Abstract: The exemplary embodiments disclose a method, a computer program product, and a computer system for managing vegetation. The exemplary embodiments may include collecting data of a geospatial region, extracting one or more features from the collected data, evaluating a state of vegetation of the geospatial region based on applying one or more models to the extracted features, creating and assigning one or more work orders based on the evaluation, and upon a change of a status of the work order, adjusting the one or more models to reflect one or more changes to the state of vegetation.

Abstract: A fuel reactor particularly adopted for the efficient combustion of wood and wood-product fuels includes a core comprised of an inner fuel tube and an outer gas tube. Fuel is introduced into one end of the fuel tube and the combustion process is initiated. Perforations in the gas tube allow the combustion gas to progress down the fuel tube and combine with air in the gas tube. A high temperature is maintained on the gas tube to enhance the combustion process. In addition, high temperature-high pressure steam and air are introduced into the core to increase the reactivity rate of char products. The high temperature-high pressure steam is produced by a novel steam pump. The combustion gases are further processed through a gas dispersion chamber, including dispersion plates, and a gas expansion chamber. Heat is extracted from the combustion gases via a novel heat exchanger which includes a gas dispersion shelf, a radiating heat exchanger plate, a primary heat exchanger, and a condensing heat exchanger.

Abstract: A solid fuel combustion chamber combusts the fuel utilizing underfire and overfire air. Both the underfire and overfire air derive from a common intake port, with a controllable vane determining the ratio between the two air sources. Gas flow from the solid fuel combustion chamber enters a gas combustion chamber designed to produce turbulence and thereby promote further combustion. The gas flow is then accelerated in a gas flow chamber and directed to the circulating fluid carrying tubes of a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger includes a condensation chamber which extracts sufficient heat from the gas flow to produce a condensate. An injection system superheats the condensate and injects it into the solid fuel combustion chamber to thereby reduce residue accumulation.

Abstract: An electronic counter counter-measure (ECCM) system for overcoming the effect of sidelobe repeater or stand off jammer type electronic counter measures (ECM). A primary monopulse type antenna is divided into four quadrants for transmission and reception with the received sum and difference signals being combined in a ferrite modulator. When ECM is detected, the reception pattern is switched so that only the difference signals from the modulator are utilized for the received energy. The power at the receiver in response to only difference signals, relative to the conventional power, allows a threshold to be established to allow blanking of the radar display in a narrow azimuth region about the true azimuth position of the jamming source. The displayed azimuth region that is affected by the jammer, is reduced to only a few degrees on either side of the jammer position.

Abstract: An airplane with an electric motor and rechargable battery pack are disclosed herein. The electric motor is of the high performance variety (i.e., it has a very high power rating for its size and weight). Means are provided for producing a high velocity blast of cooling air directly onto the rotating armeture for rapidly dissipating the waste heat generated inside of the motor. Means are also provided for obtaining a large power output from the battery pack and for very rapidly recharging the battery pack. A remote control system is included for controlling the operation of the airplane from a remote location.

Abstract: A simplified and reliable system for electronically controlling the angular position relative to an antenna axis of the ground areas from which radar signals are received and processed so that air-to-ground range may be measured accurately regardless of the roll angle of the aircraft in which the radar is mounted. In a radar silent lobing system in which lobing is done on reception of the transmitted signals, the roll compensation system provides direct current signals which are proportional to the sine and cosine of one-half the roll angle and which are selectively applied to the pole pairs of the azimuth and elevation poles of the ferrite modulator that is utilized in the lobing system. During range determining operations, first and second pole pairs each of an azimuth and elevation pole, or group of azimuth and elevation poles, are energized or selected during alternate lobing or pulse repetition frequency intervals. The system functions at any roll angle .alpha.
