Abstract: An antenna arrangement comprising: a first antenna; a second antenna; a first transmitter path extending from a first end to a second end wherein the first antenna is arranged at the second end of the first transmitter path; a second transmitter path extending from a first end to a second end wherein the second antenna is arranged at the second end of the second transmitter path; a matching circuit comprising a first capacitor along the first transmitter path, a second capacitor arranged along the second transmitter path; a first receiver path coupled to the first transmitter path at a first tapping point; and a second receiver path coupled to the second transmitter path at a second tapping point; and wherein the antenna arrangement is absent an intermediate reference voltage node between the first antenna and the second antenna.

Abstract: Dual-antenna communication devices and methods are disclosed. The device comprises: a controller, having a first, output, interface, comprising a first connector and a second connector; a first antenna coupled between the first connector and a ground; and a second antenna, coupled between the first connector and the second connector; wherein the controller is configured to: transmit an output signal from the first antenna by providing a signal at the first connector and an in-phase copy of the signal at the second connector, and transmit the output signal from the second antenna by providing the signal at the first connector and an opposite-phase copy of the signal at the second connector.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device for assisting in the placement of a trapeziometacarpal prosthesis including a cup to be fixed in the trapezium of a patient and a stem to be fixed in the patient's first metacarpal. The device includes a first guide to be interposed between the trapezium and the first metacarpal, the first guide including a first body having a first surface to be positioned on the articular surface of the trapezium, the first surface congruent with the articular surface of the trapezium and a second surface to face the articular surface of the first metacarpal before resection, the second surface preferably being congruent with the articular surface of the first metacarpal so as to be positionable on the articular surface of the first metacarpal. The first guide also includes locating members carried by the first body and arranged to define resection lines for the first metacarpal.

Abstract: A method of matching a receive-only antenna (60) for use in receiving video signals in which measurements made on a transceiver's antenna (14) when in an transmitting mode are used in matching the receive-only antenna. The ratio of the amplitude of the reflected signal to the strength of the transmitted signal strength is used not only in selecting components for matching the transceiver's antenna (14) but also in selecting components for matching the receive-only antenna (60). The ratio may be applied to respective look-up tables (54, 64) for selecting the components to be used in matching the respective antennas.
