Abstract: The present invention refers generally to a new family of antenna arrays that are able to operate simultaneously at two different frequency bands, while featuring dual-polarization at both bands. The design is suitable for applications where the two bands are centered at two frequencies f 1 and f 2 such that the ratio between the larger frequency (f 2 ) to the smaller frequency (f 1 ) is f 2 /f 1 <1.5. The dual-band dual-polarization feature is achieved mainly by means of the physical position of the antenna elements within the array. Also, some particular antenna elements are newly disclosed to enhance the antenna performance.

Abstract: A method for masking mono-crystalline or poly-crystalline silicon surfaces against a wide variety of anisotropic wet etchants for the purpose of forming silicon micromachined structures is disclosed. The method consists of exposing one or more silicon surfaces to a fluorocarbon-based plasma. A composite material is formed onto the plasma-exposed silicon surfaces that protects said silicon surfaces during silicon etching in ethylenediamine-pyrocatechol-water (EPW) solutions. When said composite material is properly annealed prior to etching, a protective film highly resistant to potassium hydroxide (KOH), tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) and EPW solutions is formed. Because the formation of said composite material occurs only onto silicon surfaces exposed to the plasma ion flux, the method allows selective masking of silicon surfaces of an already three-dimensionally structured silicon wafer without the need of photolithographic process. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A reflector network is used within a content delivery network to enable requesting end users to subscribe to live streams that have been published to CDN entry points. A reflector is a generalized packet router program. The reflector network preferably comprises a hierarchy of reflectors that are located at the various entry points into the CDN, at each edge node at which requesting users may be directed by the CDN to obtain live streams, and at various "reflector" nodes located within at least one intermediate layer (in the hierarchy) between the entry points and the edge nodes. The edge nodes and each reflector node also include a manager program that arranges for feeds. When an end user is directed to an edge node that is not yet receiving the desired stream, the edge node's manager issues a subscription request to a set of reflector nodes. If the reflector node(s) are already receiving the desired stream, their reflector(s) begin sending it to the requesting edge node. If, however, the reflector node(s) are not already receiving the desired stream, their manager programs issue the subscription request to the entry point(s) to start the feed.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to methods for generating plants having altered phenotypes, and to plants so generated and parts of these plants. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for modifying a plant so as to produce a plant exhibiting an altered phenotype. Particularly useful altered phenotypes contemplated by the present invention include plants having altered tissue architecture. The present invention further contemplates genetic sequences capable of facilitating the modification of a phenotype of a plant and to sequences complementary thereto and to derivatives of the sequences. Plants and parts of plants, such as flowering and reproductive parts including seeds, also form part of the present invention. The ability to modify the phenotype of a plant may be useful for, inter alia, producing plants with more highly desired characteristics, such as delayed flowering, increased lateral branching, delayed senescence and the like.

Abstract: A system and method for safely heating cancerous and pre-cancerous conditions of the prostate, as well as benign and pre-benign lesions (any localized pathological change in the prostate tissue) by irradiation of the prostate tissue with coherent phased array or non-coherent energy is introduced. The initial energy power delivered to the energy applicators is set to a desired value that is known to produce a desired increase in temperature in the prostate. Temperature feedback sensors are used to measure urethral and rectal wall temperatures during treatment to adjust the energy power delivered to the applicators to avoid overheating the urethral and rectal walls. The energy delivered to the applicators is monitored in real time during treatment, and the treatment is completed when a desired total energy dose has been administered. The system according to the invention can heat and destroy the prostate carcinoma and benign cells sufficiently in order to prevent prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for the generation of respirational air. The device according to the invention makes it possible to dehumidify air optimally. The dehumidification problem is achieved with a tapering passage, in particular with a nozzle. The nozzle is contained in a tube in which the mixture of air and water flows. A pressure which is higher on one side and which leads to a local increase in the flow rate in the nozzle and to a lower temperature prevails in the nozzle. These circumstances result in the water further condensing out of the air in the nozzle. The water which is condensed out is entrained by the air stream and can be separated off in a water separator connected directly after the nozzle, even before the gas or the air (after the nozzle) can become saturated again.
