Abstract: A portable fuel metering system (PMU) is described. The PMU has one or more flow meters capable of metering the flow of fluids, such as fuel, as the fluid is transferred from a source to a receiver. The PMU may include a telemetry unit configured to transmit parameters related to the fuel transfer to remote location. The PMU may be configured in a light, portable package that may be carried by one or two people. The PMU may include a power generator that is configured to use the flow of fluid to the PMU to generate power for the PMU's operation.

Abstract: A method implemented by a software for a multimodal evaluation engine stored on a memory is provided herein. The software is executable by a processor coupled to the memory to cause the method. The method includes receiving multimodal signatures of an object of interest from inspection elements and processing the multimodal signatures to transform the multimodal signatures into formats. The method also includes generating data representations of the formats and detecting whether anomalies are present within the object of interest based on the data representations.

Abstract: A multimodal inspection system (MIS) is disclosed herein. The MIS may use one or more modalities to inspect a sample. Some of the modalities include, but are not limited to, Raman, visible (VIS), terahertz (THz) spectroscopy, longwave infrared (LWIR), shortwave infrared (SWIR), laser profilometry (LP), electromagnetic interference (EMI) near field probing, and/or, Millimeter Wave (MMW) radar.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement and a method for efficient, non-linear light conversion. The object of the present invention of specifying an arrangement for efficient, non-linear light conversion, which simultaneously optimally fulfills the local conversion rate, the interaction scale, and the dispersive properties, is achieved in that the arrangement is provided in the form of a component, which comprises an optical waveguide or an optical fiber with or without cavities, wherein said arrangement consists of fiber cladding substrate or waveguide substrate (IV) with an adapted geometry, which defines the light-guiding properties of the fiber mode with designed dispersion properties (VI), and wherein the waveguide or the core carries a grown, atomically-thin layer of transition metal dichalcogenides in the form of crystallites, wherein this layer completely or partially covers the waveguide or the core.

Abstract: Tamper-proof covers for enclosing hose connectors or cable connectors are described. The tamper proof covers may include first and second sections configured to fit about the long axis of the connector and to join to cover at least a portion of the connector so that the connector cannot be disconnected without removing the cover. The sections may be held in place using a cable seal, which must be cut to remove the cover.

Abstract: The disclosed discrete or continuous optical delay is a medium with high transmission, a high index of refraction and a low dispersion coefficient at the wavelength of light of interest. One side of the medium, orthogonal to the incident light, is fabricated to delay the light at discrete values in a periodic pattern that repeats as the optical delay rotates. The disclosed discrete or continuous optical delay enables the creation of compact interferometry equipment to be used outside a laboratory environment.

Abstract: A mobile fuel monitoring system (MMU) is disclosed. The fuel monitoring system may be skid mounted and is configured to monitor fuel transfers between a fuel source and a vessel, such as a ship. The disclosed MMU is a stand-alone, self-contained unit that can be easily moved from place to place. The MMU is configured to monitor and remotely report custody transfers of fuel performed at any location. Parameters of the fuel transfer operation, such as the amount of fuel transferred, the flow rate, the fuel density, and fuel temperature can be monitored and alarms may be issued if any of the parameters are out of specification. The parameter values may be transmitted to a remote location, for example, via a satellite link.

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring complex transactions, such as international physical oil and petroleum trading and shipping transactions are disclosed. The disclosed systems include equipment installed on a vessel, such as a tanker, configured to monitor the quality and quantity of oil loaded onto and discharged from the vessel. The system also includes a remote data center configured to receive the cargo information from the vessel-board equipment. The remote data center is also configured to securely maintain information and documents generated during the transaction, such as financial documents, quality and quantity reports, bills of lading, and the like. The system provides a portal whereby stakeholders in the transaction can monitor all aspects of the transaction.
