  • Patent number: 11936108
    Abstract: An RCS reduction surface for reducing a radar cross section of an object is described. The RCS reduction surface comprises at least one absorber portion, wherein the absorber portion is configured to absorb radar waves. The RCS reduction surface further comprises at least one reflecting portion, wherein the reflecting portion is configured to reflect radar waves. A first plane being associated with a top surface of the absorber portion and a second plane being associated with a top surface of the reflecting portion are spaced from each other by a predefined distance. The predefined distance is configured such that radar waves with a predefined wavelength range that are reflected at the absorber portion and at the surface of the reflecting portion interfere destructively with each other. Further, an RCS reduction member and a radar test system are described.

  • Publication number: 20040228122
    Abstract: A modular furniture system is provided having vertical members with internal conductors. The conductors are coupled to a source of low voltage electrical power such that adjacent vertical members are of differing electrical polarity. Support members for use in the modular furniture system are designed to make electrical contact with the internal conductors when engaged in a vertical member. An electrical device, such as a light fixture, may be coupled between a pair of brackets engaged in vertical members of opposite polarity, energizing the electrical device. Embodiments are provided for use in merchandising displays and office partition systems.

  • Patent number: 5695261
    Abstract: A modular furniture system is provided having vertical standards with internal conductors. The conductors are coupled to a source of low voltage electrical power such that adjacent vertical standards are of differing electrical polarity. Brackets for use in the modular furniture system are designed to make electrical contact with the internal conductors when a bracket is engaged in a vertical standard. An electrical device, such as a light fixture, is coupled between a pair of brackets engaged with adjacent vertical standards, thus, energizing the electrical device. Alternative embodiments are provided for use in merchandising displays and office partition systems.
