International Classification:

H04L 29/06
G06F 7/04
G06F 17/30
H04K 1/00

US Classification:

726 2, 726 1, 726 3, 726 4, 726 27, 713163, 380258

Abstract:

A geospatial decision management system (GDMS) can save the overall state of a user's experience at one point in time within a GDMS session so that the user can restore the overall state at a later time, such as by restoring a geospatial browser view (e. g. , camera settings for rending the map on the display screen, layer state information, map location) and restoring the states of one or more instances of geospatially-referenced tools that were active at the time of the state save. Upon restore, the browser and tools are initialized with their saved states so that the user is presented with the same functionality, data, and browser view that were displayed and accessible at the time of the state save. Saved states are transportable and can also be sequenced and animated to allow presentation of a slide show of individual GDMS views.

International Classification:

G06F 21/00

US Classification:

726 3

Abstract:

A number of geospatial attributes or parameters associated with GIS data are used to filter requests for geo-visualization of the data and to determine whether the request is subject to a restriction. Access to GIS data may be controlled for a variety of reasons including security concerns, proprietary concerns, or merely to generate revenue for a particular data source. In an open or public platform, contributors of GIS data accessible for geo-visualization may place limits or restrictions on the availability of or accessibility of the GIS data. The contributor may tag or otherwise encode an entire dataset or portions of the dataset with restriction instructions associated with one or more geospatial attributes. In a public platform, access to data is controlled based upon the geospatial attributes, for example, the geospatial location (coordinates) of a map tile request, scale of a map tile request, resolution of a map tile request, payment for access, the combination of layers requested, or freshness or staleness of data requested.

US Patent:

59388544, Aug 17, 1999

Filed:

Jun 2, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/458136

Inventors:

John Reece Roth - Knoxville TN

Assignee:

The University of Tennessee Research Corporation - Knoxville TN

International Classification:

C23F 100

US Classification:

134 1

Abstract:

The surface of a workpiece is cleaned by generating a steady-state one atmosphere glow discharge plasma above the surface of the workpiece. The use of one atmosphere, uniform glow discharge plasmas generated by a low frequency RF ion trapping mechanisms is preferred. The plasma used to effect surface cleaning may be formed in atmospheric air or other gases at about one atmosphere of pressure, or at pressures below or above one atmosphere.

International Classification:

D03D 300

US Classification:

428224

Abstract:

Polymer materials such as film and fabrics, woven, non-woven and meltblown, may be non-destructively surface treated to improve water wettability by exposure to a glow discharge plasma sustained at substantially atmospheric pressure in a modified gas atmosphere comprising helium or argon.

Assignee:

The University of Tennessee Research Corp. - Knoxville TN

International Classification:

H01J 724
H05B 3126

US Classification:

31511121

Abstract:

A steady-state, glow discharge plasma is generated within the volume between a pair of parallel, insulated metal plate electrodes spaced up to 5 cm apart and R. F. energized with an rms potential of 1 to 5 KV at 1 to 100 KHz. The electrodes are located within an enclosure capable of maintaining an atmosphere other than atmospheric air between the electrode surfaces. Space between the electrodes is occupied by a noble gas such as helium, neon, argon, etc. or mixtures thereof.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

John R. Roth - Knoxville TN

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air
Force - Washington DC

International Classification:

H01Q 1700

US Classification:

342 1

Abstract:

Microwave absorption in a varying magnetic field is investigated near electron cyclotron resonance with a network analyzer which is capable of swept frequency measurements, and of measuring reflection and transmission coefficients from 0. 045 to 18 GHz, with greater than 80 dB dynamic range. The experimental conditions are such that the plasma is generated in a modified Penning discharge in a magnetic mirror configuration. A microwave beam is caused to propagate along the axis of the magnetic mirror field in the plasma column. The microwave beam is attenuated near the electron cyclotron resonance frequency, providing microwave absorption over a range of frequencies spanning the electron cyclotron frequencies present in the axially varying magnetic field. The attenuation, along with hot-plasma effects, are measured as a function of frequency by the network analyzer.
