Abstract: Example embodiments relate to 3D phased array-antenna systems and devices. A system may include a 3D structure with its center located at an origin of a reference coordinate system that includes an X-axis, a Y-axis, and a Z-axis extending from the origin of the reference coordinate system. The system may also include antenna arrays that have antenna elements configured to operate via electronic steering. The antenna arrays can be coupled to the 3D structure such that electronically steering antenna elements of the antenna arrays enables the antenna elements to transmit and receive electromagnetic signals simultaneously in numerous directions relative to the X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis of the reference coordinate system. The system may be used in various applications, including data transmission and reception, radar, and broadband signaling.

Abstract: In one aspect, methods of making a carbon coating are described herein. In some implementations, a method of making a carbon coating comprises applying a first adhesive material to a substrate surface to provide an adhesive surface; rolling a carbon source over the adhesive surface to provide a carbon layer on the adhesive surface; and rolling an adhesive roller over the carbon layer to remove some but not all of the carbon of the carbon layer to provide the carbon coating.

Abstract: A system that comprises a quantum key device configured to generate quantum information and transmit the quantum information over a first and second quantum communication channel. The system also comprises a first device, communicatively coupled to the quantum key device over the first quantum communication channel, and a second device, communicatively coupled to the quantum key device over the second quantum communication channel. The system further comprises an encryption module configured to encrypt data to create encrypted data, at the first device, using a first quantum encryption key. The system also comprises a decryption module configured to decrypt the encrypted data to create decrypted data, at the second device, using a second quantum encryption key. The first quantum encryption key is the same as the second quantum encryption key. The system further comprises a termination module configured to prevent access to the decrypted data after a predetermined period of time.

Abstract: A method may include generating one or more control signals configured to control a velocity of an image sensing system based on a rate of recording pixels frames in the image sensing system. In some embodiments, the method may alternatively or additionally include generating one or more control signals configured to control the rate of recording in the image sensing system based on the velocity of the image sensing system. In some embodiments, a portion of image pixel data for a pixel frame may be output for transmission to a remote receiver. In some embodiments, the output data may include a recently recorded image data pixel for those surface resolution cells for which there is no currently stored reference image data pixel of a previously recorded pixel frame that is the same or is different by less than a threshold amount as the recently recorded image data pixel.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for sending encrypted data across a node in a communications network. In one illustrative embodiment, an apparatus comprises a first communicator, a second communicator, and a number of nodes. The first communicator is configured to encrypt unencrypted data to form the encrypted data using a first quantum key distributor. The second communicator is configured to decrypt the encrypted data using a second quantum key distributor. The number of nodes is configured to receive the encrypted data sent from the first communicator and send the encrypted data to the second communicator using quantum teleportation. The encrypted data remains encrypted as the encrypted data passes through each of the number of nodes.

Abstract: A nanotube particle device for two dimensional and three dimensional printing or additive/subtractive manufacturing. The nanotube particle device comprising a nanotube, a particle shooter, a positioning mechanism, and a detection sensor. The particle shooter shoots a particle down the nanotube towards a target, the detection sensor senses the collision of the particle with the target, and the positioning mechanism re-adjusts the positioning of the nanotube based on the results of the collision. A method for aiming the particle shooter and additive/subtractive manufacturing are also disclosed and described.
