  • Patent number: 8332820
    Abstract: A method and system for testing a computer system is provided. In one implementation the method and system may include receiving a script footprint that includes dimension-effect values corresponding to the number of times a computer system dimension is affected by the script. Target information may also be received. The target information includes target dimension values corresponding to a desired number of times per time period each dimension should be affected. The method and system may determining the number of times to execute the scripts within the time period so as to minimize the difference between the actual number of times dimensions are affected and the target-dimension value per time period. The method and system may also execute the script on the computer system the determined number of times within the time period.

  • Patent number: 7859479
    Abstract: An antenna for a compact satellite terminal. Antenna is a rigid parabolic structure of metal matrix composite capable of disassembly into segments affording a high degree of portability such as for man-packable satellite terminals and the like. A shallow feed horn assembly is joined to an orthomode transducer by a common hub, the hub also serving as the attachment point for a plurality of antenna segments, where a quick release means joins the segments to the hub. The feed horn, hub, orthomode transducer and antenna segments are designed for extremely compact stowability in a variety of applications.

  • Patent number: 4407494
    Abstract: A toy aircraft formed of corrugated paperboard. A generally rectangular fuselage has a canopy secured to its upper surface and laterally projecting wings secured to its side walls. The fuselage has large openings in the top and bottom walls through which a child may thrust the upper portion of his body with his head contained within the canopy so that the child can carry the aircraft around and simulate flying maneuvers.
