Multiband planar antenna

A multiband planar antenna intended for small-sized radio devices and a radio device. The basic structure of the antenna is a two-resonance P1FA, the radiating plane (320) of which has a structural part (321) corresponding to the lowest operating band and a structural part (322) corresponding to the upper operating band. In addition, a loop resonator (323) operating as a radiator is formed in the radiating plane. The ground conductor (325) of the feed line of the loop is at the same time the short-circuit conductor of the PIFA. The second conductor (326) of the feed line is connected to the opposite end of the loop, and it operates as the feed conductor of the PIFA. At the same time the structural part (321) of the radiating plane that corresponds to the lowest operating band is located between the loop and the structural part of the PIFA that corresponds to the upper operating band, in order to reduce interference between them. The resonance frequency of the loop radiator is arranged on the upper operating band of the antenna, for example. Thus the loop improves the matching of the antenna on the upper operating band and the matching and efficiency on the lowest operating band as well. This is based on additional inductance caused by the loop conductor (323) that functions as a part of the feed conductor of the PIFA.

Method of hardening and polishing concrete floors, walls, and the like

A method of both hardening / densifying and polishing a concrete surface includes the steps of first applying to the concrete surface a silicate, siliconate, fluorosilicate, siloxane, silazane, silicon ester, and / or silane hardening / densifying compound, allowing the compound to remain in contact with the surface for a period of time sufficient to allow it to soak into the surface of the concrete, optionally allowing the surface to thoroughly dry, and polishing the surface with water or a diluted silicate, siliconate, fluorosilicate, siloxane, silazane, silicon ester, and / or silane polishing compound. The polishing step includes the steps of applying to the concrete surface water or the diluted polishing compound, mechanically polishing the concrete surface, cleaning the concrete surface, and repeating these steps with polishing pads or discs of increasingly finer grit until the surface obtains the desired level of shine.

Process to sequester carbon, mercury, and other chemicals

Biomass is devolatilized to produce both a combustible fuel (syngas) and activated carbon. The activated carbon is used as an adsorbent to capture a contaminant, such as mercury, and stored in a landfill, is impregnated with components with inherent fertilizer properties and tilled into arable land, is used along with coal in an electric power generation facility, or is used to remove mercury or other heavy metals from the flue gas of a coal fired power generation station prior to being stored so as to sequester both carbon and the heavy metal. Thus, both the carbon and the adsorbed mercury or other chemical are sequestered.
