Abstract: An antenna array architecture is provided for beamforming applications. The antenna array architecture facilitates a compact and wideband dual-polarized beam-switching antenna array architecture, which may be implemented in a cost-effective multi-layer PCB or package. The antenna array architecture is implemented as part of a package substrate having a number of layers. Each of the layers comprises various conductive elements such as conductive segments and/or traces that are disposed thereon in accordance with the respective antenna components.

Abstract: A shear resistant bolt carrier and gas key are provided having a mating recoil lug and recoil lug slot that transfer shear forces between the gas key and bolt carrier to reduce and eliminate shear forces on the screw attachment points and eliminate a point of failure in the bolt carrier group (“BGC”).

Abstract: A media sheet drive has a continuous belt of a dielectric material for transporting sheet media supported on the belt in a transport direction. A launch mechanism is used to launch a sheet medium onto a top surface of the belt. A charging circuit including a charging head is used to charge a top surface of the sheet medium and the belt as the sheet medium is launched. Charging acts to generate an electrostatic tacking force to tack the sheet medium to the belt. To prevent high electric field near the belt top surface which might otherwise affect the printing process, a neutralizing circuit is positioned downstream of the charging circuit to reduce electric field near the top of the belt by balancing charge at the top and bottom of the belt while keeping the sheet medium tacked to the belt.

Abstract: An enhanced ground stake provides a ground stake for restraining a dog or other animal that improves ability to relocate and find an unattended stake in wooded or grassy areas after returning from a walk or hunt, alerts others to the location of an unattended stake in the ground and potential tripping hazard, and provides an indication of whether a dog is still attached to the stake.

Abstract: A food formulation having a reduced level of fat and/or oil is provided. The food formulation is a mixture of a foodstuff and a fragmented, amylopectin starch hydrolysate as a replacement for at least a substantial portion of the fat and/or oil of said food formulation. The fragmented starch hydrolysate is capable of forming an aqueous dispersion at about 20% hydrolysate solids exhibiting a yield stress of from about 100 to about 1,500 pascals. Also provided is a method of formulating a food containing a fat and/or oil ingredient comprising replacing at least a portion of said fat and/or oil ingredient with the fragmented, amylopectin starch hydrolysate. Examples of food formulations include those for margarine, salad dressings (pourable and spoonable), frostings, and frozen novelties.

Abstract: Preformed, homogeneous, non-linear starch copolymerizate articles may be prepared by copolymerizing a preformed, homogeneous mixture of water, ethylenically unsaturated starch and ethylenically unsaturated monomers to provide a labyrinth of copolymerized starch chains interconnected with each other by the copolymerized monomeric units. The invention is particularly suitable for preparing high-binder, aqueous coating compositions which may be applied to a variety of substrates and subsequently copolymerized with polymerization initiating systems. Improved water- and detergent-resistance may be obtained by incorporating film-forming additives, cross-linking reagents or polyunsaturated compounds into the copolymerizable starch composition.
