Publication number: 20230390679Abstract: This disclosure provides a two-phase separator device for separating condensate or particulate from a gas stream. In some implementations, the separator device removes water from air and may operate under micro-gravity conditions. The gas stream flows through the two-phase separator device and passes through a rotatable vane assembly along a flow path without being redirected in another flow path. Condensate or particulate in the gas stream is impacted by a plurality of vanes of the rotatable vane assembly, and the condensate is captured by features formed within the plurality of vanes. The captured condensate is accelerated radially outwardly along the each of the plurality of vanes towards a sloped inner wall, and further moved along the sloped inner wall in a direction against the flow path of the gas stream during rotation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Thomas Cognata, Brittany Lynn Zimmerman

Publication number: 20230152430Abstract: A method for jamming a target includes aiming a pulsed laser at the target using a tracking system. The pulsed laser emits a pulsed laser beam at the target, thereby generating plasma that causes sound waves equal to or less than 5 ft from the target. The pulsed laser beam is swept with a frequency range to find a target frequency, thereby jamming the target.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2021Publication date: May 18, 2023Applicant: THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AS REPRESENTED BY THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVYInventors: Bienvenido Melvin L.

Electromagnetic communication with a vortex beam concurrently conveying multiple topological charges
Patent number: 11646795Abstract: A system for electromagnetic communication with a vortex beam concurrently conveys multiple topological charges of orbital angular momentum. The system includes a source, at least one vortex-sensing diffraction grating, and an array of photodetectors. The source generates the vortex beam concurrently conveying a respective number of selected topological charges during each of the time intervals. The selected topological charges for each time interval are selected from a set of available topological charges. The selected topological charges for each time interval encode a symbol of data. The vortex-sensing diffraction grating combines a vortex phase pattern and a linear phase pattern. The vortex sensing diffraction grating produces a diffraction pattern from diffracting the vortex beam received from the source. The array of photodetectors detects portions of the diffraction pattern and from the detected portions recovers the selected topological charges encoding the symbol of each time interval.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2021Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Bienvenido Melvin L.

Patent number: 11444946Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a server system with a processor, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium in data communication with the processor that can store and exchange content data including or representing content derived or received from a server of a social network and/or a user. An application programming interface includes steps executable by the processor to upload, download, or enable access of the content data. A content rights synchronization process is configured to enable the user to assign and/or control a rights access to any of the content data associated with the user. Further, a content engine can monitor for and save the content data as received content when identified, accessed, and/or received by the network. The content metadata and/or the content data is stored for recall in a centralized library database, where rights access is assigned by the at least one user.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2019Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: VYDIA, INC.Inventors: Roy Christopher LaManna, Mark Ivan Allen, Stephen Mark Potter, Nicholas Edward Bobryk, Murty V.

Publication number: 20210017045Abstract: This disclosure provides a water purification system for recovery of purified water from liquid wastewater. The liquid wastewater is converted to a contaminated gas stream using a water distillation technique. The contaminated gas stream is passed through a gas phase photolytic oxidation reaction chamber. An ultraviolet (UV) source in the gas phase photolytic oxidation reaction chamber exposes the contaminated gas stream to UV radiation to remove various contaminants in the gas phase and/or biological pathogens. The gas phase photolytic oxidation reaction chamber forms a purified gas stream from the contaminated gas stream, where the purified gas stream contains water vapor and is substantially free of contaminants. In some embodiments, an ionomer membrane may be placed downstream of a source of the liquid wastewater and upstream of the gas phase photolytic oxidation reaction chamber to treat the contaminated gas stream prior to UV exposure.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2020Publication date: January 21, 2021Inventors: Barry Wynns Finger, Brittany Lynn Zimmerman

Patent number: 10490965Abstract: A method for spatial and intensity control of remote foci locations of an optical beam generated from a light source. First and second, axially-aligned, non-diffractive foci are created by passing the optical beam through a phase mask and a Fourier lens. The phase mask q(s) is designed to have an axial response according to the following equation: E ? ( u ) = ? - ? + ? ? q ? ( s ) ? exp ? ( - 2 ? ? ? ? u 0 ? s ) ? exp ? ( 2 ? ? ? ? us ) ? ds . The properties of the phase mask may be altered to independently vary location and intensity of the first and second foci.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2019Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Bienvenido Melvin L.
