Abstract: A microfluidic device is provided for inducing the separation of constituent elements from a microfluidic sample by introducing phase changes in the microfluidic sample while contained in a microfluidic channel in the device. At least a portion of the microfluidic sample is frozen to cause fractional exclusion of the constituent element from the frozen portion of the microfluidic sample. Different portions of the microfluidic sample may be frozen in different sectors and at different times in order to cause movement in a desired direction of the separated constituent element. Portions of the microfluidic sample may be frozen in a sequential order of adjacent sectors within the microfluidic channel in order to cause sequential movement of the excluded constituent element toward one portion of the microfluidic channel. The frozen portion of the microfluidic sample is then thawed, wherein the separated constituent element remains substantially separated from the thawed, purified microfluidic sample.

Abstract: A dedicated satellite to reduce the cost and increase the rate and reliability of data transmission from space to ground is provided. For each client satellite producing data in Earth orbit, a dedicated relay satellite is provided. The relay satellite may fly near the client satellite and receive data from the client satellite by RF communication. The relay satellite may transmit the data to a ground terminal or to another satellite using a laser communication system. Because the relay satellite is not physically connected to the client satellite, the attitude-control requirements of an optical communication system are not imposed on the client satellite. The relay satellite may also be deployed from the client satellite. The relay satellite may allow downlinking large amounts of data for new satellite operators without an existing ground network and for established satellite operators seeking higher data rates, lower latency, or reduced ground system operating costs.
Abstract translation: 提供了一种专用卫星，用于降低成本并提高从空间到地面的数据传输的速率和可靠性。 对于在地球轨道上产生数据的每个客户卫星，提供专用的中继卫星。 中继卫星可以在客户端卫星附近飞行，并通过RF通信从客户端卫星接收数据。 中继卫星可以使用激光通信系统将数据发送到接地终端或另一卫星。 由于中继卫星没有物理连接到客户端卫星，因此光通信系统的态度控制要求不会施加在客户端卫星上。 中继卫星也可以从客户卫星部署。 中继卫星可以允许在没有现有地面网络的情况下为新的卫星运营商下载大量数据，并且为建立的卫星运营商寻求更高的数据速率，更低的延迟或降低的地面系统运行成本。

Abstract: A relay satellite node is provided. The relay satellite node may enable separate pointing of a receive portion and transmit portion of the node, enabling continuous communication through the node. The node may include two separate satellites flying in close proximity to one another. One of the satellites may use its attitude-control system to enable high-gain communications from a distant source, and the other satellite may use its attitude-control system to enable high-gain communication to a distant receiver. The two satellites may communicate with one another over a high-rate, short-range, omnidirectional communication system. A LEO network of these nodes, in combination with dedicated client-specific relay satellites may provide high-rate communication between any space asset and a ground network with latency limited only by the speed of light.

Abstract: An apparatus for simultaneously receiving and transmitting data in space may include a receiver configured to receive an incoming beam transmitted from a source along a receive vector between the source and the receiver. The apparatus may also include a transmitter to generate a transmitted beam along a transmit vector. The apparatus may further include a single-axis gimbal configured to rotate the transmit vector about an axis substantially perpendicular to the receive vector, and an attitude-control system configured to rotate the apparatus about an axis parallel to the receive vector or the transmit vector.

Abstract: A system for reducing the cost and increasing the rate and reliability of data transmission from space to ground includes a network of relay satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). Each relay satellite is configured to receive data from one or more client satellites, and configured to transmit data from LEO to ground using optical communications. The system may also include multiple optical ground stations configured to receive the data and transmit the received data using terrestrial networks to client locations. The network may provide an alternative to downlinking large amounts of data for new satellite operators without an existing ground network and for established satellite operators seeking higher data rates, lower latency, or reduced ground system operating costs.
