20150129230 | Pneumatic System And Process For Fracturing Rock In Geological Formations - A tunable pneumatic fracturing system and process useable in some instances to extract oil and gas. Some embodiments provide a pneumatic fracturing tool with an elongated body that (a) contains (i) a propellant supply source intermediate opposed propellant gas discharge assemblies, (ii) a control system, and (iii) a communications port, and (b) has roller assemblies at opposed ends of the body. The tool can be tuned to provide gas pulse amplitudes and frequencies that react with the resonant frequency or other aspect of an adjacent earth formation. Some tool embodiments can variably sweep a rock formation and adjust the pressure pulse amplitude and frequency to disrupt the formation in a more productive manner. Some tools can penetrate vertical bore wells as well non-vertical bore wells. In some systems, the tool is transported and operated by a control truck and can be commanded to download operational data during or after use. | 05-14-2015 |

20150293067 | BEVERAGE DIAGNOSTIC AND PRESERVATION DEVICES AND METHODS - An apparatus for determining freshness of wine stored in a container includes a housing, a gas sensor, an optical sensor pair, and electrical circuitry. The gas sensor is affixed to the housing such that it extends into a headspace of the container above the wine. The optical sensor pair is positioned such that the optical sensor pair extends into the headspace above the wine. The electrical circuitry is contained in the housing and is electrically interfaced to the gas sensor and to the optical sensor pair. The electrical circuitry operates the gas sensor to generate a series of gas level measurements and operates the optical sensor pair to generate a series of optical transmission measurements. A quality parameter corresponding to the freshness of the wine is determined based on both the series of gas level measurements and the series of optical transmission measurements. | 10-15-2015 |

20110080897 | Communications resource management - A communications resource management system. The system includes a first module for prioritizing incoming messages and a second module for steering the messages in response to the prioritization by the first module. The first module assigns a message priority to each message based on a plurality of parameters such as mission mode, message type, and timeliness factor. The second module selects the most optimal communications resource for the message with the highest message priority by assigning a transmitter priority to each communications resource based on a plurality of factors such as estimated message arrival time, availability, and waveform compatibility. The message with the highest message priority is steered to the communications resource with the highest transmitter priority at the moment the message is sent. The first and second modules are each implemented using decision tree logic. | 04-07-2011 |

The common sensor adaptor may provide sensed data generated from at least the truth data. The common sensor framework may provide modeled sensed data generated from at least the truth data utilizing sensor models. The visualization scheme may generate visual data to be displayed from the sensed data and the modeled sensed data. The communications scheme may provide communication and testbed messaging infrastructure between the truth data scheme, the common sensor adaptor, the common sensor framework, and the visualization scheme. | 12-22-2011 |
20150305053 | SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR USING COMMUNICATION RESOURCES - Embodiments of a system and method for using radio frequency (RF) resources are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the system includes an antenna subsystem including antenna apertures. The system may also include devices configured to execute a plurality RF tasks. The system may further include memory to store a prioritized list of RF tasks. The system may still further include a manager to receive a request from an RF task to use an antenna aperture. The manager may insert the RF task into a prioritized list of RF tasks within a time duration specified in the request. The manager may spawn a thread to execute the RF task through the antenna aperture, within a time frame depending on the RF task's position in the prioritized list. | 10-22-2015 |
