A Blended Wing Body SUAV and MUAV is disclosed having a novel airfoil profile, wing configuration, rigging and tractor pull propeller placement that provide improved stability and safety characteristics over prior art SUAVs and MUAVs of comparable size and weight. This unique blended wing design includes wing twist on the outboard wing and an inverted “W” shaped planform to provide lateral and longitudinal stability, and smooth, even flight characteristics throughout the range of the expected flight envelope. These flight characteristics are crucial to providing a stable reconnaissance platform with favorable stall speeds, an increased payload and the ability to hand launch without the danger of exposing ones hands or wrist to a propeller.

The windmill assembly is a low drag, streamlined body of revolution that captures the kinetic energy content of the accelerated laminar air surrounding the body. The assembly includes a power-generating, wind-driven turbine that is compact, lightweight and capable of producing a substantially greater output than a conventional windmill with a comparable size rotor. The turbine includes a protruding aerodynamic nose and outer cowling that provide a streamlined, wind-collecting inlet section that constricts the incoming air stream and increases its velocity through the turbine blades. The turbine further includes an exit section designed to exhaust the air stream with a minimum of turbulence. One or more generators are coupled to a turbine wheel, and are electrically switched on and off to maximize the energy capture over the full range of ambient winds. The wind turbine assembly may be configured around a blimp-type body having counter-rotating turbine assemblies.

On-line dynamic corrections adjustment method

A small pinhole aperture and a scintillator are used to observe resolution in a charged particle beam system which is particularly applicable to electron beam projection devices in which the beam is several orders of magnitude larger than the desired resolution and minimum feature size to be produced. A pattern having a feature which is of comparable size to the desired resolution to be observed is scanned across the aperture in two dimensions and a synchronized display of measured light output from the scintillator allows real-time observation of the effects of correction adjustments on the resolution of the system. In this manner, a rough adjustment to near optimum corrections can be obtained over the deflection field in a much reduced number of iterations.

Food article packaging apparatus and method

Packaging apparatus and method for inserting food articles into a bag of comparable size. The apparatus has a conveyor that orients the product along a longitudinal axis and delivers the food article to a tray disposed below the conveyor so the product drops from the conveyor and onto the tray. The tray and conveyor move at speeds selected so the product maintains its longitudinal orientation as it drops from the conveyor into the product tray. A bag scoop holds the bag mouth open while the tray carrying the product advances into the bag. A product stripper moves into a position behind the bagged product after passage of the tray so that when the tray returns to its start position, the stripper butts against the end of the product and holds the product while the tray slides out of the bag.

Electrical ionizer

An electrical ionizer comprising a fan (5) for producing a laminar flow of air; a positive ion emitter (6b) for ejecting positive ions into the flow of air; a negative ion emitter (6a) for ejecting negative ions into the flow of air; a positive voltage supply (27) to the positive ion emitter; a negative voltage supply (28) to the negative ion emitter; and a microprocessor (30) for controlling the positive and negative voltages to obtain a desired ion balance in the flow of air. The fan (5) is a crossflow fan, resulting in a highly uniform and laminar beam of air along the entire length of the fan, with reduced gaps in the air flow and consistent velocity of air, improving ion balance. The use of a crossflow fan also enables the operating mechanism to be contained within a simple “teardrop” profile, and for operative parts of the device, for example the motor, the bearings, and electronics such as printed circuit boards to be housed outside the air flow, thereby eliminating a possible source of contamination of the air flow. For a comparable size of ionizer enclosure, approximately twice the mass flow, at higher velocities, can be generated as a similar conventional device using axial fans, and at reduced noise levels.

Method and device for investigating substance libraries

The aim of the invention is to investigate the bonding of substances to target molecules. This is achieved by means of a densely packed device wherein various target molecules are bonded in a large number of sample areas. Cross-contamination and evaporation need to be minimized. The active surface of the sample areas have to be maximized. The inventive solution resides in the use of carrier plates, containing densely packed capillary structures and having a very large inner surface despite small outer dimensions. 1000 times more molecules can be bonded than on a flat outer surface of a comparable size. Cross contamination is avoided by the lack of cross links between the capillaries. Evaporation is minimized by a small outer surface. After the inner surface of the capillaries has been silanized, peptides and peptidomimetics are synthesized in a locally targeted manner. The molecular interactions of components of the substance library with active substances in a solution or a suspension are investigated by means of a local resolution optical detection method. Handling, especially cleaning and covering with substances, is carried out in a simple manner by rinsing liquids through the capillary plate.

Vehicle, Process and Systme for Mass Transporation

A mass transportation system deploys dual use vehicles that transfer between a primary track and streets via a secondary or switching track. The dual use vehicles have comparable size and weight to ordinary automobiles but are configured to engage the primary track via either the street tires or a co-axially disposed wheel. When engaging the primary track the vehicles travel clustered in pods or groups for higher speed travel than on ordinary roads. The vehicles transfer from the primary track without a significant change in speed by disengaging or engaging the switching track. The switching track selectively drops or removes single vehicles from the pods according to the position of a track engaging support member associated with each vehicle.

Robust communications antenna

A robust low profile antenna well suited for deployment on the lids of cavities, such as manholes is described. The antenna is constructed from a coaxial cable for use proximate to a structural surface. The antenna is formed by folding back an outer metallic braid of an end of the coaxial cable to a length that approximately matches ¼ of a wavelength of a desired operating frequency times a velocity factor of the coaxial cable. Next, the radiative element is formed by exposing the center conductor from the end of the coaxial cable to a length that approximately matches ¼ of the wavelength of the operating frequency multiplied by the composite velocity factor being based on a dielectric encasing of the coaxial cable and the distance of the antenna from the structural surface. The antenna is oriented substantially parallel to the structural surface. The resulting antenna is of a comparable size to the coaxial cable.
