Title: Microwave self-phasing antenna arrays for secure data transmission & satellite network crosslinks
Inventor: TAMAMOTO MICHAEL
IPC: H01Q1/28
Filed: 2004-08-04
Abstract: A high-directivity transponder system uses a dual system of a retrodirective array transmitting a data signal peak toward an interrogator source, and a self-null-steering array transmitting a null toward the interrogator source and a jamming signal elsewhere, resulting in high S/N reception at the interrogator source and avoidance of interception. Integrating modulators would allow each array to transmit different data while the spectra of the transmitted signals are identical, thus disabling interception. The system enables secure point-to-point communications and can be used for short-distance wireless data transmission systems such as wireless LAN and RFID  servers. As another aspect, self-steering signal transmission is employed for randomly oriented satellites using circularly polarized, two-dimensional retrodirective arrays. Quadruple subharmonic mixing is used as an effective means of achieving phase conjugation when a high-frequency LO is not feasible or inapplicable. These features may be used for small-satellite communications, secure tactical communications, search and rescue, enemy location fixing and tracking, UAV command and control, forest fire detection, marine-based tracking, and many other applications requiring secure communications with high signal directivity.

Title: Continuous counter-current bio-diesel refining method
Inventor: HAUGEN HARVEY
IPC: C10G3/00
Filed: 2006-10-02
Abstract: The present invention provides a continuous flow method of producing methyl esters and glycerin from triglycerides. Reaction of methoxide with triglycerides produces glycerin and methyl esters, the methyl esters useful as a biodiesel fuel. The present invention takes advantage of the differences in density of triglycerides, glycerol and methyl esters while providing a method of dealing with the unfavorable density of methoxide to achieve reaction separation of the desired products by a countercurrent mechanism.  Reactants are injected into a central zone in a biodiesel reactor. Lighter methyl esters rise to the top of the reactor, while higher density glycerol settles to the bottom of the reactor.  Ports at the top and bottom facilitate continuous collection of products. The reactor is continually charged with fresh reactant as products are removed, such that a continuous flow system producing biodiesel is provided.
