Abstract: A body support assembly (1) capable of providing a fitting feeling to a user
according to the user's body shape by holding the shape thereof matching the
user's body shape. The body support assembly (1) comprises a supporting
member (4) including a plurality of granulated materials (2) coated with a
moisture-curable resin, and a stretchable cloth (3) covering the supporting
member (4). The body support assembly (1) is used such that the cloth (3) is
allowed to come in contact with the portion of the user's body so as to allow the
granulated materials (2) to move relative to one another, and thus the supporting
member (4) is deformed in a shape matching the portion of the user's body. Then,
the moisture-curable resin is cured. The relative movements of the granulated
materials (2) in the supporting member (4) are controlled by a frame (5)
embracing an outer peripheral edge of the supporting member (4).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système de formation de faisceaux. Ce système de formation de faisceaux (100) est conçu pour être utilisé dans une antenne réseau (112) constituée par une pluralité d'éléments d'antenne (1-7) et comprenant une transformée de Fourier rapide (FFT) (122) qui permet de transformer un signal reçu par une antenne en une pluralité de sous-bandes de fréquences. Par ailleurs, une pluralité de processeurs adaptatifs (800) intégrés permettent d'appliquer un traitement de réseau adaptatif à chaque sous-bande et de fournir ainsi une pluralité de sous-bandes traitées de façon adaptative. De plus, un processeur de normalisation (900) permet de normaliser les sous-bandes traitées de façon adaptative. Dans le mode de réalisation illustré, le signal est un signal GPS, un multiplicateur numérique (126) permettant en outre d'attribuer un poids à la sous-bande de fréquence respective pour chacun des éléments du réseau. Ces poids sont choisis pour orienter un faisceau dans la direction du signal recherché. Cette normalisation implique le réglage de l'amplitude d'une ou de plusieurs sous-bandes pour éliminer toute distorsion asymétrique due au traitement adaptative subi.

Patent EP-1454378-A1 (EP)
Inventor: PARK PYONG K
IPC: H01P1/06
Filed: 2002-11-18
Abstract: An orthogonal electrical coupling relies on electromagnetic coupling for the inner connection, as opposed to direct contact between conductors. A conductor on one of the lines is connected to a ground plane which is adjacent to a resonant slot. Microwave energy is coupled to the slot, thereby exciting the slot. A second conductor is on the opposite side of the ground plane from the first conductor. Microwave energy from the excited resonant slot passes to the second conductor, thereby allowing contactless interconnection between the first conductor and the second conductor. The coupling may emphasize certain modes of propagation relative to other possible modes of propagation. Specifically, the ground plane and slot may be enclosed in a cavity of a size such that the cavity does not support any natural mode propagation inside the cavity. Instead, the coupling may have a cavity in which a transverse electromagnetic (TEM) mode is propagated.
