  • Patent number: 11229379
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for the analysis of gaseous compounds, especially for determining the concentration of a gas or gases in a gas mixture by microwave spectroscopy. Microwave radiation is generated at one or more frequencies the gas is most responsive to, transmitted by antenna, passed through the gas under test, received by antenna, and the absorption and/or reflection of the microwave radiation is measured by means such as digitization and analysis using the FFT spectrum versus energy response generated, the response subsequently used to calculate the gas concentration.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 23, 2019
    Date of Patent: January 25, 2022
    Assignee: NOKOMIS, INC.
    Inventors: James Robert Uplinger, II, Robert M Nichol, Walter John Keller
  • Patent number: 10633291
    Abstract: A window pane for an interceptor missile includes a light transmissive base material and light transmissive additive particles dispersed within a thickness of the light transmissive base material so as to define stress nodes, the stress nodes localizing, upon applied thermal shock or thermal heating, crack propagation around each stress node and/or between two or more adjacent stress nodes and preventing a continuous crack propagation through any one of a length, a width and a thickness of the window pane.

  • Patent number: 10574539
    Abstract: A data store may contain data describing systems associated with an enterprise. The data store may contain electronic records, each containing a record identifier and a set of record characteristic values, including a service tier goal. A compliance score may be automatically calculated based on an assessment of record characteristic values, the service tier goal, and at least a system availability value, an incident response time value, and an incident restoration time value. A remediation recommendation may be generated, including steps that, when performed, will result in the selected system meeting the service tier goal. An indication representing the remediation recommendation may then be transmitted in connection with an interactive user interface display.
