Abstract: A method and a system for transforming between one or more point type sources and a line source in a transmission line structure. A transmission line path controller is inserted between a first parallel-plate waveguide section and a second parallel-plate waveguide section. The transmission line path controller comprises a curved side to which one end of each waveguide is coupled. The transmission line path controller further comprises a waveguide slot, one side of which is a part of the curved side, coupling the waveguide ends that are coupled to the transmission line path controller. The ends of the waveguides that are not coupled to the transmission line path controller forms the point type source and the line source, respectively.

Abstract: A droplet-jetting device, which is usable for an ink-jet recording apparatus, comprises a pressure chamber (16) disposed between a cavity plate (10) and a pressure-generating section (20) of a piezoelectric actuator. The pressure-generating section and the cavity plate are connected by a connecting section (16e). When a voltage is applied to the piezoelectric actuator, the pressure-generating section is elongated to depress the bottom of the pressure chamber downwardly so that the volume of the pressure chamber is increased. The droplet-jetting device is realized, in which the area of arrangement of the pressure-generating section is decreased to suppress the electrostatic capacity and the pull-eject can be performed by applying the voltage only when the device is driven. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods wherein communication link redundancy may be provided which is optimized to the primary links. Specifically, a redundant link portion of a communication system may be deployed to provide redundant links for a primary link portion of the communication system having substantially greater information communication capacity. However, through the use of isolation of portions of the primary link capacity, such as through the preferred embodiment sectors, sufficient redundant link capacity may be maintained economically. According to a preferred embodiment, a single redundant sector may be coextensive with a plurality of primary sectors and, thus, be relied upon for providing redundant links for any such primary sector. Preferred embodiments allow for the subsectoring of primary sectors while maintaining the configuration of a redundant sector corresponding thereto.
