TL;DR: In this article, a new technique for measuring the dielectric constant and loss tangent of materials in the millimeter-wave range is described, which is based upon a simple geometrical optics approximation, in which a plane reflector is rotated so as to maximize the transmitted-reflected wave power through the material.
Abstract: A new technique for measuring the dielectric constant and loss tangent of materials in the millimeter-wave range is described. The measurement apparatus and the analysis is considerably simpler than that using conventional techniques. The new technique is based upon a simple geometrical optics approximation, in which a plane reflector is rotated so as to maximize the transmitted-reflected wave power through the material. Only one microwave horn is used in the measurement.

TL;DR: The Sea Wave Electric Power System (SWEPS) as discussed by the authors is a new method of combining sea wave power and air driven turbines to generate electrical energy, which is an abbreviation for sea wave electric power system.
Abstract: SWEPS is a new method of combining sea wave power and air driven turbines to generate electrical energy. The acronym SWEPS is an abbreviation for Sea Wave Electric Power System. This Arrangement involves a means of using sea wave power to compress air to high pressure and using that air to drive a high speed air operated turbogenerator. The idea, primarily conceived to furnish power for Sea Relay and Weather Towers, might be modified for use to generate power for commercial consumption by mounting the apparatus on a floating pier or buoy supported platform.
