Brief historical review and bibliography for Intentional Electromagnetic Interference (IEMI)

Abstract: In the late 1990s, concerns were raised that the advancement of solid state high power electromagnetic sources and more advanced antennas systems could allow terrorists, criminals and hackers to interfere with the operation of modern electronic systems. In particular there was great concern that the critical infrastructures (e.g. power, telecommunications, transportation, etc.) could be disrupted using new technologies. Scientists and engineers throughout the world began to evaluate potential threats and their ability to create upset and damage; this field of study was initially known as EM Terrorism, but was changed to the more encompassing term of Intentional Electromagnetic Interference (IEMI). This paper reviews the early history of this field and provides a bibliography of important papers covering the overall threat, the development of potential weapons, the susceptibility of equipment and systems, protection methods and standardization.

Method of forming a composite structure

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for forming composite structures and composite structures formed by these methods. The methods include arranging a stack of prepreg sheets on a mold. The composite material is substantially sealed within a vacuum bag. One or more vacuum ports extend through the vacuum bag. Vacuum is applied through the vacuum ports for drawing air from the stack of prepreg sheets. Air in the space between adjacent prepreg sheets in the stack is evacuated through at least one less-impregnated layer within a least one of the two adjacent prepreg sheets. The less impregnated layer communicates with the vaccum port. The process may be repeated until the stack comprises a predetermined number of prepreg sheets. The composite material is cured and the structure is released from the mold and the vacuum bag, thus providing a composite structure formed from evacuated, cured stack of prepreg sheets.

An optimisation approach for pre-runtime scheduling of tasks and communication in an integrated modular avionic system

Abstract: In modern integrated modular avionic systems, applications share hardware resources on a common avionic platform. Such an architecture necessitates strict requirements on the spatial and temporal p ...
