A device and method of use for the calibration of a detector. The calibration device includes a first source configured to produce first electromagnetic energy EMR. A first diffuser is connected to the first source and is configured to accept the first EMR and provide a first diffused portion of the first EMR. An integrating sphere defines an interior and is optically connected to the first diffuser, and is configured to accept the first diffused portion from the first diffuser into the interior. An exit port connected to the integrating sphere is configured to pass at least a portion of electromagnetic energy. A thermal mechanism is configured to adjust and maintain the temperature of at least the first source. The integrating sphere is configured to pass only a second portion of the first diffused portion of the first EMR from the first diffuser to the exit port. In another embodiment, the calibration device has an arm, an actuator, and a module. The module supports at least a first source that emits electromagnetic energy, a thermal mechanism, and a controller. The actuator is configured to move the arm and module to a calibration position enabling the first source to be within the line of sight of an external detector, while the controller is configured to control the thermal mechanism enabling precise temperature regulation of the source and therefore the regulation of the emitted electromagnetic energy. When the device is not in the calibration position, the actuator is configured to move the arm and module to a stowed position, protecting the device from ambient electromagnetic radiation and harm.

An antenna device comprises a dielectric substrate, an antenna including a radiation plate and a ground conductor plate, a connector, and cover member. A position of a feeding point on the radiation plate is different to a position of a centroid of the radiation plate in front view of the antenna, and the antenna and the cover member cover a periphery of the connector when the antenna, the connector, and the cover member are viewed along a direction orthogonal to a first straight line connecting the centroid to the feeding point and orthogonal to a thickness direction of the dielectric substrate.

The present invention provides methods for recovering metals, including rare earth metals, from mixed metals. An example is the recovery of metals from electronic waste. The method of separation is based on the inversion and/or lowering of the thermodynamic energy barrier by using one or more stressors applied at appropriate ratios to create lower energy points in the thermodynamic energy landscape of the mixed metals. Example stressors include a) a chemical stress, b) a mechanical stress, c) a thermal stress, d) and electromagnetic radiation and/or light stress, an interfacial stress, and/or a magnetic flux gradient stress.

A system suppresses extreme voltage surges induced on electric power lines due to transient electromagnetic energy disturbance from detonation of a nuclear weapon at high altitude generating an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) comprising E1, E2, and E3 pulses, geomagnetic disturbance, and intentional electromagnetic interference. Low voltage (LV) surge protection (SP) assemblies mounted at medium voltage (MV) inputs and LV outputs of the stacked converter cells of a solid-state transformer (SST) form SP of MV and LV electrical power grids interfaced by the SST. The SP assemblies utilize LV components to provide MV grid protection, shunting overcurrent to ground without interfering with the SST MV/LV grid segments isolation. The SP components are selected and coordinated to achieve predefined response at protection threshold voltage levels with current capacity mitigating complex components of HEMP. The hybrid SP communicates with SST control to react to a prolonged overvoltage/overcurrent fault condition.
