20140371941 | SOFTWARE-DEFINED ENERGY COMMUNICATION NETWORKS - Systems and methods are described for software-defined approaches to energy communication networks (ECNs). For example, electrical substations typically host many Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) that monitor and/or control the state of the substations' electricity infrastructures. Critical data from the IEDs can be packaged and transmitted between multiple IEDs for proper system monitoring and control. Even modern networks that interconnect IEDs tend to manifest many limitations, ranging from setup complexity to security policies. Embodiments use novel software-defined networking techniques to address these and other limitations. In some embodiments, power system requirements (e.g., data and communications requirements of IEDs) are translated into a set of networking requirements (e.g., as central routing tables). One implementation uses a Ryu-based, software-defined network controller. Embodiments provide features, such as auto-configuration, security management, re-routing, and flexibility to handle rapid evolution of the smart grid. | 12-18-2014 |

20130075534 | METHOD FOR REMOVING ORBITAL OBJECTS FROM ORBIT USING A CAPTURE NET FOR MOMENTUM TRANSFER - In some embodiments of the invention, methods and devices are provided that perturb a trajectory of a space-orbital object. For example, a spacecraft may be sent to a location near a space-orbital object orbiting the Earth. A net may be released from the spacecraft in a manner (e.g., with a given alignment, direction and velocity) that results in the net contacting and/or entangling with the object. This contact or entanglement may alter a velocity of the space-orbital object and thereby may alter its orbital path. In some instances, the net's velocity is sufficient to experience increase drag by the Earth's atmosphere, relative to the drag it would have otherwise experienced if the net did not contact the object. | 03-28-2013 |

20160043464 | Ground Plane Meandering in Z Direction for Spiral Antenna - An antenna has a spiral driven element that meanders in a z direction, perpendicular to the x-y plane of the spiral, and a ground plane that also meanders in the z direction, such that spacing between the ground plane and the driven element is an odd multiple of one-quarter wavelength, along at least a portion of the length of the driven element. The spacing promotes constructive interference from signals reflected by the ground plane, increasing the front-to-back ratio of the antenna and, thereby, providing gain. The ground plane of a wideband version of the spiral antenna meanders, such that the spacing varies between about an odd multiple of one-quarter wavelength of an upper frequency to about an odd multiple of one-quarter wavelength of a lower frequency of a frequency range, thereby providing gain over a range of frequencies. | 02-11-2016 |
