Abstract: A fast switching, variably polarized lens is placed in front of a radar antenna which radiates an electromagnetic wave having any fixed polarization. The radiated electromagnetic wave is coupled to the lens and the switching elements within the lens transform the polarization of the radiated electromagnetic wave as commanded. Each transmit pulse may take on any polarization which the lens is capable of providing independent of the polarization of the previous transmit pulse. Similarly, during receive mode the lens can be set up to allow the radar system to receive a return signal of any polarization independent of the polarization of the return signal's associated transmit signal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a 3-dimensional cell to tissue and maintenance process, more particularly to methods of culturing cells in a culture environment, either in space or in a gravity field, with minimum fluid shear stress, freedom for 3-dimensional spatial orientation of the suspended particles and localization of particles with differing or similar sedimentation properties in a similar spatial region.

Abstract: A radar antenna arrangement with at least a pair of feeds, said arrangement including a corresponding at least a pair of lens elements, the element closest to said feeds effective for collimating the output beam of each of said feed, and the remaining ones of said elements each being associated with a different one of said feeds, whereby at least a pair of separate antenna beams are capble of projection toward a target region.
