Abstract: A Reconfigurable, Flexible Multi-User (RFMU) electronically steered antenna (ESA) includes a top panel and a number of side panels that enable many contacts simultaneously with varying gain requirements from a single, in situ, installation. The top panel includes multiple subarrays and can communicate with flyover satellites, and the side panels can communicate with satellites flying past a side of the ESA. The top panel and the side panels can achieve a beam steering that covers a full or partial, variable gain, hemispheric field-of-view (FoV). The RFMU ESA terminal top and side panels are scalable using flexible modular building blocks. This enables increased contacts, increased gain or a combination thereof sized to meet desired performance.

Abstract: In a system having a component 106 which is capable of reacting with a gaseous contaminant in a gas stream, a purifier assembly 102 is positionable in the gas stream and comprises a purifier medium 112 that reacts with the gaseous contaminant in a manner in which is substantially similar to the manner in which the component 106 reacts with the gaseous contaminant.

Abstract: A purification assembly (10) includes a block (20) and a purification element (40) disposed in the block (20). The block (20) includes first (50) and second (60) pieces attachable to each other and has first (22) and second (24) flow paths. The block (20) also includes a cavity (30) defined by the first (50) and second (60) pieces and disposed in the first (22) flow path. The purification element (40) is disposed in the cavity (30) and in the first fluid flow path (22), wherein fluid flowing through the first fluid flow path (22) passes through the purification element (40). A method for purifying gas includes directing gas through a purification assembly installed between a fluid device (10) and a manifold (2).
