Title: Surface-mount antenna and communication device with surface-mount antenna
Inventor: TSUBAKI NOBUHITO
IPC: H01Q5/00
Filed: 2000-09-28
Abstract: A surface-mount antenna (1) comprises first and second radiating electrodes (5, 6) formed on the upper surface (2c) of a dielectric base (2), and a matching circuit (7) formed on a side (2b). This structure facilitates providing the matching circuit (7) suitably adapted for the surface-mount antenna (1), thus providing desirable impedance matching for the surface-mou nt antenna (1). In addition, the influence of the matching circuit (7) on the first and second radiation electrodes (5, 6) on the upper surface (2c) can b e decreased since the matching circuit (7) is located on the side (2b) of the dielectric base (2). As a result, the gain and bandwidth of the surface-moun t antenna (1) increase.

Le support d'articles se présenter comme un boîtier à bagages, à ordinateur, etc., qui peut reposer directement ou indirectement sur au moins un axe qui, à son tour, repose sur les roues rotatives. Dans un autre mode de réalisation les coques des pneus sont remplies d'un caoutchouc naturel ou synthétique, ou de ses combinaisons, ayant des propriétés prédéterminées de souplesse et d'élasticité afin d'assurer l'absorption de chocs et l'utilisation silencieuse des roues sur des surfaces dures ou irrégulières. Dans un troisième mode de réalisation, les coques des pneus sont remplies d'un caoutchouc de mousse souple et compressible, de mousse de polyuréthanne ou de gel ou similaire, qui ont une dureté prédéterminée permettant l'absorption de chocs et le déplacement par roulement sur des surfaces dures continues ou irrégulières. Les coques des pneus sont de préférence moulées par rotation à partir de PVC mais elles peuvent aussi être moulées à partir de PVC combiné à d'autres composants à base de caoutchouc synthétique ou naturel. Les roues sont de préférence montées sur des unités de roulements à billes pour assurer un déplacement par roulement régulier. En variante, elles peuvent aussi être montées sur des moyeux et des axes centraux, sans que l'on utilise des unités de roulements. Les variations de l'épaisseur des parois des coques de pneus et de la pression d'air dans les pneus permettent de modifier les caractéristiques d'amortissement et d'absorption des chocs.

Title: Support arm assembly for a safe lid
Inventor: NOWICKY DAVID O
IPC: E05C17/20
Filed: 2003-11-24
Abstract: This support arm assembly for connection between a safe's lid and base has two main parts, a bracket for connection to the safe's base and a linear support arm that connects between the bracket and the lid. The bracket has a generally "L" shaped cross-section with a side face adapted for connection to the inside of the safe's base proximate its upper edge. The other face of the "L" shaped bracket serves as its upward facing side and is provided with a linear slot that is parallel to the side of the safe when the bracket is mounted. The linear support arm has a generally flat planar configuration that is adapted for placement through the linear slot in the bracket transverse to the upward facing side of the bracket. It is slidable in the slot parallel to the side face of the bracket and the side of the safe. The linear support arm has an upper end pivotally connected to the safe lid. The lower end or the linear support arm has a bend that prevents it from being withdrawn from the slot once it is put into place. It also- has an abrupt edged notch adjacent the bend in the lower edge of the linear support arm that is adapted to interlock with the slot by dropping into the slot when the box lid is opened.

IPC: G01S13/72
Filed: 2002-07-08
Abstract: A path in three-dimensions for an object in flight is determined according t o a radar signal reflected by the object. The radar signal is transmitted at a n offset angle from horizontal sufficient to capture the object within the transmitted radar signal. The transmitted radar signal is reflected by the object to form a reflected radar signal containing an indication of a positi on of the object. The reflected radar signal is recieved and used to determine two-dimensional position information for the object by detection of the indication of the position of the object in the received radar signal. Position information is derived in three-dimensions from the position information in two-dimensions. The path information representative of the pa th for the object is obtained from the position information in three-dimensions based on an optimization of a curvature of said path information.
