Abstract

A packaging material comprised of a gas-impermeable base layer, an indicator layer, and a gas-impermeable top layer is disclosed. The top layer is selected to rupture upon experiencing an impingement or impact that exceeds a predetermined threshold. The indicator layer is configured to change visual appearance upon exposure to ambient air. The top layer further may be configured into a plurality of cells, with each cell filled with a gas that is inert with respect to the indicator layer. The cells may be of a size and shape configured to indicate the location and shape of an impingement or impact, to alert a recipient of an item protected by the packaging material of an area that may require further inspection.

Cold plate with combined inclined impingement and ribbed channels

Patent Parida, Pritish R.

Methods for making heat transfer devices include forming a jet plate with a plurality of inclined jets set at an angular deviation from normal. A bottom plate is formed with channel walls that have ribs. The jet plate is attached to the bottom plate to form ribbed channels. The angular deviation of each inclined jet establishes a jet direction perpendicular to a long dimension of the ribbed channels.

Technique for ship/wake detection

Patent Roskovensky, John K [Albuquerque, NM]

An automated ship detection technique includes accessing data associated with an image of a portion of Earth. The data includes reflectance values. A first portion of pixels within the image are masked with a cloud and land mask based on spectral flatness of the reflectance values associated with the pixels. A given pixel selected from the first portion of pixels is unmasked when a threshold number of localized pixels surrounding the given pixel are not masked by the cloud and land mask. A spatial variability image is generated based on spatial derivatives of the reflectance values of the pixels whichmore » « less
