    Abstract: An example μTOF is a flexible, small, sensor unit that uses modulated light to measure distance. The architecture of the sensor allows for many use cases. Use cases include the classic single emitter, single detector topology, but also include capability for operability as a full multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) system. In a MIMO configuration, the emitters and detectors can be arranged in a configuration similar to an RF antenna array or any number of other configurations from a single emitter/detector pair to vast dispersions of emitters and detectors. By coding the signal output by each emitter with a unique pseudo-noise (PN) or similar sequence, reflected signals received at the detector can be separated from each other, providing path distances between each emitter-detector pair. Given the robustness and noise immunity of PN sequences, this approach works well even with signal levels well below the noise floor. Using the measured path distances from each sensor to each emitter, the locations of objects in the scene can be extracted by triangulation.

    Abstract: A new kind of active protection system (APS) called SNAP (scalable networked active protection) will be a light and affordable means of protecting vehicles and infrastructure against rockets and missiles. The APS system is built from modules, each of which is itself a stand-alone APS. Since each unit is a stand-alone APS, the only single points of failure are the User Interface (UI) in the vehicle cab and the Data/Power Router (DPR). SNAP instead takes advantage of each module protecting a relatively small area to employ vastly lower cost components. In addition, each SNAP module is disposable in that when its countermunition is initiated, the entire module is consumed and subsequently replaced in the field. This approach allows the system to be very compact and lightweight.

    Abstract: An ergonomic cosmetic brush for efficient self-application of cosmetics and makeup. The ergonomic cosmetic brush generally includes a handle, a neck tapering inwardly and extending at a downward angle relative to the handle, and a head extending at an upward angle relative to the neck, wherein the head is offset heightwise with respect to the handle. A bundle of fibers perpendicularly extends from the head for applying the cosmetic product.

    Abstract: A cosmetic brush cleaning pad for efficiently maintaining the cleanliness of makeup brushes while controlling microbial growth in the fiber bundle. The cosmetic brush cleaning pad generally includes a base housing and an upper platform adapted to be removably secured over the base housing. A cleaning member which is generally flexible woven fabric may be removably wrapped around the upper platform prior to it being secured to the base housing. The base housing may include an optional lid which is hingedly secured thereto and includes an access opening for allowing access to the cleaning member when the lid is closed. By assembling the present invention and dragging a cosmetic brush thereacross, the cleaning brush may be cleaned of cosmetics for further use.
