Abstract: A planar antenna array for linearly polarized waves is proposed which offers a
technique of improving the radiation pattern of the antenna by compensating for
amplitude and phase imbalance due to coupling between adjacent lines in the feed
network. This imbalance causes the radiation patterns to be severely distorted. The
proposed configuration uses slots offset in certain parts of the array and then bonds the
slots to an aperture/waveguide layer and produces an antenna with good gain, good
match over a wide frequency band and good cross polar discrimination as well as
providing an improvement in the overall radiation pattern of the antenna.

Abstract: A method is provided for classifying objects within a measurement space. It is desirable that an observable property for an object should not vary widely for objects that belong to the same class or grade. This can lead to the creating of an excessive number of classes to describe all of the objects produced in a manufacturing process where process characteristics may vary over time. The present invention describes a classification scheme where classes, and hence class boundaries, can be moved in the measurement space to minimise the need to create new classes.

Abstract: A unique finger dovetail pin configuration is provided to attach the buckets
(12) of a control stage of a turbine to the rotor wheel (16). more particularly,
as an embodiment of the invention, a bore (24) is provided through the center
of the pin (14) to form a hollow pin. the primary benefit of providing a hollow
pin configuration is that a passage is defined for the axial flow of steam

desirable to minimize the leakage of steam from the space between the first
stage nozzle and bucket, and to provide a source of cooling flow to the
forward side of the turbine wheel. another benefit of the hollow pin is to
facilitate removal of the pins when servicing of the high pressure rotor is
required.

Abstract: A means for
attaching a thin terminal extension (62) to a glass sealed
terminal electrode (20) utilizing the least amount of space
and total height. The terminal extension is of
sufficient width to allow a hole sized to the diameter
of the pin and the pin is received in the opening in the
terminal extension. A series of spot welds are made
along the perimeter of the pin at the interface with the
terminal extension. If necessary, an insulator (60) is
placed between the terminal extension and the surface of
the battery case to prevent electrical shorting to the
case. Hence, the total height of the assembly is the
sum of the thickness of the insulator plus the terminal
extension. This design can apply to terminations made
externally to or internally in the electrochemical cell.

Abstract: In a fuel injection valve body for a direct injection type
internal combustion engine, an entire nozzle body tip portion (3a)
is formed in a conical shape protruding from a nozzle body outer
peripheral surface (3b) covered with a cap (24). Therefore,
neither a corner portion nor a recessed portion is formed on a
surface of the nozzle body tip portion (3a). This prevents heat
generated by combustion from concentrating at a corner portion or
a surface area or from enlarging by a recessed portion, which in turn
prevents heat generated by combustion from increasing the
temperature of the nozzle body tip portion (3a). Moreover, since
a foremost portion (3c) of a spherical shape is formed such that
it does not form a corner portion or a recessed portion in a
peripheral portion of a conical shape, heat generated by
combustion does not increase the temperature of the nozzle body
tip portion (3a). The temperature of a nozzle hole can therefore
be prevented from increasing and accumulation of deposits can be
restricted.
