Abstract: A moated pet feeder of the type which combines a food bowl and a water bowl; the food bowl being surrounded by a moat cavity which fills with water flowing through a substantially horizontal passage connecting the moat cavity with the water bowl to thereby form a moat which ants and other crawling insects will not cross to gain access to the food in the food bowl.
Abstract: A traveling wave device, or the like, having an internal metallic helical core element which has a plurality of particulate deposition deposited dielectric segments to form an unific slow wave structure having an improved balance between the heat conductive and electrical requirements of said slow wave structure; and methods for forming said balanced slow wave structure.
Abstract: A traveling wave device having a slow wave structure formed from at least one casting in which at least a portion of the internal passages are formed during the casting process to provide a more rigid structure having improved dimensional retention through the elimination of a multiplicity of brazed joints at and between adjacent cavity walls.
Abstract: A traveling wave device having a metallic helical core element which is ceramic coated on its peripheral surfaces to provide a heat transferring dielectric and which is in intimate peripheral contact within the body of said device, to thus provide a simplified and long-life structure having improved heat conductivity permitting greater RF output and size-weight reduction of said device; and methods for forming and coating the helices.
