Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging from an Inclined Geosynchronous Orbit

Abstract: Images of Earth can be produced with an assumed synthetic aperture radar (SAR) on a satellite platform undergoing a nutating relative motion from geosynchronous altitude. From a 50° inclined circular orbit, the contiguous United States can be imaged in about 3 h of segmented operation at 100-m resolution with 4-azimuth-look averaging. The 2450-MHz transmitter radiates 1312 W of average power from a steerable 15-m-diam antenna. The SAR can image daily an area bounded longitudinally and latitudinally.

Method and apparatus for correcting motion in image reconstruction

Abstract: One or more techniques are provided for adapting a reconstruction process to account for the motion of an imaged object or organ, such as the heart. In particular, projection data of the moving object or organ is acquired using a slowly rotating CT gantry. Motion data may be determined from the projection data or from images reconstructed from the projection data. The motion data may be used to reconstruct motion-corrected images from the projection data. The motion-corrected images may be associated to form motion-corrected volume renderings.

Process for making diamond and cubic boron nitride compacts

Abstract: The high pressure/high temperature (HP/HT) process for making diamond or CBN compacts has been modified by placing partitions within the crystal mass before HP/HT processing. With reference to FIG. 3, within the shield metal sleeve 11 and shield metal cup 14 are placed pliable metal shapes 20 in a honeycomb pattern. The abrasive crystals within the tubes 18 and outside the tubes 26 is sintered, and a compact containing the tubes embedded therein results. This compact can be acid leached to give a plurality of small compacts which need little if any additional shaping. The partitions can also be left intact as chip arresters.

Single phosphor for creating white light with high luminosity and high CRI in a UV led device

Abstract: There is provided a white light illumination system. The illumination system includes a radiation source which emits either ultra-violet (UV) or x-ray radiation. The illumination system also includes a luminescent material which absorbs the UV or x-ray radiation and emits the white light. The luminescent material has composition A2−2xNa1+xExD2V3O12. A may be calcium, barium, strontium, or combinations of these three elements. E may be europium, dysprosium, samarium, thulium, or erbium, or combinations thereof. D may be magnesium or zinc, or combinations thereof. The value of x ranges from 0.01 to 0.3, inclusive.
