Abstract: A Substrate Integrated Wave (SIW) coupled to a Suspended Substrate Stripline (SSS) filter for introducing a notch response has a substrate having metal layers formed on a top surface and a bottom surface thereof. A filter circuit is formed on the top surface of the substrate. A top ground plate is provided and has an air cavity formed on a bottom surface of the top ground plate. The air cavity on the top ground plate is positioned directly above the filter circuit when the top ground plate is positioned on the top surface of the substrate. A bottom ground plate is provided and has an air cavity formed on a top surface of the bottom ground plate. The air cavity on the bottom ground plate is positioned directly below the filter circuit when the bottom ground plate is positioned on the bottom surface of the substrate. A SIW cavity resonator is coupled to the filter circuit by means of an aperture to create a notch response in the SSS filter.

Abstract: Systems and methods for projecting one or more trends in electronic data and generating enhanced data. A system includes a data forecasting system is in electronic communication with one or more electronic data sources via an electronic network. The data forecasting system is configured to: monitor the electronic data source(s) for data that meet one or more predetermined criteria; obtain at least a portion of the monitored data from electronic data source(s) based on the predetermined criteria; create a data set from the obtained data; derive one or more data values associated with the data set over a predetermined period according to a forward-looking term methodology; and utilize the data set and the derived value(s) over the predetermined period to derive at least one data forecast metric associated with the data set.

Abstract: A system and method for isolating electronic data and generating enhanced data. A data subscription unit receives data having plural data formats from data source devices. The data may be received pre-filtered or filtered by the data subscription unit. A modeling unit may receive the filtered data from the storage databases, may determine eligibility of the stored data based on eligibility criteria, sort the eligible data based on at least one sorting parameter, adjust and/or normalize the eligible data based on at least one adjustment parameter and/or an aggregate value for a data attribute, generate data metrics over a defined set of time periods based on the eligible data, generate further data metrics based on the data metrics, and derive specified values from these metrics. A data distribution device may transmit or make available the data metrics, further data metrics and values to remote devices.

Abstract: A pulsed metal plasma thruster (MPT) cube has a plurality of thrusters, each having a first cathode electrode and a trigger electrode separated from the first electrode by an insulator sufficient to support an initiation plasma, and a porous anode electrode positioned a separation distance from the face of all of the cathode electrodes. The cathode electrode can be either the inner electrode or the outer electrode. A power supply delivers a high voltage pulse to the trigger electrode with respect to the cathode electrode sufficient to initiate a plasma on the surface of the insulator. The plasma transfers between the anode electrode and cathode electrode of selected thrusters, thereby generating a pulse of thrust.

Abstract: A charging cabinet is disclosed having a frame, a center vertical member, wherein the center vertical member includes a lock plate, a plurality of stock chargers, an exhaust system, configured to vent heat from the charging cabinet to cool the at least one battery, a heater, configured to warm the at least one battery, a pair of duplex receptacles, a pass-thru connector recess box, wherein the pass-thru connector recess box is angled downward, a pass-thru connector mount box, wherein the pass-thru connector mount box is angled upward, an inlet connector recess box, wherein the inlet connector recess box is angled downward, and an inlet connector mount box, wherein the inlet connector mount box is angled upward.
