Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method is provided. The method comprises: receiving thermal energy at a heat resistant container; converting all or a portion of the received thermal energy into electric energy; converting the electric energy into electromagnetic energy; and radiating the electromagnetic energy.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A heat resistant container, comprising: protected content; a transmitter system; a first heat absorber surrounding the protected content; a thermoelectric generation system surrounding the first heat absorber and electrically coupled to the transmitter system; and an impact resistant enclosure, part or all of which is permeable to electromagnetic spectrum in which the transmitter system transmits, where the impact resistant enclosure surrounds the thermoelectric generation system. 2. The heat resistant container of claim 1 , further comprising a second heat absorber surrounding the protected content, and which is surrounded by the first heat absorber. 3. The heat resistant container of claim 2 , wherein the second heat absorber comprises phase change material. 4. The heat resistant container of claim 1 , wherein the first heat absorber comprises a metallic microlattice. 5. The heat resistant container of claim 1 , wherein the transmitter system is configured to transmit electromagnetic energy in the ultra low frequency through millimeter wave frequency spectrum. 6. The heat resistant container of claim 1 , further comprising a thermal insulator surrounding the thermoelectric generation system. 7. The heat resistant container of claim 6 , wherein the thermal insulator comprises ceramic. 8. The heat resistant container of claim 6 , wherein the thermoelectric generation system surrounds the first heat absorber. 9. The heat resistant container of claim 1 , wherein the thermoelectric generation system is a Peltier cooling system. 10. The heat resistant container of claim 1 , further comprising a power system coupled between the thermoelectric generation system and the transmitter system. 11. The heat resistant container of claim 1 , wherein the protected content is a crash survivable memory system.
