Patent number: 11986566Abstract: A system includes a container configured to hold one or more items contaminated with a contaminant. The system also includes a power amplifier configured to output radio frequency (RF) energy at a frequency substantially equal to a resonant frequency of the contaminant. The system further includes a horn connected to the power amplifier and configured to propagate the RF energy along a length of the container and through the one or more items to deactivate, damage, or destroy the contaminant by molecular resonance. In addition, the system includes an RF absorbing liner disposed on interior surfaces of the container and configured to absorb and reduce reflection of at least some of the RF energy.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2020Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: Angelo M. Puzella, Joseph T. Mossoba, Sharon A. Elsworth, John Sangiolo

Patent number: 9502895Abstract: A photo-voltaic (PV) power generating system and a control system for PV array string-level control and PV modules serially-connected into strings of PV modules. The system includes plural parallel strings of serially-connected powergenerating photovoltaic modules that form a PV array, DC/DC micro-converters that are coupled to a DC voltage buss and to the output of a corresponding photovoltaic module or to the output of a string of photovoltaic modules; a gating or central inverter; and a control system. The micro-converters are structured and arranged to include at least one of: an active clamp device, a ground fault detection device, and a fractional power converter that injects power in series or in parallel with voltage or current from the power-generating portion onto the DC buss.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2015Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: Perfect Galaxy International LimitedInventors: Leo Francis Casey, Joseph T. Mossoba
