Abstract: A dual band, higher and lower frequency range transducer with a circular coaxial waveguide feed is described having a first junction for connection of a lower frequency range outer waveguide of the coaxial waveguide feed to at least two rectangular or ridge waveguides offset from the longitudinal axis of the transducer and a second junction for connection of the at least two rectangular or ridge waveguides to a further waveguide. A third junction is provided for connecting an inner waveguide of the coaxial waveguide feed to a higher frequency range waveguide. The transducer comprises at least first and second parts joined across a first plane substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and including at least a portion of the higher frequency range waveguide extending within the first plane of the join. A seal such as an "O" ring seal may be placed easily in the plane of the join thus preventing moisture ingress. Similarly, a feed horn and input and output ports may be sealingly attached to the first and second parts of the transducer. The first and second junctions are preferably impedance matched turnstile junctions.

Title: Uv curable compositions for producing electroluminescent coatings
Inventor: KROHN ROY C
IPC: C09D4/06
Filed: 2000-10-05
Granted: 2009-11-24
Abstract: The present invention discloses an ultraviolet light curable electroluminescent composition and method for making such a composition that may be used to produce an electroluminescent active layer. An active layer is a layer that when incorporated in a suitable device emits light when a voltage is applied. The disclosed composition does not contain any significant amount of volatile organic solvents that do not become incorporated in the active layer after curing. It is an advantage of the present invention that the deposition of the dielectric layer in such a device is optional when the disclosed electroluminescent composition is used to deposit the active layer.

Title: Article carrier having single sided releasable cross bar
Inventor: AFTANAS JEFFREY M
IPC: B60R9/045
Filed: 2002-06-19
Granted: 2010-08-17
Abstract: An article carrier for a motor vehicle having a- cross bar with a pair of end supports at each end, where each end support can be simultaneously locked or unlocked by lifting an actuating member of either end support. A principal advantage of the construction of the end supports is that the actuating member thereof can be urged between its locked and unlocked positions without protruding significantly from the end support; and therefore without requiring a significant degree of clearance between the end support and the outer body surface of the vehicle. Thus, the cross bar can be placed closer to the outer body surface of the vehicle while still allowing the actuating member of each end, support to be articulated between its locked and unlocked positions.

Abstract: A wet seal method and apparatus for use in biologically implantable containment devices, the devices adaptable for drug formulations or cell suspensions. A porous membrane, in a tubular configuration, is formed and can be configured as part of a closed cell-tight system for loading.      During loading, the containment device membrane is wet, while the loading system remains cell-tight. The containment device is sealed through a combination of heat and pressure, while the system remains cell-tight. Sealing the containment device substantially or completely eliminates metabolic functioning of any organisms in the vicinity of the closure. The seal is formed by melting a thermoplastic material that is in contact with the membrane. The containment device is separated from the cell-tight loading system, which remains closed after separation.

Title: Design of communications networks
Inventor: SHIPMAN ROBERT ANDREW
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 2001-09-14
Granted: 2007-09-25
Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for designing at least a part of a communications network beginning with an initial network design, a set of traffic handling requirements and an initial set of design rules. Each rule includes a condition portion and an action portion and at least one such rule includes a portion expressed in terms of at least one variable parameter. An iterative procedure is implemented to evolve both a network design and a set of design rules comprising variations to rules from the initial rule set. A  population of rule sets is generated with each rule set using a different combination of assigned parameter values. For each rule set in the population of rule sets, rules for which the condition portion is satisfied are applied to generate a modified network design. Measures of performance, including cost of each modified design are determined through simulation of the operation of the design on the basis of the traffic handling requirements and the performance and cost of different designs compared. A preferred design then forms the basis for further modified network designs and the particular rule set that generated the preferred design forms the basis of a new rule set population in the next iteration.

Abstract: A stationary area weapon effects simulator is mounted to the ceiling of a room in a building being assaulted by soldiers equipped with optical detectors and small arms weapons having small arms transmitters (SATs). Area effects weapon codes simulating the detonation of a grenade, bomb, artillery shell or chemical/biological weapon are encoded onto infrared signals emitted by a plurality of LEDs in the weapon effects simulator and these codes are logged in player units (DPCUs) carried by the soldiers. The simulated area weapon effects may be confined to particular angular zones and this zone information may also be encoded onto the infrared emissions. An alternate embodiment utilizes a stationary locator in a room which only remits infrared signals with location information encoded in the same which are logged by the player unit. Area weapon effects and location information may be downloaded from the player units, along with conventional casualty, near miss and time of occurrence data for assessment of tactics and weapons usage accuracy during after action review (AAR) by an instructor. A red rotating beacon may be added to the area weapon effects simulator to indicate the simulated detonation and/or to indicate that a structure such as a bridge has been blown up and ca no longer be used. The area weapon effects simulator can be activated by sending an RF command received through a pager, or by manual devices such as an electro-mechanical switch connected to a trip wire.
