Title: Methods of preparing polyhemiaminals and polyhexahydrotriazines
Inventor: JAMES LUPTON HEDRICK
IPC: C08G12/08
Filed: 2014-09-28
Abstract: Polyhexahydrotriazine (PHT) film layers are formed by a process comprising heating a first mixture comprising i) a solvent, ii) paraformaldehyde, and iii) a diamine monomer comprising two primary aromatic amine groups at a temperature of about 20°C to less than 150 °C. This heating step forms a stable polyhemiaminal (PHA) in solution, which can be cast on a surface of a substrate, thereby forming an initial film layer comprising the PHA. The initial film layer is heated at a temperature of 180°C to about 280°C, thereby converting the PHA film layer to a PHT film layer. Young's moduli of about 8 GPA to about 14 GPA have been observed for the PHT film layers.

Title: Configuring cryptographic systems
Inventor: DEVEN J ANTHONY
IPC: G06F21/57
Filed: 2016-07-29
Abstract: This application aims to provide an improved way of updating the cryptographic systems of aircraft 400. It does so by first generating a cryptographic key configuration (CKC) on a remote terminal that is separate from the aircraft. This is done by first receiving data that is indicative of a user specifying a CKC action 402. It then accesses a database that stores the cryptographic information 404, and generates the CKC 406. The CKC is then transferred to a removable data cartridge, or storage device 408. The user can then engage this device with an avionic transfer system 410, and the avionic transfer system is then automatically configured based on the CKC 412. The cryptographic key configuration can also include data that maps authorised users to cryptographic ignition keys, as well as data that maps one or more cryptographic keys to one or more cryptographic units. The removable data storage device can also include a dedicated key memory that can store cryptographic keys.

Title: A direct coupled biasing circuit for high frequency applications
Inventor: KHONG-MENG THAM
IPC: H04B5/00
Filed: 2012-06-16
Abstract: Amplifier (e.g RF or microwave amplifier to drive antenna) comprises an adjustable biasing voltage coupled through a parallel LC load (tank L1) to the output of a first stage (transistor MOSFET N2), which is directly coupled to an input of a second or final (next) stage (transistor MOSFET N3), and whereby at least one characteristic such as quiescent or bias current of second stage N3 is controlled by adjustment of the biasing voltage. This circuit may comprise a reference transistor N1 which is a scaled version of the second or final stage transistor N3. An adjustable current source I4, (or switchable scaled reference transistors of width Wa,Wb,Wc figure 2b) may provide the adjustable reference bias voltage whereby the reference transistor N1 is driven in saturation. The second or final stage transistor may also have a second parallel LC circuit L2 coupling the supply VDD to its output. An input signal Vin on the first stage input (transistor N2) may pass to the output of the first stage 1-6 forming an intermediate signal which is directly coupled to the second stage input (transistor N3). Alternatively a control loop (e.g unity gain operational amplifier) may monitor a biasing voltage to generate an adjustable biasing voltage fed to the parallel LC load L1. Direct coupling, for example with a metallic trace, eliminates the need for capacitor or transformer coupling and undesirable parasitic capacitance/inductance effects in 60GHz microwave circuits, where interstate distances must be minimized. This approach is also economic in terms of IC die area. A method of use is also included.
