A Wide-Band, Active Antenna System for Long Wavelength Radio Astronomy
ABSTRACT We describe an \"active\" antenna system for HF/VHF (long wavelength) radio astronomy that has been successfully deployed 256-fold as the first station (LWA1) of the planned Long Wavelength Array. The antenna system, consisting of crossed dipoles, an active balun/preamp, a support structure, and a ground screen has been shown to successfully operate over at least the band from 20 MHz (15 m wavelength) to 80 MHz (3.75 m wavelength) with a noise figure that is at least 6 dB better than the Galactic background emission-noise temperature over that band. Thus, we met the goal to design and construct a compact, inexpensive, rugged, and easily assembled antenna system that can be deployed many-fold to form numerous large individual \"stations\" for the purpose of building a large, long wavelength synthesis array telescope for radio astronomical and ionospheric observations.

EVALUATING EQUIPMENT PERFORMANCE
A process control program highlights the current operational inefficiencies of a machine, or its \"trouble areas.\" By reviewing its current operational cost, means of controlling that cost emerge. Managers can implement a better standard of practice and better process control procedures to reduce operational cost while improving productivity.

Legislative Change on the Horizon: Proposed Changes to Patent Eligible Subject Matter and Functional Claiming
[...]the language of the statute has remained the same since it was first enacted in 1952.2 However, over the years courts have moved the line demarcating patentable and unpatentable concepts, especially in the technology and software fields.3 Most recently, in Alice Corp. Pty. v. CLS Bank Int'l, the U.S. Supreme Court applied a two-part framework to analyze patent eligibility for software claims, instructing courts to first ask if the claims are directed to an abstract idea.4 If the claims are directed to an abstract idea, courts must then decide whether the claims contain an inventive concept or something more that would make the claims patent eligible.5 Since its inception, the two-step patent-eligibility framework from Alice has come under scrutiny because of difficulty in uniformly applying the standard, as well as its alleged bar on important innovations. [...]various witnesses testified that under the current patent-eligibility standards, the amount of money spent by innovators on litigation against \"patent trolls\" or \"non-practicing entities\" has significantly decreased, and these savings have been used to fund additional innovation. [...]companies with significant patent exposure may consider entering comments in the record to have their voice heard on the matter. [...]because there could be a surge of patent applications filed once the legislation takes effect, companies may wish to file sooner rather than later to beat a potential influx of applications and to maintain the advantage under the first-to-file system.
