Abstract: A post launch pressurized gas production system and method includes a cell containing a pressurized gas producing medium, such as anhydrous sodium bicarbonate producing CO2 gas when heated. A plenum tank is in fluid communication with the cell. A heater heats the cell to produce gas delivered to the plenum tank storing the gas therein under pressure. A pressure vessel includes a propellant therein pressurized by the gas and in fluid communication with a thruster for delivery of the propellant to the thruster after pressurization by the gas.

Abstract: In many environments such as municipal, military and construction the use of digital and paper systems permits end users to create or modify features on digital document, attributes associated with those features, or attribute values associated with those features. The attribute value management system includes a digital pen, at least one digital document, one or more computing devices, and a number of software programs for creating data relationships between the digital documents (e.g., features on maps and their underlying attribute values), interpreting voice or handwritten data, validating the interpreted data, and uploading the validated data to a geo-database. The attribute value management system functions to create, update or otherwise change the attribute values associated with the features by a temporal association method; a linked identification method; or a direct handwriting method.

Abstract: A digital paper-enabled product includes digital paper with a digital pattern that spatially cooperates with one or more features or boundaries printed on the pattern. More specifically, a system cooperating with the product may include spatial information systems that manage the features or boundaries and communicates with a writing instrument that was used to effect changes to the digital paper-enabled product. In one embodiment, the digital paper-enabled product may take the form of a sheet of digital paper bearing a digital pattern and where action icons (e.g. user intended actions) and/or features (e.g. such as map features) or a spatial reference frame are printed onto the digital pattern and where at least one action palette is printed onto the digital pattern, correlated therewith, and usable to effect changes to the product.

Abstract: An iodine fueled plasma generator system includes a plasma generator. At least one storage vessel is configured to store condensed phase iodine therein. A heating device proximate to the storage vessel is configured to create iodine vapor from the condensed phase iodine. A propellant management subsystem is configured to deliver the iodine vapor to the plasma generator. A feedback control subsystem is responsive to one or more of plasma generator discharge current, the pressure of the iodine vapor, and/or the temperature of the iodine vapor configured to regulate the flow rate of the iodine vapor to the plasma generator.

Abstract: A digital palette and a digital pen device are used to create or manipulate a digital document to provide complex information using features, such as graphical features selected from stencils, shapes, and connectors and possibly to apply one or more attributes to the digital document. The digital palette may have a custom layout. The features on the digital palette may be selected from a variety of sources, such as digital stencil libraries. The digital palette and digital document may be arranged on the same or different sheets of digital paper overlying one or more digital patterns. Information communicated from the digital palette to the digital document may be uploaded, processed, reviewed, changed and stored in a computer. Lastly, the digital document may be finalized and printed to incorporate all changes previously made using the digital palette, the digital pen device and the computer.

Abstract: Methods, techniques, and systems for icon automated generation and placement are provided. Some embodiments provide an icon generation and placement system configured to ingest one or more icon templates, wherein the icon templates comprise an icon symbol, an icon label, and an icon dimensionality; populate source data for the one or more icon templates, wherein the source data is accessible by at least one of a speech recognition subsystem, handwriting recognition subsystem, and sketch recognition subsystem; generate an icon attribute table for the one or more icon templates; store the ingested one or more icon templates in an icon database; and place an icon, from the icon database into a selected location within a digital document in response to one or more multimodal inputs.
