Abstract: A transposed delay line oscillator including a mode selection filter and a transposed delay line is provided. An output of the transposed delay line is coupled to an input of the mode selection filter to establish an oscillator loop. Based on the transposed delay line output, the mode selection filter generates a mode selection signal including an isolated oscillatory mode, in a Radio Frequency (RF) band. The transposed delay line receives the mode selection signal for transposition to an intermediate frequency of an intermediate frequency (IF) delay line. The IF delay line includes a delay filter and a phase noise suppression loop configured to suppress de-correlated transposition phase noise resulting from a delay of the delay filter. Suppression of phase noise in the IF delay line enables cancellation of transposition phase noise when transposing the IF delay line output to the RF band.

Abstract: A ceiling fan or similar air-moving device can include a motor for rotating one or more blades to drive a volume of air about a space. The blade can include a body having an outer surface with a flat top surface and a flat bottom surface, and a side edge. A performance feature can be included in the body to improve efficiency. Due to manufacturing distortions, an offset can exist between the performance feature and other parts of the body. A transition portion can be formed at the offsets to remedy inefficiencies resultant of these distortions.

Particularly for injecting an electrical cable with a fluid when the electrical cable is affixed to a separable connector (e.g., elbow separable connector). Separable connector may be configured to connect sources of energy (e.g., transformer, circuit breaker) with distribution systems via electrical cable (or cable section).

Abstract: Ceiling fans typically include a motor including a rotor and a stator, blades, a downrod, and a mounting assembly for suspending the fan from a structure. The mounting assembly includes fasteners and brackets to secure the ceiling fan to the structure. The bracket receiving the downrod is fastened to a plate that is secured to the ceiling.

Abstract: A ceiling fan or similar air-moving device can include a motor for rotating one or more blades to drive a volume of air about a space.

Abstract: This invention relates to a headgear comprising a semi-rigid frame engageable with the head of a user and a releasable connection system for releasable connection with a user interface, wherein the frame extends generally about a rear region of a user's head, generally about an upper region of a user's head, and generally about an ear or both ears of a user.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a surgical method for deploying implants for repairing damaged tissue, such as meniscus tears. One exemplary surgical device for use in the method includes a cannula and a pusher moveable within the cannula to deploy a plurality of implants. Movement of the pusher in the distal direction deploys a distal-most implant and moves any additional implants distally within the cannula. Thus, multiple implants can be loaded into the cannula and deployed using one pusher. The disclosed arrangement is easy to use and has fewer component parts compared to prior devices, which in turn increases the ease of manufacture and reduces cost.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a connector or connector assembly for attaching a nasal cannula with a gas delivery hose includes a sensor port for a sensor probe positioned near an end of a nasal cannula, which can allow the sensor probe to be placed closer to the patient's nostrils than previous connector parts allowed. The connector can be configured to advantageously allow the nasal cannula to rotate relative to the gas delivery hose, thereby allowing a patient or healthcare provider to untangle or otherwise straighten the hose or the cannula. The connector assembly can be configured to automatically align locking protrusions on a first component with locking recesses on a second component, where insertion of the second component within the first component causes the second component to rotate relative to the first component, thereby aligning the locking protrusions with associated locking recesses.
