Abstract: A pair of radar nodes, each with full azimuthal coverage, cooperate to identify the position of an object without explicit measurements of the object's azimuthal coordinate. A first radar node, operating within a first azimuth field of view (FOV), measures a first elevation angle and a first slant range of the object. A second radar node, operating within a second azimuth FOV, measures a second elevation angle and a second slant range of the object. The second radar node transmits the data to the first radar node, which identifies, based on the first and second azimuth FOVs, an object half space within which the object is located. The first radar node then calculates the position of the object without an ambiguous solution. Alternatively, the first radar uses the first and second azimuth FOVs to identify and reject the ambiguous solution.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a polyolefin product is disclosed. The method includes the steps of printing an image on a transfer medium, hot pressing a carrier medium (such as a textile or wood product) and the transfer medium such that the image is transferred to the carrier medium, and adhering the carrier medium to a first polyolefin article to produce a polyolefin product. The polyolefin product may then be subject to further processes, such as cutting, thermoforming, etc. into its desired form. An improved method of producing polyolefin products having colorful imagery thereon is provided. A method of manufacturing a case is also disclosed, including printing an image on a transfer medium, hot pressing a carrier medium and the transfer medium such that the image is transferred to a first side of the carrier medium, and assembling a case, wherein a panel for the case includes the carrier medium.

Abstract: A printed foam structure comprising a layer of foamed polyolefin plastic and a layer of textile ink in direct contact with the foamed plastic. The textile ink is preferably a plastisol based ink which preferably comprises a vinyl resin such as polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, or a combination of the two as a co-polymer.
