Abstract: A smart communication system including a stream processor, a plurality of inputs that are time stamped with times from a chip scaled atomic clock, and a plurality of functional blocks implemented in non-transitory computer-readable mediums. The plurality of functional blocks include an encrypted private distributed ledger block, a fusion engine block, a hashing block, and a predictive analytics block. The plurality of inputs are hashed by the hashing block to produce hashed inputs and the hashed inputs are posted into the encrypted private distributed ledger block as a hash table. The predictive analytics block processes the hash table based upon a predetermined criteria for a particular user or based upon a predictive analytics determined criteria of the particular user to produce a data subset for the particular user. The fusion engine block organizes the data subset for the particular user into an organized data subset.

Abstract: An antenna assembly including flexible antenna elements connected to a non-flexible antenna element which connects to a counterpoise where the non-flexible antenna element is between the counterpoise and the flexible antenna elements. The flexible antenna elements are a plurality of peripheral flexible antenna elements and a central flexible antenna element. The plurality of peripheral flexible antenna elements are separated from and surrounding the central flexible antenna element. The non-flexible antenna element is a biconical antenna, formed from two tapered shapes connected at a central feed point such that a constant electrical impedance as the currents radiate outward from the central feed point. A total length of the flexible antenna elements connected to the non-flexible antenna element is ?43.0 cm, and the flexible antenna elements connected to the non-flexible antenna element has a realized gain of at least 2 dB over at least a frequency range of 200-7000 MHz.

Abstract: A UAV heatsink assembly including two heat pipes, a first and second heat pipes including transfer and end portions, the end portions thermally connected to first and second metallic heat transfer elements, and a third metallic heat transfer element thermally connected to opposite ends of the heat pipes. A CPU thermally connected to the third metallic heat transfer element with first and second electrically insulating thermoplastic elements into which the respective first and second metallic components fit where the first and second electrically insulating thermoplastic elements are not between an outside ambient environment and the first and second metallic components. The heat pipes each include a wick structure and an embedded liquid providing thermal transport therein while at least some of the embedded liquids are above a threshold temperature between ?40° C. and 70° C. such that the UAV is at least operable above ?40° C. degrees and below 70° C.
