Abstract: A hypervelocity impact detection method and system for determining the precise impact location in a detection surface, of impacts such as ballistic missile intercepts, micrometeoroids and orbital debris (MMOD) or other shock events, utilizes a gridless detection surface capable of propagating radio frequency (RF) impact detection signals responsive to receiving hypervelocity impacts from objects, and multiple sensors on the detection surface that directly measure radio frequency RF emissions generated by the hypervelocity impacts on the surface, and a time of arrival (TOA) position measurement technique for determining the precise impact location in the detection surface.

Abstract: A method and system for detecting hypervelocity impacts on a detection surface utilizes multiple sensors that directly measure electrical pulse radio frequency (RF) emissions generated by hypervelocity impacts on a detection surface and time of arrival (TOA) position measurements for determining the precise impact location on the detection surface. The detection surface material is compressed differentially in such a way that the inherent equalization of the compressed electron density in one area of the impact is directed to the uncompressed area of the material causing an electrical current that flows until the redistribution of the electrical charge has been completed and the rapid redistribution of charge and inherent current that results emits the radio frequency pulse that is induced into the detection surface.

Abstract: A passive SAW strain sensor for remotely sensing strain within a surface has a receiving SAW correlator with a signal input interdigitated transducer and a plurality of adjacent successive spaced interdigitated output transducers on a piezoelectric substrate, and a transmitting SAW correlator having a plurality of adjacent successive spaced interdigitated output transducers and a signal output interdigitated transducer on a piezoelectric substrate. The transmitting SAW correlator is affixed to or embedded in the surface such that its substrate will be stressed when the surface is strained and the receiving SAW correlator is not affixed to or embedded in the surface. The output transducers of the receiving SAW correlator and the transmitting SAW correlator are spatially placed to define a unique frequency of sensitivity, and their outputs are coupled together. A complex RF waveform signal applied to the receiving SAW correlator is transformed into an acoustic wave having a distinct output pulse that supplies power to the output transducers of the transmitting SAW correlator which is transformed into a complex RF output waveform. The application of stress on the transmitting SAW correlator shifts its center frequency proportionally and changes the frequency of the complex RF output waveform, and measurement of the center frequency change yields an indication of the applied stress.

Abstract: A medication management system which includes three components to assist a patient control, monitor and manage administration of prescribed medications. The system comprises a patient component having a retrievable patient database of patient medical history, prior prescribed medications and current prescribed medications, and it includes a data transfer interface, e.g., a hardwired interface, such as an RS232 interface or infrared data transfer port. The system also includes a physician component having a retrievable physician's database of medication information and an input/output device enabling a prescribing physician to enter prescription information into the physician component. The physician's database is capable of receiving and storing patient data transferred from the patient component through said data transfer interface. The system finally also includes a pharmacist component resident on a pharmacist's computer. The pharmacist's computer is adapted to interface with said patient component to transfer prescription data to said pharmacist component. At least one of or each of the physician component and the pharmacist component has the capability of searching a medication database to determine potential medication interactions with currently prescribed medications and identify those to the physician or pharmacist for selective downloading to the patient component so that the patient can be alerted to the potential interactions. The patient component has a scheduler which tracks a plurality of medication dose schedules and includes alarm functions to prompt a patient to take particular medications, reschedule them, and alert the patient to potential interactions between medications and/or provide caution information to the patient for administration of the medication.
