Abstract: Broadband wireless data network systems and commercial methods for delivery of wireless communication services are described. The network systems utilize wavelengths in the E-band of the spectrum, and are mounted to aircraft. The aircraft based platform transmits communications data wirelessly at altitudes of 35,000 feet or greater, forms an airborne wireless mesh network nation-wide, and utilizes ground station network gateways to connect ground based communications and data devices.

Abstract: Power generation and transmission components and methods of manufacture are described in which a component is custom designed and produced in discrete layers using computer numerical controlled machining. The design is separated into layers, and the layers are individually machined to impart design features. The layers are then prepared for, and undergo a brazing process in order to build a functionally unitary mechanical component. Components according to the invention include, but are not limited to, engine blocks, cylinder heads, transmission housings, centrifugal pump housings, cylinder blocks, monoblocs (engines in which the cylinder block and cylinder head are formed as one unit), engine crank cases, automotive power train housings and many other large unit or unitary structure components. A commercial method of producing custom components is also described.

Abstract: Novel rotary valve assemblies and valve components for use with an internal combustion engine are disclosed. Valve seal assembly anchors are also described. Selected valve port geometries and axial adjustment for variable valve area for desired engine efficiency and performance are described. Novel seal assemblies and arrangements for sealing and heat transfer are also described.
