Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for identifying and preventing misappropriation using normalized request sequences. The method includes receiving a sequence of two or more requests associated with a user. The method also includes comparing the sequence of two or more requests with one or more past sequence of two or more past requests. The method further includes determining whether the sequence of two or more requests were carried out by the user or the malfeasant actor. The determination is made based on a comparison of the sequence of two or more requests with at least one of the one or more past sequence of two or more past requests. The method also includes causing an escalation action to be executed in an instance in which the sequence of two or more requests was carried out by the malfeasant actor.

Abstract: A high-gain, dielectric loaded, slotted waveguide antenna having a photonic bandgap, a high-impedance electromagnetic structure, in contact with the waveguide surface containing longitudinal slots, and a tailored dielectric material structure in contact with the outer surface of the photonic bandgap structure. The tailored dielectric structure at the inner most surface has the same effective dielectric constant of the waveguide material and the photonic bandgap structure. The effective dielectric constant is then incrementally or continuously reduced to have a dielectric constant close to that of the free-space value at the outer surface further distance from the waveguide array. The tailoring of the effective dielectric constant is achieved by layering a given number of slabs of different dielectric constants with sequentially reduced values, or by varying the chemical composition of the material, or by varying the density of the material imbedded with high dielectric constant particles.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for simulating, in conjunction with a source of ionizing radiation, intense pulsed electromagnetic fields and time varying conductivity caused by the gamma radiation associated with a nuclear detonation. An enclosed space, including the source of ionizing radiation is separated into three spaces, each space separated from the adjacent space by a gas impermeable, radiation permeable barrier. A guided wave structure, pulsed with high voltage pulses in conjunction with the firing of the source of ionization radiation is disposed adjacent to the barrier separating two of the spaces. A gas handling system is provided to introduce a selected non-ionizing gas and a selected ionizing gas into the spaces on either side of the barrier adjacent to the guided wave structure.

Abstract: An artificial dielectric comprising a random distribution of inductively-ded short dipoles for simulating the macroscopic electromagnetic properties of a simple Lorentz plasma. The inductively-loaded dipoles are preferably mounted within styrofoam spheres which, when randomly distributed, comprise a granular pellet-like artificial dielectric. A theoretical discussion is presented and compared with experimental results.
