Abstract: An improvement to a variety of sandwich-based bakery products to prevent “leakage” of food from the sandwich while eating, due to the open sides of present sandwich bakery products. Leakage is avoided by using separate baking-pan molds to create top and bottom parts of a variety of sandwich-like products (e.g., hamburger rolls, English muffins, submarine rolls, and soft taco/burrito shells). The top and bottom parts of most of the products contain outside walls that have a crust layer created by the baking molds that prevents food from falling or squirting out of the sandwich product due to gravity or pressure from biting or squeezing the sandwich product during eating. The one-piece burrito product has “wings” which, when folded properly, prevents leakage of the contents during eating and reduces the multiple end layers created when “rolling up” a conventional burrito.

Abstract: A digital audio signal processing and distribution sub-assembly unit, plug compatible or integratable with single user digital radios, for audio channels and simultaneous re-transmission to multiple user headsetss. The sub-assembly will enable multiple users to select individual channels for listening, via audio headsets, from satellite digital radio broadcasts, which will encompass up to 100 channels of music and talk show programming. Headsets will have either direct wire connections to the digital radio receiver (via a jack connection), or infra-red (IR) links or RF links, which can allow the user to roam significant distances from the radio without the encumbrance of a wire link. The unit will function in automobiles or in homes, with auto usage eventually implemented with interior wiring with access jacks for the headsets built into doors and dashboards.

Abstract: A technology for generating femtosecond time regime x-ray pulses for application to the study of the structure and reactions of biological molecules, photosynthesis reactions, semiconductor device fabrication, structural determination and dynamic performance, and other chemical, biological and physical processes taking place on sub-picosecond time scales. Electrons are accelerated to hundreds of keV to tens of MeV energies using high energy, femtoseconds duration laser pulses, and are then converted to x-rays by one of several physical processes. Because the laser accelerated electrons have the pulse width of the laser driver, extremely short (less than 100 femtoseconds) x-ray pulses can be produced from these electrons. The x-ray energy and emittance can be controlled by electron beam production and beam transport techniques and/or collimators or x-ray optical systems.

Abstract: Novel transmit-only geo-location techniques which can operate synergistically with existing or newly designed satellite or ground-based wireless communications networks using micro-miniature emergency geo-location beacons to provide personal security are described. A combination of physical measurement parameters (Doppler shifts and/or time intervals obtained from clock or signal correlation data) allows geo-location with a reduced number of satellite or wireless receive nodes, thus reducing the cost or increasing the coverage of the system as compared to current geo-location systems. In addition, several of these techniques allow geo-location to be performed on optical and infra-red radiation sources, which can enable tracking of any emitter by existing or newly designed surveillance satellites, including commercial and military aircraft, and hostile missiles or other optically active targets.

Abstract: A computer system for automatically classifying or declassifying military, intelligence, government, or industrial documents. Inputs to the system are classification or declassification guidelines, which describe the sensitive information, and the document(s) that need to be processed, all of which are in electronic format (e.g., output from word processor or other digital format). A database is created by a software program from the classification guidelines or rules, which is then stored in the computer system. The document(s) to be processed are searched and the database is used to identify classified portions of the documents, using a second software program (driven by the rules for determining classification levels), and the sensitive material is identified and the document(s) is modified to show the proper classification markings.
