Data compressor processor concept envisions a simplified system for telemetry communications. It is simultaneously a zero-order processor and a floating aperture, a variable aperture, and a binary integer aperture with a decoded buffet fullness counter.
Broad X ray source produces a highly collimated beam of low energy X rays - a beam with 2 to 5 arc minutes of divergence at energies between 1 and 6 keV in less than 5 feet. The X ray beam is generated by electron bombardment of a target from a large area electron gun.
Computer program calculates the steady state fluid distribution, temperature rise, and pressure drop of a coolant, the material temperature distribution of a heat generating solid, and the heat flux distributions at the fluid-solid interfaces. It performs the necessary iterations automatically within the computer, in one machine run.
Computer program /MCAP/ calculates the temperature distribution in a heat generating solid complicated by nonuniform power and flow distributions between multiple channels. It determines the channel diameters coefficients, the effects of tolerences, the pressure drop at a given flowrate, or the flowrate for a specific pressure drop.

Keplerian integrals analogy to integrals of adjoint equations suggested by optimum space navigation trajectories considerations
Absorption line multiple scattering in thick planetary atmosphere, using successive scattering method for single-scattering phase function based on line profile and equivalent width
Circuit extends concept of redundant feedback control from type-0 to type-1 control systems. Inactive channels are slaves to the active channel, if latter fails, it is rejected and slave channel is activated. High reliability and elimination of single-component catastrophic failure are important in closed-loop control systems.
