  • Publication number: 20220086085
    Abstract: This application discloses a neural network that also functions as a secure packet data network using an MPLS-type label switching technology capable of transporting classified information. The neural network uses its intelligence to build and manage label switched paths (LSPs) to securely transport user packets and solve complex mathematical problems. This architecture is well suited to interconnect large numbers of processors or computers into a secure neural network exhibiting advanced intelligence which can be used for complex activities such as supporting the Defense Industry or managing the power grid. However, the methods taught here can be applied to other data networks including ad-hoc, mobile, Information Centric, Content Centric, Sensor, and traditional IP packet networks, cell or frame-switched networks, time-slot networks and the like.

  • Patent number: 9360346
    Abstract: A system of monitoring a black cell environment using sensors is presented, in which the sensors can be easily replaced during a sealed period of the black cell environment. The black-cell monitoring system includes at least one sealed vessel that is disposed within the black cell environment. The vessel is configured to store a hazardous mixed substance and is sealed from the external environment for a pre-determined amount of time. The black-cell monitoring system also includes at least one tubing that extends from the outside of the vessel to the inside of the vessel. The black-cell monitoring system also includes a fiber optic cable that is disposed within the lumen of the tubing. At least a portion of the fiber optic cable is disposed within a portion of the tubing located inside the sealed vessel.

  • Patent number: 5771639
    Abstract: A shelter (1) comprising an array of substantially rigid panels (2, 3, 4) hingedly joined together, the arrangement being such that a central polygonal roof panel (2) is surrounded by a number of wall panels (3) equal in number to the sides of the polygon, each wall panel having an edge hingedly attached to an edge of the roof panel, and a tension element (20) being arranged to extend along the edges of the wall panels remote from the roof panel in such a way that by applying tension to the tension element, adjacent edges of respective wall panels can be brought together to form a three-dimensional structure.
