Abstract: A dual-band patch antenna includes a first patch antenna for operation at a first frequency and a second patch antenna for operation at a second frequency that is an integer multiple of the first frequency. A dielectric support is provided on which the first and second patch antennas are mounted. A nearest distance defined between the first and second patch antennas is a function of the second frequency and a dielectric constant of the dielectric support. The dielectric support has a feed point adapted to have a transmission line electrically coupled thereto. Electrically-conducting paths are coupled to the dielectric support for electrically coupling the feed point to the first and second patch antennas where at least one such electrically-conducting path has an insertion loss that is greater than 0 dB and less than or equal to 3 dB.

Abstract: A method of producing a modification of pigments using atomic layer deposition (ALD) in varying electrical resistivity. More specifically, ALD may be used to encapsulate pigment particles with controlled thicknesses of a conductive layer, such as indium tin oxide (ITO). ALD may allow films to be theoretically grown one atom at a time, providing angstrom-level thickness control.

Abstract: The present invention proposes an automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) architecture and process, in which priority aircraft and ADS-B IN and radar traffic information are included in the transmission of data through the telemetry communications to a remote ground control station. The present invention further proposes methods for displaying general aviation traffic information in three and/or four dimension trajectories using an industry standard Earth browser for increased situation awareness and enhanced visual acquisition of traffic for conflict detection. The present invention enable the applications of enhanced visual acquisition of traffic, traffic alerts, and en-route and terminal surveillance used to augment pilot situational awareness through ADS-B IN display and information in three or four dimensions for self-separation awareness.

Abstract: A bi-stable pin actuator includes a soft magnetic core and having a first central portion and a second central portion spaced apart from the first central portion. The first central portion has a first passage extending there-through and the second portion has a second passage extending there-through which is coaxial with the first passage. A first coil is wound about the first central portion and a second coil is wound about the second central portion. A pair of permanent magnets are located in the space between the first central portion and second central portion and attached to the core. An armature is movably positioned between and spaced apart from the permanent magnets. A pin is attached to the armature and extends into the first passage and second passages such that movement of the armature results in movement of the pin within the first passage and second passage. The armature moves between a first position wherein the armature is adjacent to the first central portion of the core and a second position wherein the armature is adjacent to the second central portion of the core. The armature is in one stable state when in the first position and in another of the stable state when in the second position. The magnets generate magnetic flux having a magnetic flux density sufficient to hold the armature in either of the stable states when neither of the coils is energized. When the armature is in the first stable state, only a first end of the pin protrudes from the core. When the armature is in the second stable state, only an opposite second end of the pin protrudes from the core. Energizing at least one of the coils generates a magnetic flux in one section of the actuator that opposes the magnetic flux holding the armature in a current stable state and supplements the magnetic flux in another section of the actuator so as to shift the armature into another stable state.

Abstract: A method for forming an optimized radiation shield design for a component including providing a computer system programmed to generate data files that define a component radiation shield having an optimized design based on pre-stored data defining particular radiation characteristics and user-provided data defining radiation shield design criteria. Radiation shield design criteria are inputted into the computer system which processes the inputted radiation shield design criteria and the pre-stored data defining particular radiation characteristics in order to generate data files defining an optimized design for a component radiation shield. The generated data files defining the optimized design for a component radiation shield are provided to a metallic three-dimensional printing system. The three-dimensional printing system is then activated to form a component radiation shield using a predetermined metal powder and the generated data files that define the optimized component radiation shield design. The formed component radiation shield is then attached to the component or the circuit board.

Abstract: A current source logic gate with depletion mode field effect transistor (“FET”) transistors and resistors may include a current source, a current steering switch input stage, and a resistor divider level shifting output stage. The current source may include a transistor and a current source resistor. The current steering switch input stage may include a transistor to steer current to set an output stage bias point depending on an input logic signal state. The resistor divider level shifting output stage may include a first resistor and a second resistor to set the output stage point and produce valid output logic signal states. The transistor of the current steering switch input stage may function as a switch to provide at least two operating points.
