Abstract: A method and system referred to as PALM (Patterning by Adhesive of Large Relief Three- Dimensional Micro structures) with large reliefs exceeding 1 μm and being as large as 100 μm. The Micro structures can be either deterministic (such as micro prisms), or random (such as diffusers), the first obtained by copying an original super master, and latter obtained by copying a laser speckle pattern. The master process entails copying a super master into the form of the micro structure constituting a pattern on the patterning cylinder (called a drum), to be then continuously multiplied in the PALM system, in a continuous roll-to-roll web process. The latter method, together with the related system, is the subject of this invention. The rolls continuously repeat the master pattern, copying by adhesive with large viscosity on acrylic (hybrid) as well as by a monolithic process. The monolithic process can be accomplished using temperature and pressure, or by UV-cured polymerization. Therefore, the invention comprises three alternative processes: one, hybrid (adhesive on acrylic), and two monolithic ones. In the PALM (hybrid) process, an epoxy is wet-coated on film substrates such as polycarbonate (PC), polyester (PET), (PE), or other flexible material. The adhesive, in liquid form, is applied to the substrate by a self-metered coating sub-process. In the present invention, the adhesive is used for forming the micro structure pattern. The micro structure pattern is replicated from a master roll or image drum onto a coating roll.

Abstract translation: 被称为PALM（Patterning by Adhesive of Large Relief Three-Dimensional Micro structures）的方法和系统具有超过1μm的大浮雕并且大到100μm。 微结构既可以是确定性的（如微棱镜），也可以是随机的（如扩散器），第一种是复制原始超级主控制器，后者是通过复制激光散斑图案获得的。 主工艺需要将超级母版复制成构图滚筒（称为滚筒）上构成图案的微结构形式，然后在PALM系统中以连续的卷对卷网工艺连续倍增。 后一种方法连同相关系统是本发明的主题。 这些卷筒不断重复主图案，通过丙烯酸（混合）上的大粘度胶粘剂以及通过整体工艺复制。 整体工艺可以使用温度和压力，或通过UV固化聚合来完成。 因此，本发明包括三种替代工艺：一种是混合型（在丙烯酸上的粘合剂），另一种是单体型。 在PALM（混合）工艺中，环氧树脂被湿涂在薄膜基材上，例如聚碳酸酯（PC），聚酯（PET），（PE）或其他柔性材料。 液体形式的粘合剂通过自动计量涂覆子工艺施加到基底上。 在本发明中，粘合剂用于形成微结构图案。 微结构图案从主辊或图像鼓复制到涂布辊上。

Abstract: Two embodiments of a connector that can be mated without regard for its orientation are disclosed. One embodiment is mated and demated autonomously as part of a system for recovering, docking with, recharging and re-launching unmanned aerial vehicles. Another embodiment is employed on the decks of vessels to facilitate mating and demating of various equipment providing different functions to reconfigure the vessel. Because both embodiments are configured for connection irrespective of angular orientation over 360°, they are especially suited for harsh environments including autonomous operation, rough seas, darkness and the like.

Abstract: An optical impact system controls munitions termination through sensing proximity to a target and preventing effects of countermeasures on false munitions termination. Embodiments can be implemented on in a variety of munitions such as small and mid caliber that can be applicable in non-lethal weapons and in weapons of high lethality with airburst capability for example and in guided air-to-ground and cruise missiles. Embodiments can improve accuracy, reliability and lethality of munitions depending on its designation without modification in a weapon itself and make the weapon resistant to optical countermeasures.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a connector configured as a fastening element. Some embodiments are in the form of a wearable "smart" electrical connector and associated connector system in the form of a modular network, which for the first time integrates electronics into protective clothing in a body-conformable and comfortable fashion. It has these unique features: wearability compatible with existing and future military/civilian vests/uniforms; a button-like snap-fastener that can be snapped and unsnapped "blindly" with one hand; and resilience to harsh temperature/humidity, chemicals, water and laundering. Another embodiment is employed in a carton-centric system to indicate tampering with the carton during transit.

Abstract: A Lobster Eye X-ray Imaging System based on a unique Lobster Eye (LE) structure, X-ray generator, scintillator-based detector and cooled CCD (or Intensified CCD) for real-time, safe, staring Compton backscatter X-ray detection of objects hidden under ground, in containers, behind walls, bulkheads etc.. In contrast to existing scanning pencil beam systems, Lobster Eye X-Ray Imaging System's true focusing X-ray optics simultaneously acquire ballistic Compton backscattering photons (CBPs) from an entire scene irradiated by a wide-open cone beam from one or more X-ray generators. The Lobster Eye X-ray Imaging System collects (focuses) thousands of times more backscattered hard X- rays in the range from 40 to 120 keV (or wavelength λ = 0.31 to 0.1 A) than current backscatter imaging sensors (BISs), giving high sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and penetration through ground, metal walls etc.. The collection efficiency of Lobster Eye X-ray Imaging System is optimized to reduce emitted X-ray power and miniaturize the device. This device is especially advantageous for and satisfies requirements of X-ray-based inspection systems, namely, penetration of the X-rays through ground, metal and other material concealments; safely; and man-portability. The advanced technology disclosed herein is also applicable to medical diagnostics and military applications such as mine detection, securily screening and a like.
