Abstract: A bowtie antenna arrangement including at least one bowtie structure including bowtie arm sections made of an electrically conducting material with each an end portion facing an end portion of another bowtie arm section, a base portion including a conducting ground plane, the bowtie structure being connected to a feeding arrangement. The bowtie arm sections are planar, made of a conducting sheet or plate element and are arranged in a bowtie arm section plane located in parallel with, at a first distance from a first side of the base portion, the, or each, bowtie arm structure being connected to a feeding port on a second side of the base portion.

Abstract: An application and system fast launch may provide a virtual memory address area (VMA) container to manage the restore of a context of a process, i.e., process context, saved in response to a checkpoint to enhance performance and to provide a resource efficient fast launch. More particularly, the fast launch may provide a way to manage, limit and/or delay the restore of a process context saved in response to a checkpoint, by generating a VMA container comprising VMA container pages, to restore physical memory pages following the checkpoint based on the most frequently used or predicted to be used. The application and system fast launch with the VMA container may avoid unnecessary input/output (I/O) bandwidth consumption, page faults and/or memory copy operations that may otherwise result from restoring the entire context of a VMA container without regard to frequency of use.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a circuit that includes processing circuits and a power mode control circuit. The processing circuits are configured to have at least a first power saving mode and a second power saving mode having different power saving efficiency under different scenarios. The processing circuits are configured to determine a power saving mode for the processing circuits based on a threshold that is a function of one or more operational parameters. Then, the power mode control circuit is configured to receive information from the processing circuits that is indicative of the power saving mode, and control the processing circuits to enter the determined power saving mode.

Abstract: A variable near-null compensator for measuring aspheric surfaces by subaperture stitching includes a pair of counter-rotating CGH phase plates, each of the phase plates having a phase function including two terms Z5 and Z7 of Zernike polynomials. The phase plates are mounted on a pair of precision rotary center-through tables, wherein rotational axes of the pair of precision rotary center-through tables coincide with the optical axes of the phase plates. A figure metrology apparatus includes a wavefront interferometer, the test mirror mount, the near-null compensator and the mechanical adjustment components therefor. The optical axis of the near-null compensator coincides with the optical axis of the interferometer. A method for measuring aspheric surfaces by subaperture stitching includes the steps of mounting the test mirror, measuring the subapertures with the figure metrology apparatus, and finally processing the data by stitching.
