  • Publication number: 20240151194
    Abstract: An ablative thruster includes a nozzle configured to control a flow of thrust from the satellite. The ablative thruster also includes an ablative surface inside of the nozzle, configured to deflect the thrust at a predefined angle. The ablative surface is configured to ablate-away, leaving un-deflected thrust for a majority of the burn.

  • Patent number: 10785225
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an advanced gateway device (“gateway”) for enabling communications between devices operating on or in communication with a communications network. The gateway includes a universal integrated circuit card (“UICC”), a router for interfacing with a number of devices, a network interface for communicating with the communications network, and one or more applications for managing associated devices and communications between the devices and the communications network. The gateway is registered with the communications network by transmitting information generated by the UICC to the communications network. Devices communicating with the gateway can access services provided by components of the communications network, and remote devices can access the devices communicating with the gateway based upon a trust relationship established between the gateway and the communications network.

  • Patent number: 6978631
    Abstract: A dehumidification system including a controller having a humidity sensor switch that turns the dehumidifier, as well as the plurality of fans, on and off based on the ambient humidity of the area in which the dehumidification system is placed. Additionally, the dehumidification system includes a user interface unit that is separate from the dehumidifier, and that can be used to operate the dehumidification system from remote locations.
