Walker, R., "Encrypted Product Sequence Numbers", Project Report, October 15, 2012. Putting a sequential number in a product can leak build volumes to competitors. This report presents a scheme using the skipjack32 encryption system to create a random permutation of sequence numbers based on a secret 80 bit key. The code allows a sequential factory build number to be converted into a random product ID for public perusal, and then later converted back to the original sequence number by product support.
[Wal13b]
Walker, R., "Reflection and Transmission Coefficient", Project Report, April 22, 2016, Searching for "reflection coefficient" yields immediate results. However, the transmission coefficient is rarely mentioned. In any practical problem involving scattering of waves in non-uniform structures, it is important to be able to calculate both the forward and reverse waves at each scattering site. Although many engineers take the reflection coefficient as a given, it is instructive to note that the expression is uniquely determined by just two principles. These are 1) voltage continuity at the scattering boundary, and 2) conservation of power between the incident wave and the two scattered waves.
[Wal16]
Walker, R., "Mutual Inductance of Collinear Solenoids", Project Report, July 29, 2016, "Efficient and accurate approximations to solenoidal inductance exist. By breaking a given solenoid into two pieces, it is possible to compute the mutual coupling between two adjacent solenoids. Breaking a solenoid into three segments, it is possible to bootstrap the process to calculate the coupling between all three segments. From this it possible to create an accurate model for either an arbitrarily tapped inductor, or two collinear solenoids separated by an arbitrary gap."
