  • Publication number: 20240023762
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of single use, disposable dispensers. The dispenser has a housing, with an interior space, a one cap, and a motion sensor. The dispenser further allows a user to have hands-free dispensing of the desired liquid, while still having an easily disposable single-use dispenser. The dispenser may include a one light source, a motor. The motor pulls the liquid through the straw and out of the continuous opening to the nozzle. The motor, light source, and the motion sensor may be powered by a battery.

  • Patent number: 10826199
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to an electromagnetic field vector sensing receive antenna array system for installation and deployment on a structure. A multipolarized array of collocated antenna elements is used to provide calibrated amplitude and phase radiation patterns with monopole, dipole, and loop modes generated from crossed loops connected to a beamformer. The invention has applications for installation and deployment on a tower, balloon, satellite for radio frequency sensing and location of low-frequency galactic emissions. The novel receive antenna array system comprises a multipolarized vector sensor antenna array. The disclosed direction-finding vector sensor can be installed and deployed on a structure and can detect and locate radio frequency emissions from galactic sources. The key system components of the receive antenna array system consist of deployable antennas, receivers, signal processing computer, and communications link.
