A deployable structure that may include a slit-tube longeron and a flat panel coupled with the slit-tube longeron. The slit-tube longeron may include a tubular member having a slit that runs along the longitudinal length of the slit-tube longeron. The deployable structure may be configured to couple with a satellite. And the deployable structure may be configured to transform between a stowed state and a deployed state where the tubular member is substantially straight when the deployable structure is in the deployed state, and the tubular member is wrapped around the satellite when the deployable structure is in the stowed state.

Methods, systems, and devices are described for fluid-dynamic structures operable to be reconfigured during use. Embodiments of the fluid-dynamic structures include a number of reconfigurable members separated by non-reconfigurable members. The reconfigurable members may be manufactured from temperature-sensitive polymeric foam, which become compliant at certain temperatures. The structure may also include an actuator assembly, operable to apply a reconfiguration force along a reconfiguration path, to reconfigure the structure between two or more volumetric shapes. Some embodiments also include a temperature regulation assembly for regulating the temperature of the reconfigurable members, and a structural attachment assembly for attaching the structure to a structure.

A Vacuum Insulating Glazing Unit (VIGU) comprises two or more glass lites (panes) spaced apart from one another and hermetically bonded to an edge seal assembly therebetween. The resulting cavity between the lites is evacuated to create at least one insulating vacuum cavity within which are disposed a plurality of stand-off members to maintain separation between the lites. The edge seal assembly is preferably compliant in the longitudinal (i.e., edgewise) direction to allow longitudinal relative motion between the two lites (e.g., from thermal expansion). The longitudinal compliance may be obtained by imprinting a three-dimensional pattern into the edge seal material. The edge seal assembly is preferably bonded to the lites with a first bond portion that is hermetic and a second bond portion that is load-resistant. Methods for producing VIGUs and/or compliant edge seal assemblies and VIGU and edge seal apparatus are disclosed.

An apparatus includes a first planar region having a first surface configured to contact a heat sink. The apparatus also includes at least one second planar region having a second surface configured to contact a surface of at least one heat generating component, the at least one second planar region being parallel to the first planar region and disposed in at least one plane that is offset from the first planar region. The apparatus further includes a plurality of flexure regions disposed at an angle or curved relative to the first planar region and the at least one second planar region. The plurality of flexure regions connect the at least one second planar region to the first planar region. The first planar region and the at least one second planar region are formed of at least a thermally conductive material and a stiffening material and the plurality of flexure regions are formed of at least the stiffening material.
