    Abstract: A method of operating a multi-coil magnetic resonance imaging system is disclosed which includes a controller performing a simulation using a predefined tissue model, determining output values of a variable of interest (VOI) associated with operation of two or more coils of an MRI system based on the simulation, comparing the simulated output values of the VOI to an a priori target values of the VOI, if the simulated output values of the VOI are outside of a predetermined envelope about the a priori target values of the VOI, then performing an optimization, wherein the optimization includes iteratively adjusting the circuit values until the simulated output values of the VOI are within the predetermined envelope about the a priori target values of the VOI thereby establishing VOI optimized values, and loading the established VOI optimized values and operating the magnetic resonance imaging system on the tissue to be imaged.

    Abstract: A system and methods for heating and cooling are provided. The system may include an energy collector and an adaptive panel connected to the energy collector. The adaptive panel may a radiative cooling layer configured to dissipate heat from the energy collector. The radiative cooling layer may further include a thermo-responsive polymer configured to adjust transparency depending on temperature. The system may include a solar heating layer configured to absorb solar irradiation that passes through the radiative cooling layer and transfer heat to the energy collector.

    Abstract: The throttleable solid propellant system includes a substantially solid propellant, a shape-altering structure, and an actuation source. The shape-altering structure is at least partially disposed within the substantially solid propellant. The actuation source is to be coupled to the shape-altering structure. The actuation source is to be configured to actuate the shape-altering structure between a first position and a second position. Transitioning the shape-altering structure between the first position and the second position may crack and/or deform the substantially solid propellant. Cracking and/or deforming the substantially solid propellant may increase the burning surface area of the propellant, thereby altering the thrust produced from the throttleable solid propellant system.

    Abstract: The electrochemical sensor system includes a capillary and a conductive wire at least partially disposed within the capillary. The wire is provided as a plurality of wires, such as a pair wires. The plurality of wires is disposed substantially parallel within the capillary. The wire extends from a first terminal end of the capillary to a second terminal end of the capillary. Where the wire is provided as a plurality of wires, the capillary includes a capillary wall separating the plurality of wires. The first terminal end of the capillary includes an electrode surface where the wire is disposed therethrough and is exposed, thus forming an electrode. The exposed wire is configured to form a liquid-air interface where a droplet is disposed on the exposed wire. The wire extending from the second terminal end of the capillary is coupled to a processor configured to perform the electrochemical analysis.
