Abstract: A method for preparing a dispersion of nanoparticles of a solid organic dye or pigment in a liquid carrier, the method comprising continuously mixing: at least one solution or slurry containing a reactant precursor for the solid organic dye or pigment in an organic or other solvent with the liquid carrier in a counter current mixing reactor whereby to obtain reaction of the reactant precursor and formation of the solid organic dye or pigment as a dispersion of nanoparticles in the liquid carrier and solvent mixture; optionally, removing unreacted reactant precursor and/or by-product from the dispersion when present; and optionally, concentrating the dispersion.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for receiving and processing a plurality of GNSS signals in a geo-location application to determine location, orientation and/or motion characteristics of a body on which the GNSS signal processing system is located. The system and method provide for precise synchronization of measurements of various signals and data associated with the GNSS signal processing system (including GPS systems), and provide for flexible configuration and allocation of resources used to receive and process GNSS signals to minimize power consumption and maximize efficiency and accuracy of the GNSS signal processing system. The flexibility of the system and method further provide for the scaling of one hardware system to address situations in which more or fewer antennas are employed, in which more or fewer data processing paths are needed, and in which the system is employed to determine various combinations of location, orientation, and motion characteristics.

Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to cooking pans. In one example, a cooking pan comprises a dome-shaped draining surface that slopes downwardly from a center portion toward a first side and an opposite second side, and slopes downwardly from the center portion toward a first end and an opposite second end; and a plurality of ribs extending upwardly from the draining surface, wherein each of the ribs comprises a raised cooking surface at a distal end.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device and method for determining the direction of a false Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) satellite signal transmitter. False GNSS satellite signals can be used malevolently to take control of a rigid body such as a vehicle or ship that is using GNSS satellite signals for navigation. The GNSS device according to the invention computes a plurality of range differences, where each range difference is the difference between a range from a first GNSS satellite to a first GNSS antenna, and the range from the first GNSs satellite to a second GNSS antenna. Each of the plurality of range differences is correlated to a rotation angle of a baseline vector extending from the first GNSS antenna to the second GNSS antenna. The rotation angles and their corresponding range differences can be used to indicate the direction of the false GNSS satellite signal transmitter.

Abstract: A filler wire (consumable) for depositing self-lubricating materials in a system for any of brazing, cladding, building up, filling, hard-facing overlaying, welding, and joining applications. The filler wire is composed of a base filler material consistent with commonly known compositions. For example, the base filler material can comprise standard materials used in many standard mild steel wires. In addition to the base filler materials, the consumable includes self-lubricating materials. The self-lubricating materials include at least one of graphite particles and graphite powder, and can include other self-lubricating materials.
