Title: Method of making laser-markable fibers or fiber products
Inventor: LOYRION FREDERIC
IPC: D01F6/62
Filed: 2004-05-14
Granted: 2009-07-16
Abstract: The present invention provides a fiber or fiber product comprising an artificial fiber and filler incorporated therein, the filler being a filler whose own color changes or a filler mixture whose entire color appears to change by irradiation with a laser beam. The filler whose own color changes by irradiation with a laser beam is preferably barium sulfate or diantimony. The filler is usually in the form of particles with a mean particle diameter of not more than about 15 mum. When the fiber or fiber product of the invention is irradiated with a laser beam, the fiber changes color in the irradiated portion, so that a minute mark can be produced on the individual spun yarns or filament yarns of the fiber or fiber product.

Title: Magnetic and electrostatic confinement of plasma in a field reversed configuration
Inventor: GARATE EUSEBIO
IPC: G21B1/05
Filed: 2007-06-22
Granted: 2011-04-21
Abstract: A system and method for containing plasma and forming a Field Reversed Configuration (FRC) magnetic topology are described in which plasma ions are contained magnetically in stable, non-adiabatic orbits in the FRC. Further, the electrons are contained electrostatically in a deep energy well, created by tuning an externally applied magnetic field. The simultaneous electrostatic confinement of electrons and magnetic confinement of ions avoids anomalous transport and facilitates classical containment of both electrons and ions. In this configuration, ions and electrons may have adequate density and temperature so that upon collisions they are fused together by nuclear force, thus releasing fusion energy. Moreover, the fusion fuel plasmas that can be used with the present confinement system and method are not limited to neutronic fuels only, but also advantageously include advanced fuels.

Title: Navigational planning and display method for the sailor's dilemma when heading upwind
Inventor: SUMMERS CRAIG
IPC: G01C21/20
Filed: 2007-04-12
Granted: 2014-04-17
Abstract: A method is disclosed that resolves a long-standing seafaring problem of how close to the wind to sail. Sailboats need a convenient way to determine the optimal heading to minimize the Tacking Time to Destination (TTD). Unlike Velocity Made Good (VMG), the method disclosed here allows route planning before the trip, predicts travel time on different points of sail, allows comparison of the optimal tacking routes, and also plots the different routes so that it is inherently obvious that a particular tacking angle is longer and more off-course but will arrive sooner because of the speed on that heading. These principles can be implemented with manual dials that define the distance and speed, to calculate the relative or actual travel time on a leg without using electronics. Software is also described that visually illustrates the current and optimal headings by calculating Tacking Time to Destination before departure.
