Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for independently configurable sub-profiles that can be used to express intent within a user profile. A sub-profile is a portion of the user profile that can be assigned an independent set of visibility settings from the other portions of the user profile. A user may add profile data to a sub-profile and select visibility settings for the sub-profile that define access to the profile data included in the sub-profile. Accordingly, access to the profile data included in the sub-profile is managed according to a different set of visibility settings that the profile data included in other portions of the user profile (e.g., profile data not included in the sub-profile). This allows user to make certain profile data available to a different audience of users, either through accessing the user profile and/or through search.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for initial alignment of radar assisted airborne strapdown inertial navigation system. By calculating the slant distance and angular position between the radar and the airborne inertial navigation equipment, a nonlinear measurement equation for the initial alignment of the radar assisted inertial navigation system is obtained.

Abstract: An immobilized selenium body, made from carbon and selenium and optionally sulfur, makes selenium more stable, requiring a higher temperature or an increase in kinetic energy for selenium to escape from the immobilized selenium body and enter a gas system, as compared to selenium alone. Immobilized selenium localized in a carbon skeleton can be utilized in a rechargeable battery. Immobilization of the selenium can impart compression stress on both the carbon skeleton and the selenium. Such compression stress enhances the electrical conductivity in the carbon skeleton and among the selenium particles and creates an interface for electrons to be delivered and or harvested in use of the battery. A rechargeable battery made from immobilized selenium can be charged or discharged at a faster rate over conventional batteries and can demonstrate excellent cycling stability.
