Abstract: An planar ultra wide bandwidth (UWB) antenna that provides integration of electronics is disclosed. The antenna has a first balance element that is connected to a terminal at one end. A second balance element is connected to another terminal at one end. The second balance element has a shape that mirrors the shape of the first balance element such that there is a symmetry plane where any point on the symmetry plane is equidistant to all mirror points on the first and second balance elements. Each of the balance elements is made of a generally conductive material. A triangular shaped ground element is situated between the first balance element and the second balance element with an axis of symmetry on the symmetry plane, and oriented such that the base of the triangle is towards the terminals. Accordingly, the ground element and each of the balance elements form two tapered gaps which widen and converge at the apex of the ground element as the taper extends outwardly from the terminals. Under this arrangement, sensitive UWB electronics can be housed within the perimeter of the ground element, thereby eliminating transmission line losses and dispersion, and minimizing and system ringing. A resistive loop connected between the first and second balance elements extends the low frequency response and improves the VSWR. A connection of an array of elements is disclosed that provides a low-frequency cutoff defined by the array size rather than the element size.

IPC: A61M15/00
Filed: 2001-09-19
Abstract: An arrangement is disclosed for, in connection to an inhalation operation, opening and closing and air inlet of a dry powder inhaler device (DPI) provided with a dose member (4). The arrangement requires a minimum pressure differential between a surrounding atmosphere and the airways of the inhaling person in order to open the inlet for outside air to enter into the DPI. The arrangement controlling the air inlet presents a biased flap connected to biased catch mechanism. The biased flap (16) closes the air inlet (23) of the DPI to the atmosphere by the force exerted by a compression spring (13), which acts oh the flap through a mechanism of levers. In order to open the flap a force FP bigger than the closing force FC of the spring and lever mechanism must be applied. The necessary force results from a pressure differential resulting when sucking the mouthpiece of the DPI. The catch is through the mechanism of levers released by the flap (16) when the flap opens, and triggers a sequence of events constituting the irreversible process of administering a dose to the user of the inhaler. The mechanism of levers uses rounded shapes (14) where moving parts are in contact with each other to minimize contact areas and rubbing effects to thereby achieve near zero friction losses. The flap is further by a counterweight (15) statically balanced, which almost completely eliminates the risk of external forces, e.g., gravitation or blows of the DPI to accidentally trigger the process of administering a dose.
