Abstract: The present invention provides an electric wave axis adjusting apparatus for an on-vehicle radar capable of readily and precisely adjusting an electric wave axis only by making the scanning range and a detection range identical to each other and changing a scanning range, and of adjusting the electric wave axis of an on-vehicle radar without wasting time in order to detect a reflector.

Abstract: A navigation system for a movable body is provided with: a current position detection device (2) for detecting a current position of a movable body; a map information presentation device (3) for presenting map information corresponding to the detected current position; a route condition information presentation device (4) for presenting route condition information indicating a current condition of a route on which the movable body is driving; and a driving route presentation device (6) for performing a presentation indicating that the movable body can overtake, in case that the movable body on the route can overtake on the basis of the presented map information and the presented route condition information.

Abstract: A three-piece solid golf ball having a solid core, an intermediate layer enclosing the solid core, and a cover layer enclosing the intermediate layer and having a large number of dimples formed in its surface, characterized in that the core deforms as much as 3.4 to 4.1 mm under a load which changes from 10 kg to 130 kg, the intermediate layer has a surface hardness of 64 to 69 in terms of Shore D hardness, the cover layer is formed mainly from thermoplastic polyurethane such that it has a lower hardness than the intermediate layer, with the difference in hardness between the cover layer and the intermediate layer being 10 to 16 in terms of Shore D hardness, the intermediate layer and the cover layer have a total thickness of 2.2 to 3.0 mm, the cover layer has a thickness of 0.8 to 1.3 mm, and the dimples have at least four different diameters and/or depths, with the average depth being 0.14 to 0.17 mm, and amount to 250 to 390 in all.

Abstract: The solution involves placing additional information in the AgentX error status field. In a preferred embodiment, the Agent X error status field is a 32-bit field. The lower 5 bits are reserved for the SNMP-defined error codes which are very general in nature and, therefore, communicate limited information. Additional error information or specific error codes are placed in the upper 27 bits. As a result, thousands of very specific error codes can be communicated by the AgentX packet to the human operator, thereby allowing the operator to know exactly what is wrong. In another preferred embodiment, the internally defined error code is a 16-bit number—the lower 5 bits are reserved for SNMP-defined error codes and the next 11 bits are used to store an internal portion of the additional error information. In another preferred embodiment, the error status field can be divided into 3 sections. The top 5 bits identify the group of error codes (groups are assigned to teams or to software modules).

Abstract: An antenna including a metallic reflector; a radiating element disposed on the reflector; a metallic power divider disposed on the reflector; a coaxial cable interconnecting the power divider to the radiating element; and a clamp for clamping the coaxial cable to the reflector or the power divider, wherein the clamp is unitary with the reflector or the power divider. There may be multiple clamps for clamping the cable to both the reflector and the power divider as necessary to secure the cable in place. Also, there may be a plurality of coaxial cables. The clamp includes a metallic plate having an opening for receiving the coaxial cable. The opening is preferably stamped in the metallic plate. The opening is preferably substantially U-shaped and the coaxial cable is frictionally retained in the opening by a press fit. More specifically, the clamp includes opposing leg portions and a base portion which define the opening.

Abstract: An angle diversity antenna system utilizes a first antenna, a second antenna, and a panel combiner coupled to the first and second antenna. In a transmit mode, the first and second antenna are coupled to a transmit sum channel of the panel combiner. In a receive mode, either the sum channel or a difference channel of the panel combiner is chosen as the active channel. By monitoring the sum channel and difference channel, the antenna system according to the present invention is able to select the channel which supplies the greatest signal strength.

Abstract: A polymer blend for use in a biomedical application comprising: (A) a polymer A, bearing zwitterionic pendant groups; and (B) a hydrophobic addition polymer B, selected from the group consisting silyl(alk)acrylates, alkyl(alk)acrylamides, dialkyl(alk)acrylamides, and alkyl(alk)acrylate polymers, wherein the structure of the blend exhibits phase separation forming a micro-phase segregated structure at a surface. Articles, methods of production and liquid blend compositions are also disclosed. Preferably A is a copolymer of 15 to 30 mole % 2-methacryloyloxyethy1-2-trimethylammonium ethyl phosphate inner salt and 85 to 70 mole % of a C6-18 alkyl methacrylate, and B is a homopolymer of a C4-18 alkyl(meth)acrylate, blended in weight proportions of 1:1 to 1:50.

Abstract: A compact detector for secondary and backscattered electrons in a scanning electron beam system includes a microchannel plate detector and a solid state detector connected in a tandem manner. The detector offers large bandwidth and high dynamic range. The detector can be used for article inspection, lithography, metrology, and other related applications. The compactness of the detector makes it ideally suited for utilization in a miniature electron beam column, such as a microcolumn.
