Abstract: A vaporizer device includes various modular components. The vaporizer device includes a first subassembly. The first subassembly includes a cartridge connector that secures a vaporizer cartridge to the vaporizer device and includes at least two receptacle contacts that electrically communicate with the vaporizer cartridge. The vaporizer device includes a second subassembly. The second subassembly includes a skeleton defining a rigid tray that retains at least a power source. The vaporizer device also includes a third subassembly. The third subassembly includes a plurality of charging contacts that supply power to the power source, and an end cap that encloses an end of the vaporizer device.

Abstract: A covert communication system uses ultraviolet light rather than radio waves as a medium for communication. Suitable wavelengths are chosen by examining atmospheric penetration, attenuation by clouds, presence of interfering sources, and ease of generation and detection. The transmitted ultraviolet light may contain both voice information and other data, impressed upon the light by frequency or pulse modulation using a Pockels cell light modulator. A corresponding receiver can be arranged as a transponder to determine range by phase angle differences between transmitted and reflected waveforms. By using an appropriate lens, the receiver can also determine the angle of incidence of a detected ultraviolet signal, and therefore the bearing of the transmitter.
