  • Hermetic covering system and method for a projectile
    Patent number: 8651023
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a hermetic covering system includes a projectile and at least one bag. The projectile has a body and a component that houses moisture-sensitive equipment. The at least one bag may be coupled to the body such that the projectile protrudes through the opening and the component is disposed in the inner cavity to protect the component during storage of the projectile.

  • Compact broadband antenna
    Patent number: 7283103
    Abstract: A compact broadband antenna. The antenna includes a first mechanism for receiving input electromagnetic energy. A second mechanism provides radiated electromagnetic energy upon receipt of the input electromagnetic energy. The radiated electromagnetic energy is provided via an antenna element having one or more angled surfaces. A third mechanism directs the radiated electromagnetic energy in a specific direction. In a more specific embodiment, the third mechanism includes a reflective backstop that is selectively positioned behind the second mechanism to reflect back-radiated energy forward of the second mechanism, thereby causing reflected electromagnetic energy to combine in phase with forward-radiated energy from the second mechanism. The third mechanism further includes plural layers of dielectric material.
