Abstract: A method of tracking and assigning personnel in real-time via a wireless communication network includes receiving a request, via the wireless communication network, to perform a task. The method further includes searching a database to identify personnel to perform the task, verifying the availability of identified personnel, assigning available personnel to perform the task, communicating assignment of personnel via the wireless communication network, and updating the database to reflect the assignment.

Abstract: A process for forming a syrup product that is suitable for use as a non-dairy frozen confection. The non-dairy frozen confection exhibits selected sweetness, texture, and mouthfeel characteristics while being devoid of exogenous sweeteners, stabilizers, emulsifiers, and proteins. The process includes blending a base formulation and water to form a slurry, the base formulation having a major amount of an oat material or waxy barley hybrid flour. The process also includes liquefying and saccharifying the slurry to produce the syrup product.

Abstract: 1. An automatic radar jamming transmitter comprising a plurality of voltatuned magnetrons each adapted to be tuned over a prescribed wide range of frequencies, discrete voltage tuning means in circuit with each of said magnetrons respectively whereby each of said magnetrons initially and simultaneously generate radio-frequency energy at prescribed discrete frequencies, means for simultaneously varying said discrete voltage tuning means in a random manner whereby the discrete outputs of said magnetrons comprise simultaneously generated frequency modulated noise signals, means for amplifying said noise signals, and means in circuit with said amplifying means for producing random changes in the amplitudes of said noise signals.

Abstract: 1. A magnetron discharge device for noise generation comprising an elongated cathode, a plurality of spaced anode segments surrounding said cathode to define a cylindrical space charge chamber, and means for establishing a radial electric field between said cathode and said anode segments for imparting an average rotational velocity about the cathode to an electronic space charge when a magnetic field is axially directed through the space charge chamber, said spaced segments and the gaps between them differing in relative widths whereby electrons traveling under different segments and gaps have different transit times.

Abstract: 1. A magnetron discharge device for noise generation comprising an elongated cathode and a plurality of anode segments surrounding said cathode to define a cylindrical space charge chamber, said cathode comprising a helix having a diameter equal to at least half the space charge chamber diameter and having a spacing between adjacent turns equal to at least half the helix diameter.
