    Abstract: A Luneberg lens has a plurality of feeds arranged to send and receive signals to and from a plurality of satellites. The lens is spherical and is fixedly supported on a support mount. Also supported on this mount are a plurality of arcuate positioner tracks which form arcs parallel to the surface of the lens. Each of the feeds is mounted on a separate one of these tracks. The tracks are supported on the mount for separate pivotal motion along separate paths equidistant from the surface of the lens about a "y" axis relative to the lens. A motor is coupled to the drive of each of the tracks to pivotally drive its associated track in response to control signals. The feeds are mounted on the tracks for motion in paths about an "x" axis relative to the lens, such paths being equidistant from the surface of such lens. A motor drives each of the feeds in response to control signals along separate paths parallel to the lens surface. The feeds thus can be separately positioned about the lens surface along mutually orthogonal paths in response to control signals over a wide range. This facilitates continuous communication as the direction of a satellite from the site changes by utilizing two satellites simultaneously so that when one goes out of sight, the other can be used to continue communications.

    Abstract: A method and system for evolving electronic circuits based on defined rules. A first approach uses a network of nodes having established topological and behavioral relationships amongst themselves. An A/D converter is developed using this approach. A second approach employs software agents to create signal filters. The software agents are allowed to evolve in signal parameter space so as to match a reference signal, subject to established evolutionary rules and parameter space constraints. Narrowband and a low-pass filters can be formed using such agents.

    Abstract: An economy comprises a relation among agents, goods and services. Each good and service in the economy consists of combinations of more primitive goods and services. Goods and services can be complements or substitutes to other goods and services. Complements are sets of goods or services which are used jointly to produce a given other goods or services. In contrast, substitutes are sets of goods or services which might substitute for one another in a given production technology or consumption good. Complementary goods and services must be used together to create value in the economy. Most goods and services create value in the economy via positive functional interactions with their complements and via competition with their substitutes. The invention provides a system and method called Economic Web Sherpa which effectively and rapidly gathers data on the functional relations within an economy and which synthesizes an economic web model defining the local structure of the economic relations within the vicinity of a company or other economic agent. Economic Web Sherpa also analyzes the functional structure of the economic web model and generates new goods and services to identify new niches, new growth opportunities and new locations of strategic competition for a company of other economic agent.

    Abstract: The present invention presents a method for partitioning that provides both a relevant metric and a set of clusters through an evolutionary learning process. The present invention further presents a method for determining consumer demand (304) that finds the context dependent, or combinatorial optimized set of properties, uses, or customer features that optimize the value of a product to the customer base. The present invention further includes a framework for the marketing and introduction of novel products. The framework has means to model customers and derive an optimal set of goods (308) to produce alone or in the face of a coevolving competitive environment where other firms are introducing and modifying their own goods.
