    摘要: Cell-based systems may interlock in a reconfigurable configuration to support a mission. Space systems, for example, of a relatively large size may be assembled using an ensemble of individual “cells”, which are individual space vehicles. The cells may be held together via magnets, electromagnets, mechanical interlocks, etc. The topology or shape of the joined cells may be altered by cells hopping, rotating, or “rolling” along the joint ensemble. The cells may be multifunctional, mass producible units. Rotation of cell faces, or of components within cells, may change the functionality of the cell. The cell maybe collapsible for stowage or during launch.

    摘要: A system for reducing accidents caused by distracted drivers. The system may form an invisible track using material-impregnated grooves and a radar beam, preventing a vehicle from veering away from a road lane. The material-impregnated grooves (MIGs) within one or more road lanes may include scrap metal. The radar beam may be emitted from a transceiver mounted underneath the vehicle such that backscatter from the MIGs is returned to the transceiver.
