Phased array metamaterial antenna system
ActiveUS6958729B1Reduce sidelobeIncrease amplitude performanceSimultaneous aerial operationsRadiating elements structural formsSolid substratePhased array
An efficient, low-loss, low sidelobe, high dynamic range phased-array radar antenna system is disclosed that uses metamaterials, which are manmade composite materials having a negative index of refraction, to create a biconcave lens architecture (instead of the aforementioned biconvex lens) for focusing the microwaves transmitted by the antenna. Accordingly, the sidelobes of the antenna are reduced. Attenuation across microstrip transmission lines may be reduced by using low loss transmission lines that are suspended above a ground plane a predetermined distance in a way such they are not in contact with a solid substrate. By suspending the microstrip transmission lines in this manner, dielectric signal loss is reduced significantly, thus resulting in a less-attenuated signal at its destination.

Multifocal imaging systems and method
InactiveUS20070057211A1Fast imagingEfficient collectionMaterial analysis by optical meansColor television detailsLow noiseGrating
In the systems and methods of the present invention a multifocal multiphoton imaging system has a signal to noise ratio (SNR) that is reduced by over an order of magnitude at imaging depth equal to twice the mean free path scattering length of the specimen. An MMM system based on an area detector such as a multianode photomultiplier tube (MAPMT) that is optimized for high-speed tissue imaging. The specimen is raster-scanned with an array of excitation light beams. The emission photons from the array of excitation foci are collected simultaneously by a MAPMT and the signals from each anode are detected using high sensitivity, low noise single photon counting circuits. An image is formed by the temporal encoding of the integrated signal with a raster scanning pattern. A deconvolution procedure taking account of the spatial distribution and the raster temporal encoding of collected photons can be used to improve decay coefficient. We demonstrate MAPMT-based MMM can provide significantly better contrast than CCD-based existing systems.

ActiveUS20140244937A1Efficient storageEfficient recallMemory adressing/allocation/relocationDigital computer detailsCloud storage systemClient-side
A high tier storage area stores a stub file and a lower tier cloud storage area stores the file corresponding to the stub file. When a client apparatus requests segments of the file from the high tier storage area, reference is made to the stub file to determine a predicted non-sequential pattern of requests to the segments by the client apparatus. The high tier storage area follows the predicted non-sequential pattern of requests to retrieve the segments of the file from the cloud prior to the client apparatus actually requesting the segments. As such, the file may be efficiently provided to the client apparatus while also efficiently storing the file on the lower tier cloud storage area.

Dual action locking pliers
A locking pliers tool with an improved dual action driver handle comprising two intersecting handles and interacting jaws. When the user grips the handle forward the resultant force produces a locking action. Conversely, when a rearward gripping force is initiated, the tool releases its grip on the object. A limited amount of energy on the inventive handle produces free movement of the handle and gripping mechanism to lock or release. The system operates with a handle and stationary jaw in conjunction with a second pivotally secured jaw and internal adjustment bolt. A second lever handle rests against the adjustment bolt. An over center toggle link connects the second lever handle to the pivotally secured second jaw. A tension spring interconnects the first handle and the pivotally secured second jaw.

A magnetic coupling device for communicating continuous rotational or linear motion through a magnetic coupling of magnetic forces communicated from magnets operatively positioned on an oscillation assembly and a rotation assembly in positions sufficiently proximate to form the magnetic coupling. Employed to communicate an output force in a rotational direction from an input linear force communicated from a powered oscillation assembly, the magnetic force of the magnet communicating the force compresses the volume of ellipsoidal-like magnetic fields of the coupling alternately in unlike polar domains, to induce a smooth, blended polar continuity and communicate a continuous 360 degree rotational force to a rotation assembly operatively engaged with the magnetic coupling. The input force may be reversed to induce a continuous linear motion of a reciprocating assembly.
