Title: System and process for producing fresh water
Inventor: ROSENBAUM ITZHAK
IPC: C02F1/02
Filed: 2009-09-09
Abstract: A method relates to the combustion of Hydrogen and Oxygen under high pressure to produce fresh water. The pressurized hydrogen and oxygen are then combusted in a high pressure high temperature combustor to generate high pressure high temperature superheated steam. The heat from the superheated steam is then removed by a high temperature heat exchanger system to be used in industrial process or generate electricity. The high pressure high temperature superheated steam is condensed, as a result of the heat extraction by the heat exchanger system, to produce fresh water.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatuses for securing safing insulation in the gap formed between a spandrel and a slab. Additionally, the present invention eliminates the need for stiffening tees and/or stiffening brackets. In one exemplary embodiment, the present invention utilizes a first portion of safing secured to spandrel insulation positioned in an exterior wall structure and a second portion of safing insulation positioned adjacent to the first portion of safing insulation and between the spandrel insulation and the slab. By fixedly securing the first portion of safing insulation to the spandrel insulation, any deformation of the spandrel insulation caused by the forces exerted by the compressed second portion of safing insulation on spandrel insulation results in the first portion of safing insulation moving with the spandrel insulation.

Title: Broadband micropatch antenna system with reduced sensitivity to multipath reception
Inventor: TATARNIKOV DMITRY
IPC: H01Q1/38
Filed: 2009-04-24
Abstract: A micropatch antenna system with simultaneous high bandwidth and low sensitivity to multipath radiation is achieved by positioning a radiating element within a cavity in a ground plane.  Bandwidth and sensitivity to multipath radiation may be varied by varying the height of the radiating element above the bottom of the cavity and above the top of the ground plane.  The electromagnetic and physical characteristics of the antenna system may be further controlled by introducing dielectric solids or wave-slowing structures between the bottom of the cavity and the radiating element. A dual-band micropatch antenna system with simultaneous high bandwidth and low sensitivity to multipath radiation may be similarly configured by stacking a second radiating element on top of the first radiating element.
