Abstract: Various exemplary embodiments relate to an antenna feed configured to receive a signal having a wavelength. They antenna feed may include a cylindrical body and four pin groups. Each pin group may include two pins in close proximity extending across the center of the cylindrical body. One of the two pins may be rotated approximately 22.5° from the angle of the other pin. Each pin group may be spaced approximately one quarter of a wavelength away from each other, and may be rotated approximately 22.5° from the angle of the previous pin group.

Abstract: A system for analyzing multi-dimensional data maps the multi-dimensional data to visual attributes and aural attributes. It displays a subset of the multidimensional data set on a display unit. The system further displays an avatar on the display unit. The avatar can select a field of view of the displayed subset. The system receives input from a user, wherein the user input relates to an additional dimension subset of the multidimensional data set that is not currently displayed. Visual attributes and/or aural attributes relating to the additional dimension subset are generated as a function of the input from a user. The visual and/or aural attribute convey information relating to the additional dimension subset on the display unit.

In some embodiments, a method may be provided where the method provide steps for generating a three-dimensional area of interest based at least on substantially real-time data, generating an avatar immersed in the generated three-dimensional area of interest for each user of a plurality of users, animating each avatar immersed in the generated three-dimensional representation of area of interest based at least on gesture data received from one or more cameras associated to each user of the plurality of users, and manipulating objects represented in the three-dimensional representation of the area of interest.

Abstract: A coaxial cable connector interface for allowing signals to be transmitted over a coaxial transmission line between devices includes a coaxial cable and a cable connector that allows the coaxial cable to be attached to the devices. The coaxial cable includes a solid outer conductor that has corrugations to increase flexibility of the coaxial cable. The cable connector has a crimp portion that surrounds an end portion of the outer conductor of the coaxial cable. The crimp portion conforms to the corrugations of the outer conductor, thereby creating an interface with the corrugations that attaches the cable connector to the coaxial cable by maintaining an axial load between the cable connector and the coaxial cable. Additionally, the coaxial cable connector interface includes a sealing element and a protective boot for preventing moisture from bridging the interface and causing cable performance reduction.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for mixing and dispensing components. The methods and apparatus of the invention are particularly advantageous to manually mix the components of radiopaque bone cement and inject the resulting radiopaque bone cement into skeletal structures. The manually actuated apparatus of the invention comprises: (1) a sealed mixing chamber for mixing components; (2) a dispensing chamber isolated from the sealed mixing chamber; (3) a controllable portal to open a flow path between the sealed mixing chamber and the dispensing chamber so that the dispensing chamber can receive the mixed components after they are mixed; and (4) a drive mechanism associated with the dispensing chamber to force the mixed contents from the dispensing chamber.

Abstract: A tuned RF coaxial connector for mating a coaxial transmission line includes a cylindrical outer conductor, a coupling mechanism for mating the coaxial transmission line to the substantially cylindrical outer conductor, and an inner conductor extending coaxially within cylindrical outer conductor. One end of the cylindrical outer conductor interfits with the coaxial transmission line and another end of the cylindrical outer conductor interfits with an electrical device. The connector has an open circuit inner stub where the inner conductor of the transmission line couples to the inner conductor of the connector, or an open circuit outer stub where the outer conductor of the transmission line couples to the outer body of the connector, or both. Without the need for precise fitting of the conductors of the coaxial transmission line and the connector, the invention facilitates field installation of cables and connectors while reducing implementation cost.
