Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods provides for technology that generates, with a phased array of elements of an antenna system, an array element radiation pattern over a scan angle range, where the phased array of elements is spaced at a predetermined wavelength spacing. The technology reflects, with a reflector of the antenna system, the array element radiation pattern emitted from the phased array of elements to Earth, and establishes, based on a shape of the reflector, a predetermined magnification as a function of scan angle range so as to increase the field-of-view of the antenna system. The technology adjusts, based on the shape of the reflector, the array element radiation pattern, by increasing magnification relative to the scan angle range, to have a gain that increases with increases in scan angle relative to a boresight of the antenna system, and reflects, with the reflector, radiation from Earth to the phased array of elements.

Abstract: An aural hematoma splint (AHS) system/method providing for animal ear pinna (AEP) suspension and/or compression allowing non-surgical treatment of AEP auricular hematoma is disclosed. The AHS promotes healing performance by including a conical primary plate (CPP) and angular secondary plate (ASP) that are used in conjunction with non-elastic fabric tape (NFT) to hold the AEP in suspension during treatment. The NFT includes a long strap collar (LSC) and cross support strips (CSS) for preparatory taping and application of the CPP/ASP to the AEP. This sandwich configuration of the CPP/ASP surrounding the AEP creates equilibrium in hematoma fluid pressures within the damaged area of the AEP, promotes a uniform thin layer of blood to clot in the entirety of the hematoma region, and allows regeneration of damaged tissues in a controlled environment while limiting structural and aesthetic damage to the healed AEP post treatment.
