Abstract: The disclosed methods, systems, and kits provide the ability to deliver entire clean sheet designs from concept to first hot fire in under six weeks with instant specific impulses above 330 seconds in some of our engines. In examples, thrusters can be delivered that are at less than half of the mass budget allowable for them and they can be delivered in weeks.

Abstract: A system including an adhesive dispensing device and a charger base. The adhesive dispensing device includes a first light emitting device, a handle, a power source, and a power supply interface. The charger base includes a second light emitting device, an interface formed for receiving the adhesive dispensing device, an external power output interface, and a power supply circuit. The external power output interface is configured to electrically couple to the power supply interface of the adhesive dispensing device. The first light emitting device is configured to illuminate in response to power being provided to the power supply interface from the power supply circuit. The second light emitting device is configured to illuminate in response to power being provided to the power supply circuit from the external power output interface.

Abstract: An external environment recognition device 101 estimates a blind spot region around a host vehicle based on information detected by a sensor that detects a target around the host vehicle. The external environment recognition device 101 includes a visibility index determination unit 121 that calculates a visibility index of the target based on a coordinate point and a reflection intensity of the target detected by the sensor, and assigns the visibility index to a region from the host vehicle 200 to the coordinate point of the target, a visibility map storage unit 124 that stores the visibility index as a visibility map in association with the region, and a blind spot region estimation unit 127 that estimates the blind spot region based on the visibility map.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices supporting data storage are described. A database server may store information in a group of files. As more information is stored at the database in the files, the sizes of the files may be increased. Techniques are described for uniformly growing files in the group of files to maintain a similar size for the files as the amount of storage increases. These techniques may prevent one file from becoming disproportionately larger than another file of the file group, supporting efficient read and write operations at the database. The file growth may be based on the file sizes as well as an amount of storage to be added for the group of files. For example, an application managing the file growth may sort the files by size, track uniform growth running totals, and determine file growth commands based on the uniform growth running totals.
