  • Patent number: 12129052
    Abstract: Systems and methods for achieving pristine microgravity in low earth orbit (LEO) using electric propulsion. Long-duration, low thrust, electric thrusters provide a constant thrust force for a pristine microgravity environment within a given volume of a space vehicle experiencing drag forces in LEO. Large space vehicles in LEO configured to be pressurized for human habitation, for instance having a mass of at least 40,000 kg and an internal volume of at least 400 m3, can use the electric propulsion systems and methods to achieve a quasi-steady acceleration less than or equal to 1.0 ?g for durations of 180 consecutive days or longer.

  • Patent number: 11377420
    Abstract: A highly effective synthetic route to produce donor-acceptor azetines through the highly enantioselective [3+1]-cycloaddition of silyl-protected enoldiazoacetates with aza-ylides using chiral copper(I) catalysis is provided. In one embodiment, the 2-azetidine cycloaddition products undergo generation of 3-azetidinones by reactions with nucleophiles that produce a broad spectrum of peptide products by the retro-Claisen reaction provided by facile strain with high efficacy and complete retention of enantiopurity. This ring opening reaction uncovers a new methodology for the attachment of chiral peptide units to a variety of amines and alcohols, and tolerates a broad scope of nucleophiles including naturally occurring amines, alcohols, amino acids, and other nitrogen based nucleophiles.

  • Patent number: 11032102
    Abstract: Various embodiments that pertain to a bridge between networks. There can be a desire for a first communication network to share messages with a second communication network. However, these networks can individually have their own security measures that make direct network-to-network communication difficult if not impossible. Therefore, a bridge can be created that allows for communication between the networks.

  • Patent number: 10063549
    Abstract: A technique of supporting multi-factor authentication uses a database server. The technique involves receiving suspicious user activity data from a first set of authentication servers and storing the suspicious user activity data from the first set of authentication servers, as sharable authentication data, in a database of the database server. The technique further involves providing the sharable authentication data from the database to a second set of authentication servers. Each authentication server of the second set of authentication servers performs multi-factor authentication operations based on (i) local authentication data which is gathered by that authentication server and (ii) the sharable authentication data provided from the database. Accordingly, useful authentication data from one authentication server (e.g.

  • Patent number: 9981533
    Abstract: A liftgate/decklid assembly for a motor vehicle includes a liftgate panel hingedly connected to the vehicle to define a liftgate swing arc. A decklid panel is hingedly connected to the liftgate panel to define a decklid swing arc. The decklid and liftgate panels are not aligned, causing the decklid swing arc to be different from the liftgate swing arc. The assembly further includes a liftgate/decklid assembly closure mechanism including an articulating striker configured for translation between a first orientation and a second orientation. The first orientation is normal to the liftgate swing arc and the second orientation is normal to the decklid swing arc.
