Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for monitoring and analysis of electrical components. In one embodiment, a method includes obtaining raw radio frequency (RF) component data associated with an electrical component, cross-correlating the raw RF component data with a synchronized pseudo-random sequence (PRS) signal injected into the electrical component to determine a correlated impulse response, and determining a condition of the electrical component based at least in part upon the correlated impulse response. In another embodiment, a system includes a signal injection system coupled to an electrical component. The signal injection system injects a synchronized PRS signal into the electrical component. A data capture device obtains raw RF component data synchronized with the PRS signal through a RF antenna. A data analysis device cross-correlates the raw RF component data with the PRS signal to determine characteristics associated with the electrical component.

Abstract: A firearm auxiliary sight is stored below the firearm optical sight and quickly deployable by means of activation of a lever which disengages the sight whereby a spring moves it outwardly from a housing. During deployment the auxiliary sight is rotated to an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the firearm and simultaneously the sight aperture is rotated upwardly.

Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for impulse response monitoring in power systems. In one embodiment, a method includes obtaining raw power system data associated with a power system, cross-correlating the raw power system data with a synchronized pseudo-random sequence signal injected into the power system to determine a correlated impulse response and determining a condition of the power system based at least in part upon the correlated impulse response. In another embodiment, a system includes a plurality of signal injection systems and a data capture device coupled to a power system. A data analysis device cross-correlates raw power system data obtained by the data capture device with at least one synchronized pseudo-random sequence signal injected by a signal injection system and determines a condition of the power system based at least in part upon a frequency spectrum based upon a correlated impulse response.

Abstract: A novel digital calendar is disclosed for the retention of a user's schedule and events, and for displaying and communicating the user's schedule and events pursuant to an instruction set that manages the operations of the digital calendar. The digital calendar comprises an oversized display that is retained in a housing, with a keyboard for inputting data, a microprocessor for management of the functions of the digital calendar, a speaker/microphone for inputting and outputting audible messages, and a power supply.

Abstract: A method (1300) and apparatus (300) combines a terminal blockage profile for a ground-to-satellite terminal with satellite location and motion data for one or more satellites (12) in a satellite communication system (10) to predict an impending service outage or impairment on a real-time or near real-time basis and reports such impending outages or impairments, and the expected duration thereof, to the terminal operator. The prediction of an impending outage or impairment also can include analysis of information concerning atmospheric conditions in the vicinity of the terminal location as well as other potential sources of a service outage or impairment.

Abstract: A metal shoe tap provided with a top thin flat horizontal member, a thin lip peripherally secured to said member and extending vertically downward to a bottom essentially horizontal edge, and a plurality of thin horizontally elongated plates which are either parallel or perpendicular to each other. The plates are secured to each other, to the bottom surface of the member and to the lip and extend downward to lower edges which are co-planar with the bottom edge of the lip. These plates define a plurality of generally rectangular cells open at the bottom and closed at the top with certain of said cells having an opening extending entirely through said thin flat horizontal member adapted for receiving a fastening member such as a screw.

Abstract: A device for enhancing the detection of malignant tissue in the breasts of a woman comprises a brassiere-like garment which is fitted with a pair of liquid-perfused cooling panels which completely and compliantly cover the breasts and upper torso. The garment is connected by plastic tubing to a liquid cooling system comprising a fluid pump, a solenoid control valve for controlling the flow of fluid to either the cooling unit or the heating unit, a fluid reservoir, a temperature sensor in the reservoir, and a restrictor valve to control the pressure in the garment inlet cooling line.

Abstract: An improved method for the continuous production of stable aqueous ammonium polyphosphate compositions which are useful as fertilizers and fire retardants. Wet-process superphosphoric acid which is primarily in the orthophosphate form and anhydrous ammonia vapor are combined in a pipe reactor wherein the exothermic ammoniation of the acid and the conversion of a portion of the orthophosphate to polyphosphate caused by the heat liberated in the exothermic ammoniation reaction occur. A stream of the acid is introduced into the interior of a stream of ammonia vapor in the pipe reactor in order to avoid corrosion of the pipe reactor.Water is added to the reaction mixture to quench the conversion reaction and to provide the amount of water that is required in the desired final composition. The resulting stream is combined with a cooler stream of the desired final stable aqueous ammonium polyphosphate wherein the polyphosphate is cooled and the ammoniation is completed rapidly.
