  • Publication number: 20240195060
    Abstract: An electronically steerable antenna for L-band satellite communication, the antenna comprising: a patch antenna including: four antenna elements spaced apart in a patch plane to form a two-by-two grid with a spacing between each antenna element of less than a half wavelength, a ground plane, and one or more controllers configured to apply difference beam steering to the four antenna elements; and a crossed metallic fence electrically connected to the ground plane and extending through the patch plane between the four antenna elements to separate the four antenna elements into respective quadrants in the two-by-two grid.

  • Patent number: 10667575
    Abstract: We disclose herein a rotatable sole assembly for a shoe which comprises a first plate (305), a second plate (320); and a coating layer (330) between the first and second plates. The coating layer (330) is configured to rotate one of the first and second plates with respect to the other of the first and second plates. The sole assembly is designed to reduce ACL injuries as well as the incidence of other lower leg injuries related to high torque forces.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9745848
    Abstract: An example method for analyzing drilling fluid used in a drilling operation within a subterranean formation may comprise placing a TOF-MS in fluid communication with a drilling fluid. The drilling fluid may be flowing through a fluid conduit coupled to a drilling assembly. A chemical composition of the drilling fluid may be determined using the TOF-MS. And a formation characteristic may be determined using the determined chemical composition.
