the logic may cause the vehicle to provide an instruction to maintain the aerial vehicle within the detection boundary.

    摘要: A semiconductor device cell includes a semiconductor layer having a surface defining a series of parallel striations extending in a first direction. The semiconductor layer surface has a lower electrical resistance in the first direction than in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. A channel region defines a set of first channel region segments extending in the first direction, and a set of second channel region segments extending in the second direction. The first channel region segments and the second channel region segments are arranged to maximize portions of the channel region extending in the first direction across the surface, and minimize portions of the channel region extending in the second direction, to reduce or minimize the effective electrical resistance of the channel region in operation.

    摘要: A flight recorder system of an aircraft includes a resource controller module (RCM) communicatively coupled, via a switch fabric, to a set of flight recorder system modules (FRM). Each FRM comprises a respective control module, a respective local memory, and a respective set of input and output (I/O) ports communicatively coupled to the switch fabric. The RCM is configured to detect a respective FRM coupled to the switch fabric, and based on the detection, configure an operation of the FRM, and wherein the respective local memory of the FRM is readable by the RCM, and shareable with the other FRMs via the switch fabric.

    摘要: Systems and methods for providing surveillance services for an unmanned vehicle are described herein. One embodiment of a method includes receiving surveilled data from a surveillance monitor regarding the unmanned aerial vehicle and at least one other aircraft, receiving trajectory data from at least one trajectory data source, and comparing the surveilled data with the trajectory data to determine whether the unmanned aerial vehicle is on path to collide with a third party aerial vehicle. In some embodiments, in response to determining that the unmanned aerial vehicle is on path to collide with the third party aerial vehicle, the method includes determining an alternate route for the unmanned aerial vehicle; and communicating at least a portion of the alternate route to the unmanned aerial vehicle.

    摘要: Systems and methods for mapping trip trajectories include identifying one or more vehicle trips (e.g., aircraft flights). One or more trajectory configurations associated with at least a portion of each vehicle trip can be identified, and location data associated with the one or more vehicle trips can be requested. Trip trajectory data based at least in part from the location data associated with the one or more vehicle trips and the one or more trajectory configurations associated with at least a portion of each vehicle trip can be generated. The trip trajectory data can be provided for display on a map of a geographic area including one or more locations defined by the location data associated with the one or more vehicle trips.
