Abstract: The Loop-Slot Antenna design provides a large range of tunable frequencies for transceiving while maintaining a small profile perfect for mounting on vehicles or other objects where a large antenna is impractical or infeasible. As compared with known vertical polarization antennas that have considerable height, for instance quarter-wave and half-wave vertical stubs of h=?/4 or h=?/2, the antenna of this invention has height of h=?/100.

Abstract: This patent application asserts application of a spot-mixture of nanoparticles in barcoding of information for security and protection. ID encoding and subsequent readout is made using the distinctive spectral features of the spot-mixture of nanoparticles defined as a tiny, invisible spots made up of absorbing and fluorescent nanoparticles whose spectral properties will be used for security ID signatures.

Abstract: A method for oil-based fuel dispersion in the form of micron and submicron Droplets with typical size distribution 0.5-20 microns where said Droplets are coated with a polymer-based shell containing metal nanoparticles that enable the droplets to absorb laser irradiation and utilize laser energy to initialize fuel burning. These encapsulated fuel Droplets are used primarily within engines to increase the power, efficiency, and stability of the engine.

Abstract: Beehive walls created by using a thin metallic sheet and insulation, separated by an air space in order to protect the bees from harmful electromagnetic waves, create a warm environment, and properly ventilate the hive. This will increase honey production throughout the year while providing a comfortable living environment. This method is both effective and affordable.
