  • Patent number: 12244399
    Abstract: In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a satellite communication system includes a satellite constellation including a plurality of satellites in non-geosynchronous orbit (non-GEO), wherein at least some of the plurality of satellites travel in a first orbital path at a first inclination, and an end point terminal having an earth-based geographic location, the end point terminal having an antenna system defining a field of regard for communicating with the satellite constellation, wherein the field of regard is a limited field of regard, wherein the field of regard is tilted from a non-tilted position to a tilted position, and wherein the tilt angle of the tilted position is a function of the latitude of the geographic location.

  • Patent number: 11197761
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system (10) for the intraosseous injection of surgical cement comprising an external sleeve (11); a cannula (13) mounted coaxially in the external sleeve, said cannula being able to be moved along a longitudinal axis (A) in the external sleeve, the cannula being provided with a tapered distal point (15); and a stent (18) accommodated in the interior of the external sleeve, said stent being mounted around a distal end (16) of the cannula. The invention also relates to a kit comprising a system of this type for the injection of surgical cement, surgical cement injection means capable of being connected to the proximal end of the internal cannula, and possibly surgical cement.
