Miniature sub-resonant multi-band vhf-uhf antenna

A novel antenna system for receiving transmissions in the VHF and UHF frequency bands particularly suitable as a miniaturized antenna for UHF reception, such as of digital video broadcasting transmissions. The antenna system utilizes a combination of three techniques including (1) the use of dialect loading using a high dielectric constant ceramic substrate; (2) an antenna dielectrically loaded and tuned to a significantly higher frequency than desired; and (3) use of a tuning circuit to compensate for the frequency offset of the antenna thereby shifting the resonant frequency to cover the entire band. The antenna is intentionally designed to be too small to radiate at the frequency of interest. The antenna element is then ‘forced’ to be tuned to the desired lower frequency using passive (or active) reactive components as part of a tuning circuit. Multi-band operation is achieved by providing a bypass switch to connect the antenna element either to (1) a first receiver without the tuning circuit (i.e. high frequency tuning) or (2) a second receiver with the tuning circuit (i.e. low frequency tuning).

Rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on variation mode decomposition and permutation entropy

The invention relates to a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on variation mode decomposition and permutation entropy. Vibration signals are decomposed with a variation mode decomposition method, so that reactive components and mode aliasing are effectively reduced, all the mode components include characteristic information of different time scales of original signals, and effective multi-scale components are provided for subsequent signal characteristic extraction. With the combination of the features that permutation entropy is simple in calculation, high in noise resisting ability and the like, bearing fault characteristics of all the mode components are extracted from multi-scale angles. Compared with single permutation entropy analysis of rolling bearing vibration, the characteristic information of the signals can be more comprehensively represented through the permutation entropy characteristic extracting method based on multiple scales, the recognition accuracy of a support vector machine is improved, and fault diagnosis of rolling bearings is better achieved.

Energy activated electrographic printing process

InactiveUS6887640B2Improved “ hand ” and controlled glossEasy to processMechanical recordingRecord information storageCross-linkCohesive strength
A process for printing images by means of an electrographic or electrostatic device using a toner that is cured by multiple applications of energy. The toner has energy-activated reactive components such as radiation-curable sites and reactive functional groups. An image is formed on a substrate by the toner without materially activating the reactive components. The reactive components are subsequently activated by applying a first energy source to adhere the image to the substrate by cross-linking and bonding the image permanently to the substrate, or by transferring the image to a second substrate. A second energy source is applied simultaneously with, or subsequently to, the first energy source, to promote cohesive strength of the image by cross-linking within the toner particles that form the image. The resulting image is permanently bonded to the substrate, yielding substantially enhanced image durability and fastnesses.
