    Abstract: A pathway article that includes a radar reflective structure with a large radar cross section (RCS) in a compact planar structure. The radar reflective structure may include a plurality of elements that act as antennae and may be spaced appropriately on a planar surface creating a radar reflecting surface. The antenna may be a reflecting surface of a stepped triangular slot. Selecting the spacing between the antennae may cause constructive interference and reflection substantially opposite the direction of the incident radar radiation. Pathway articles may also include at least one additional feature that may be detected by other sensors. Examples of other features include retroreflective features detectable by the human eye, visible camera and similar sensors. This redundancy in the detectable features of the pathway article may enable use of sensor fusion to provide greater confidence of detection of the pathway article under a wide range of conditions.

    Abstract: A gradient permittivity film comprises (a) a first permittivity layer comprising a first continuous matrix of a first material having a first relative permittivity (ε r1 ) and a second component having a second relative permittivity (ε r2 ) dispersed in the first continuous matrix, the first permittivity layer having a first effective layer relative permittivity (ε 1 ) and a thickness (T 1 ); and (b) a second permittivity layer having a second effective layer relative permittivity (ε 2 ) and a thickness (T 2 ) disposed on the first permittivity layer T 1 = 0.8(t 1 ) to 1.2(t 1 ), where t 1 = (I); T 2 =0.8(t 2 ) to 1.2 (T 2 ), where T 2 = (II).

    Abstract: A remote terminal unit for use in monitoring a metallic pipeline can take an electrical measurement at the pipe and transmit the measurement in a modulated signal to a main measurement unit located along the pipe and distant from the remote terminal unit. The electrical measurement is taken at regular time intervals between a reference electrode electrically connected to the pipe and a coupon composed of a sacrificial corrosion material in order to monitor the pipe for possible corrosion. The electrical measurement is modulated with a low frequency carrier signal for transmission along the pipe, eliminating the need to take the measurements directly at physical locations along the pipe.
