  • Wide frequency band transition between via RF transmission lines and planar transmission lines
    Patent number: 5930665
    Abstract: A multi-layer circuit structure including a plurality of substrate layers. At least one planar transmission line, including microstrip, stripline, or coplanar line, disposed on the plurality of substrate layers. A via transmission line connected to that at least one planar transmission line and extending through the plurality of substrate layers. The via transmission lines having the same topology as the at least one planar transmission line for providing wide frequency band transition between the via transmission lines and the at least one planar transmission line.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 5, 1997
    Date of Patent: July 27, 1999
    Assignee: ITT Industries, Inc.

  • Suspension system for underwater equipment
    Patent number: 3992737
    Abstract: A system for suspending underwater equipment at a predetermined depth below the surface; the system providing storage means for the equipment prior to deployment, protection for the equipment during deployment and stabilization of the equipment at a predetermined depth below the water surface after deployment. A subsystem of virtual masses and a vertically oriented "window shade" drogue is deployed to provide stabilization of the equipment in both vertical and horizontal directions after deployment. Portions of the deployment package are subsequently utilized as part of the stabilization subsystem.
