  • Publication number: 20240103143
    Abstract: False radar target detection incudes: generating a pair of entangled photons as a probe photons and idler photons; preparing a plurality of photon states; using the ancilla photon states to encode the probe photons and the idler photons; encoding the probe photons and the idler photons with the ancilla photon states; storing the idler photons; transmitting the probe and ancilla photons as a radar signal; receiving a return radar signal from the target; performing a quantum error detection on the return radar signal to determine whether there is an error in the received radar signal as a result of decoherence in the return signal; and correlating the probe signal, the idler states and analyzing the errors detected on the return radar signal to determine whether the target is a true target when there is low decoherence in the return radar signal.

  • Publication number: 20220403151
    Abstract: A polyethylene copolymer blend consisting essentially of (A) an ethylene/unsaturated carboxylic ester bipolymer and (B) an ethylene/unsaturated carboxylic ester/carbon monoxide terpolymer. The polyethylene copolymer blend is defined by constituents (A) and (B) and at least one omitted material that would have otherwise restricted a physical property of the blend. The (A) ethylene/unsaturated carboxylic ester bipolymer is defined by features comprising choice of unsaturated carboxylic ester, unsaturated carboxylic ester comonomeric content in weight percent (wt %), and bipolymer melt index (I2; 190° C., 2.16 kg) in grams per 10 minutes (g/10 min.). The (B) ethylene/unsaturated carboxylic ester/carbon monoxide terpolymer is defined by features comprising choice of unsaturated carboxylic ester, unsaturated carboxylic ester comonomeric content in wt %, carbon monoxide comonomeric content in wt %, and terpolymer melt index (I2; 190° C., 2.16 kg) in g/10 min.

  • Patent number: 6545091
    Abstract: Polyethylene-based adhesive compositions which contain as little as 5 weight percent, and up to 35 weight percent of an acid-grafted metallocene polyethylene have superior peel strength to comparable compositions containing an acid grafted non-metallocene polyethylene. Compositions where the acid-grafted metallocene polyethylene component is based on a metallocene polyethylene having a melt-flow ratio of less than 6.53 and an Mw/Mn of greater than the melt flow ratio less 4.63 are as good adhesive compositions as those based on metallocene resins falling outside these parameters.
