Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless device may perform, on a set of information bits, a distribution matching procedure to obtain a distributed amplitude symbol sequence. In some cases, the wireless device may perform the distribution matching procedure using approximations of quantities of distributed amplitude symbol sequences that each have a same length and a same transmission energy. The wireless device may then encode the distributed amplitude symbol sequence and transmit the encoded distributed amplitude sequence. A device that receives the encoded distributed amplitude sequence may perform a distribution dematching procedure on the distributed amplitude sequence based on approximating quantities of distributed amplitude symbol sequences.

Abstract: An attitude control system for a satellite is presented that can determine on time values for attitude control thrusters without use of attitude rate sensors, such as those based on gyros. The attitude control systems uses the attitude values from a star tracker to determine both attitude adjustment values and attitude adjustment rate values directly from the star tracker values, where the processing is performed using quaternions. From the attitude adjustment values and attitude adjustment rate values, a set of thruster on time values are determined.

Abstract: In embodiments, pressurized fluid containing reagents of formulated mixtures of solids, liquids and gasses are delivered into a cased well then into the heap or pile to open or stimulate new horizontal and vertical fluid pathways, channels, plus drains from the open bottom of the well to the bottom of the heap or pile for fluid collection. This delivery method may also drain any fluids that are retained and pooled in the heap or pile. The removal of pooled fluids will increase the inter-particle cohesion and friction in the heap or pile, thus adding geotechnical stability and resistance to movement of the heap or pile. The cased wells may also add shear strength to the collective to retard movement of the heap or pile.
