The method includes: retrieving position measurements for the ownship vehicle and for a dynamic obstacle; retrieving mapping data from an airport map database that includes coordinate data for airport travel pathways; adjusting a position measurement for the ownship vehicle and a position measurement for the dynamic obstacle based on coordinate data retrieved from the airport map database and historical aircraft movement data; predicting a series of future positions for the ownship vehicle that are constrained by airport surface operation rules; predicting a series of future positions for the dynamic obstacle that are constrained by airport surface operation rules; calculating whether a potential collision is imminent; and causing a collision alert to be displayed when the processor has determined that a potential collision between the ownship vehicle and the dynamic obstacle is imminent.
Approaches for correlating tasks across different monitored processes are described. In an example, for a first task and a second task implemented within an organization, a correlation parameter is obtained. The correlation parameter is to link the first task to the second task and is to indicate that initiation of the first task is to be caused upon completion of the second task. Thereafter, a first status information and second status information of the first task and second task, respectively, is determined. The correlation parameter, the first status information and the second status information may be processed to determine a correlated status of the first task with respect to the second task. Based on the correlated status, a visual indicator depicting a logical association of a pendency of the first task with a pendency of the second task, may be generated.

FERRULE WITH WIDEBAND SPECTRUM SOURCE CHANNEL FOR ALIGNMENT ERROR MITIGATION AND SYSTEM DYNAMICS EVALUATION
Systems and methods are described herein for providing a ferrule with a wideband spectrum source channel for alignment error mitigation and system dynamics evaluation. In certain embodiments, a system includes a ferrule. The ferrule includes a first set of optical emitters, each of which emits a received optical signal from a ferrule surface. The ferrule also includes a second set of optical emitters, each of which emits a reference optical signal from the ferrule surface. Additionally, the ferrule includes at least one wideband optical emitter, which emits at least one wideband optical signal from the ferrule surface. Moreover, a processor uses the at least one wideband optical signal to account for variations in at least one of spatial position and angular alignment of the ferrule surface when identifying interference patterns that result from the reflected optical signal and the reference optical signal passing through an interferometer.
A housing for coupling to a loop gap resonator (LGR) includes an interior cavity in which the LGR is disposed therein. The LGR is attached to the housing by at least one mounting bracket, which fixes the LGR in the interior cavity. Additionally, the interior cavity includes a separation region between the cavity walls and the LGR. The widths of each mounting bracket and the width of the separation region is determined in order to support a uniform electromagnetic field inside the LGR.

Abstract
A planar vessel mixing system is disclosed. The mixing system may include a mixing vessel, which may be a filter reactor, with a mixing region for receiving mixing substances, which may be liquid or solid. The vessel may include at least one magnetic stir bar to mix the substances. At least one brushless magnetic drive may be disposed externally around the mixing vessel and may be configured to generate a rotating magnetic field to rotate the magnetic stir bar, thereby mixing the mixing substances. The brushless magnetic drive may be adjustable along a length of the mixing vessel. A filter may be disposed at the bottom of the mixing vessel to filter out byproducts from the mixing. Use of the brushless magnetic drive may enable small-scale mixing (e.g., less than 100 mL) by removing the need for an overhead stirrer.

Abstract
An artillery configured to propel a projectile, the artillery comprising a firing mechanism, a barrel, and a helical electromagnetic recoil mechanism. The firing mechanism fires the projectile in a first direction toward a target. The barrel has an open-ended bore that guides the projectile in the first direction. The helical electromagnetic counter recoil mechanism includes an electrical energy source, a stator, and a helical electromagnetic armature. The electrical energy source provides electrical energy when the firing mechanism fires the projectile. The stator and armature generate an electromagnetic force via the electrical energy. The helical electromagnetic armature moves in a second direction opposite the first direction via the electromagnetic force when the firing mechanism fires the projectile in the first direction to minimize recoil of the artillery.
A bi-stable valve includes a valve body that has a valve inlet, a first valve outlet, and a second valve outlet. The valve body defines a preferential wall that is convex in shape that draws a flow passing through the valve inlet primarily towards the first valve outlet at a low back pressure at the first valve outlet. The valve body defines a second wall that is convex in shaped to draw the flow passing through the valve inlet more towards the second valve outlet as the back pressure at the first valve outlet increases.
