  • Patent number: 11177565
    Abstract: A multi-band generalized antenna architecture using two or more types of antenna element is presented. Linear arrays of a first type of antenna element are used for one or more frequencies while a second antenna element type is used for other frequencies. The second type of antenna element is located between the linear arrays of the first antenna element type. The second antenna element type may be arranged in a staggered configuration or they may be arranged as linear arrays as well. The first type of antenna element may be a patch antenna element while the second type of antenna element may be a dipole antenna element. The patch antenna element may be used for high band frequencies while the dipole antenna element may be used in low band frequencies. The spacing in vertical direction is not equal to minimize the effect of arrays on each other.

  • Publication number: 20080083476
    Abstract: A wood indexing or sorting device for use with an automated cutoff saw. The indexing rack has a number of chambers for sorting pieces of wood for later assembly into cabinet and door components. A swing out assembly of chamber walls is rotatable into position between fixed chamber walls, to divide the sorting chambers into more slots of smaller width. Pieces of wood from the cutoff saw are sorted in sorting chambers, with each sorting chamber corresponding to a part number of a work order.

  • Patent number: 6429900
    Abstract: A method of transmission of wide bandwidth chroma signals converts a component video signal having a luminance and two half-bandwidth chroma components into a 0:4:4 video signal having no luminance component and two wide bandwidth chroma components. Half of the wide bandwidth chroma component samples are inserted into a standard serial digital data stream in place of the luminance component, and the second half of the wide bandwidth chroma component samples are inserted into the standard serial digital data stream in place of the two half-bandwidth chroma components.
