Abstract: A process for cooperative aerial inter-antenna beamforming for communication between (a) multiple moving platforms, each platform having an aerial antenna mounted thereon, such that the aerial antennas have variable positions and orientations over time, and (b) at least one antenna mounted on user equipment having a lower altitude than the aerial antennas; the process involving transmitting data relating to the positions and orientations of the aerial antennas to a processing system, the processing system calculating and transmitting beamforming instructions to the aerial antennas, the aerial antennas thereby transmitting or receiving respective component signals for each user antenna, the component signals for each user antenna having essentially the same information content but differing in their phase and usually amplitude, so as to form a cooperative beam from the cooperative sum of the signals between the aerial antennas and the user antenna. A method of determining the position of a moving aerial antenna or antenna element mounted on at least one moving platform, such that the aerial antennas have variable positions and orientations over time, the method involving determining the phase difference yi, being a fraction of a wavelength between the values 0 and 1, between signals of known wavelength λi; transmitted between (a) i ground based transmitters which may be backhaul base stations, wherein i is at least three, the ground based transmitters having known position to within λi/10 and (b) the aerial antenna or antenna element, thereby establishing the distance from the base station to the aerial antenna or antenna element to be λi(ni+yi), wherein ni is an unknown integer; determining the position of the aerial antennas or antenna elements approximately by differential GPS or other methods to within a small number of wavelengths λi thereby establishing that ni can be one of a limited number of possible integer values for each signal; the number of base stations and their positions being sufficient to allow elimination of the possible values of ni that are inconsistent with the limited number of possible values for ni from the other ground based transmitters, until only one integer value for each ni is established; establishing the location of the aerial antenna or antenna element by triangulation of its known distance λi(ni+yi), from at least three ground based transmitters.

Abstract: A portable cooking apparatus is disclosed having a foldable firebox body made up of a bottom panel, a plurality of side panels sequentially hinged together and hingedly connected to the bottom panel and with each side panel hinged for folding the panel portions in overlapping relationship so that the side panels can be folded into a body closed position with the side panel portions overlapping for enclosing material such as a fuel supply, an igniter for the fuel supply, and utensils between the bottom panel and the folded overlapping side panels. With the side panel portions unfolded the body is in open position for supporting a cooking surface around the top edges of the side panels. The foldable body can include downwardly projecting bosses to position the body on a support surface, upwardly projecting bosses for supporting the fuel member, and apertures for air to aid in combustion.

Abstract: A therapy apparatus to be mounted in a pool of water for generating a laminar flow of water at a rate sufficient for exercising and therapy purposes. A housing is secured externally to a swimming pool, the water inlet and outlet being disposed within the pool of water and being supported by the external housing. The water inlet is located below the surface of the swimming pool, water being forced through the inlet and upwardly by a rotating impeller to the outlet. The water outlet is below the water surface and directs the flow of water substantially parallel to the surface of the swimming pool and at an angle of approximately 90 degrees of arc with respect to the flow at the impeller. Sets of radial, elbow and outlet diffusers are mounted within the water flow chamber to create a laminar flow of water at the output and substantially eliminate all unwanted turbulance.

Abstract: A method of launching a powered unmanned aerial vehicle at an altitude of at least 13,000 m, the method comprising lifting the vehicle by attachment to a lighter-than-air carrier from a substantially ground-level location to an elevated altitude, causing the vehicle to detach from the carrier while the velocity of the vehicle relative to the carrier is substantially zero, the vehicle thereafter decreasing in altitude as it accelerates to a velocity where it is capable of preventing any further descent and can begin independent sustained flight.
