System and method for correcting GNSS NLOS error using ray-tracing. A processor is in communication with a receiver configured to receive a signal from at least one signal source. A ray-tracing module of the processor performs ray-tracing on a plurality of simulated testing rays that pass through a low-resolution pixel shader image. Then, results of the first ray-tracing process are clustered based on reflection surfaces combination encountered and mirror-based ray-tracing is performed on the clustered results. A best result of the mirror-based ray-tracing process (i.e., a result having the highest signal power) is selected, corresponding to a most likely path between said receiver and the signal source, and is useful for correcting errors in signals received by the signal.

Systems and methods for determining a user's absolute acceleration/deceleration on an Earth based reference frame. Signals from multiple satellites are received and the Doppler rate for each satellite is extracted using baseband signal processing. Then, using each satellite's ephemeris, the acceleration/deceleration and Earth frame position of each satellite is determined.

System and method for geo-positioning using a plurality of chained reference stations. A user station receives station-generated correction information—that is, SSR corrections that generated by a single station and unique to that reference station—and positioning information from the specific reference station. A user-positioning module of the user station processes the received positioning information, as well as the reference station's station-specific corrections, to determine the user station's location. In some embodiments, the user station receives positioning and unique correction information from multiple reference stations. The user-positioning module then fuses the received information to determine the user station's location. Additional reference stations can be added to the reference station network by propagation. The reference station's position is known to a predetermined degree of precision.

Methods of forming dispersible ferroelectric nanoparticles, including polyether-ylated barium titanate nanoparticles. Uses of the dispersible ferroelectric nanoparticles, including as a ferroelectric tracer material, optionally for detecting a presence and/or measuring a distribution of an oil or a hydrocarbon in a subsurface formation and/or flowback fluid. Compositions and methods involving an oil or hydrocarbon recovery fluid and the dispersible ferroelectric nanoparticles for detecting a presence, measuring a distribution, or both of an oil or a hydrocarbon in a subsurface formation and/or flowback fluid.
Provided are polymer-coated nanoparticles, a composite nano-emulsion, and a macro-emulsion. In the polymer-coated nanoparticles, a polymer is self-assembled into a cage structure to coat nanoparticles, wherein the nanoparticles are made of an iron-containing metal oxide. The polymer-coated nano-particle shell provided in the present invention can be used as a stabilizer to prepare a composite nano-emulsion, and a stable macro-emulsion can be further prepared at an extremely low concentration. The problems of a high concentration of a surfactant and solid particles and the residence of solid particles at the oil-water interface often being required during the synthesis of a macro-emulsion and the surface tension being reduced so as to stabilize large oil droplets are thus overcome. The development of a simple and cost-reduced method for the synthesis of an emulsion in the present invention is of great significance.

A method is provided for producing a fiber-reinforced composite in a fused filament fabrication (FFF) process for additive manufacturing, including: depositing, using a deposition tool, a composite raster by extruding the fiber-reinforced composite onto a deposition surface; running a consolidation tool having a heated or heat-inducing non-rolling tip over the deposited composite raster, to apply a shear force to reduce fiber waviness; and applying, using the consolidation tool, heat and a compressive force concurrent with the application of the shear force to pressurize the composite raster and reduce void content. The process reduces porosity while at the same time, increasing fiber straightness in composite material deposited via FFF, increasing reinforcement-matrix adhesion, and matrix cohesion. A separate, independently controlled tool runs over previously deposited material using an interior point-out technique. The method reduces void contents of high fiber volume composites to a level suitable for the production of structural composite parts for aerospace applications, without requiring post-consolidation operations.
