Abstract: A system and method for location centric activity leveraging convergence control of vectors having both a time and space domain. Additionally, the system executes the control of mobile and dynamic resources by controlling the dispatch of primary tasks with intermediate secondary tasks to enhance system efficiency and effectiveness. The location convergence of multiple mobile resources is vital to the realization of high-accuracy location determination and therefore high-accuracy inference and contextual relevance.

Abstract: Icephobic coatings that reduce ice adhesion strength must often achieve extreme durability requirements, such as in aviation or wind turbine applications, to survive the impact of high-speed rain (i.e., rain erosion testing). A multi-layer coating having a thin metallic or metallic alloy film adhered to an underlying layer that is softer and thicker than the metallic layer achieves very low ice adhesion with adhered ice onto the icephobic coating.

Abstract: The heat exchangerless membrane system optimizes heat transfer between a set of two immiscible fluids such that the second of the two immiscible fluids having an additive, notably an additive that makes the second fluid corrosive, is infrequently in contact any heat exchangers that would make the heat exchanger subject to corrosion. This membrane system is capable of separating the two immiscible fluids downstream of the heat transfer process, such that heat transfer can repeat the cycle again in an energy efficient manner.
