An On-Vessel Signal Discrimination Layer For Bandwidth-Constrained Maritime Decision Support, Dev Mohanty

Defensive Publications Series

The DeepBlue protocol sentry is an on-vessel signal-discrimination independent layer that filters high-frequency NMEA telemetry streams into compact, information-dense feature vectors. Unlike AIS broadcasts, rather than transmitting all raw sensor data (which is bandwidth-expensive and mostly redundant), it:

1. Normalizes raw NMEA sentences across GPS, propulsion, environmental sensors
2. Derives features (fuel consumption, course/speed changes, propulsion efficiency drift, loitering detection) over rolling 1-5 min windows
3. Scores materiality — only flags features that deviate from the vessel's own baseline
4. Assembles vectors of tens-to-hundreds bytes for transmission over satellite/mesh uplinks

The key insight: filter redundancy at source before transmission, not downstream. It's a …

Automated Multi-Stream Audiovisual Synchronization Using Coordinated Markers, Avichal Rakesh

Defensive Publications Series

When an audio and/or video recording of a scene is captured using multiple recording devices, synchronizing frames captured by the different devices is a challenge. While movie clappers and timecode generators are used for this purpose, these are expensive solutions that are not always available, and in the case of timecode generators, require compatible recording devices. This disclosure describes techniques that use devices such as a smartphone, tablet, etc., that are commonly available to generate audio and/or visual markers using a speaker and display (or camera flash) of the devices. The markers are captured by the different recording devices and …

Ψ-Theory: Living Core. Ontological Development And Formalization. Comments 1–21, Valerii Y. Vorobiev

Defensive Publications Series

This document compiles comments 1–21, which chronologically develop and formalize Ψ-Theory — an ontological framework where time (Ψ-field) is the primary metric of reality, and gravity, mass, and quantum phenomena emerge from its dynamics. It addresses the crises of modern cosmology (dark matter, dark energy, Hubble tension) and quantum mechanics (measurement, non-locality) by replacing ad-hoc entities with a single causal principle. The comments include testable predictions (BH shadow shift, underground chronometry, Tully-Fisher derivation) and propose a phase diagram of reality from (4,2) to (0,-2).

The Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection Model: A Viscoelastic Unified Field Specification, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This technical disclosure formalizes the geometric synthesis of the Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection (DEHP) model. We present a particle-free, mathematically cohesive alternative to standard general relativity and non-baryonic dark matter. The framework replaces independent fundamental forces with a single fluid-dynamic mechanism: the topological metric embedding of a continuous, two-dimensional (2D) phase fluid substrate (z=0) operating in absolute harmonic resonance (the "Garden State").

Three-dimensional (3D) physical matter (z > 0) is modeled as a localized, high-tension wave crest ("knot") forced outward along a spatial z-axis by an original inflationary puncture flux (\(J_{z}\)). By defining antimatter as a zero-volume, 2D negative wave trough …

Energy Channel Coupling By Mid-Trophic Level Fish Challenges The Landscape Theory For Food Web Architecture In A Large Tropical Lake Ecosystem, Madison F. Muehl, Jill A. Olin, James L. Keyombe, Josephine Y. Aller, Robert M. Cerrato

Michigan Tech Publications

Landscape theory for food web architecture (LTFWA) posits that the stability of food webs is supported by the coupling of fast pelagic and slow littoral energy channels mediated by large mobile consumers. Empirical tests of the LTFWA are limited, and support for the LTFWA varies among and within aquatic ecosystems. While the LTFWA is thought to be supported in large lake ecosystems, empirical studies have focused on temperate environments with little emphasis on large tropical lake ecosystems. Lake Turkana, a climatically sensitive East African Great Lake, is a highly resilient desert lake and an ideal model for examining how consumer …
