  • Publication number: 20130038411
    Abstract: A stripline RF transmission cable has a flat inner conductor surrounded by a dielectric layer that is surrounded by an outer conductor. A jacket with an attachment feature surrounds the outer conductor. The attachment feature may be a fin aligned parallel or normal to the inner conductor. The attachment feature may be continuous or periodic along a longitudinal extent of the cable. The attachment feature may include male and female portions dimensioned to couple with one another, enabling adjacent cables to be attached to one another.

  • Publication number: 20120188678
    Abstract: A fine arrestor having a body with a bore there through, an inner conductor within the bore, an inner conductor capacitor within the bore coupled between a surge portion of the inner conductor and a protected portion of the inner conductor, and an inner conductor inductor within the bore coupled electrically in parallel with the inner conductor capacitor. A first shorting portion coupled between the surge portion of the inner conductor and the body and a second shorting portion coupled between the protected portion of the inner conductor and the body, for conducting a surge to ground. Also, other coaxial in-line assemblies may be formed incorporating the inner conductor cavity for isolation of enclosed electrical components.

  • Patent number: 7963279
    Abstract: An arrow rest that drops away or otherwise moves away from a discharging shaft of an arrow or another projectile. An arrow holder is operable between two support positions and a launch position. A support force is used to keep or maintain the arrow holder in the support position. A movement force can be transferred to the arrow holder for overcoming the support force and moving the arrow rest into a launch position, away from a discharging arrow shaft and the corresponding fletching.

  • Patent number: 7856968
    Abstract: An arrow rest that moves away from a shaft, such as an arrow shaft or a bolt shaft, when the shaft is discharged from a bow, such as an archery bow or a crossbow. An actuator moves between the load position and the discharge position. During movement of the actuator, one or more arms supporting and/or guiding the shaft move away from the shaft, such as to provide clearance for the shaft and/or any corresponding vanes, fletching and/or steering devices.
