  • Patent number: 11749889
    Abstract: A phased array system has a substrate, a plurality of elements, and a plurality of beamforming ICs. Each beamforming IC has a first set of element interfaces and a second set of element interfaces. The first set of element interfaces may be configured to be polarized in a first polarization, while the second set of element interfaces may be configured to be polarized in a second (different) polarization. Each beamforming IC has a first common interface electrically coupled with its first set of element interfaces and, in a corresponding manner, each beamforming IC also has a second common interface electrically coupled with its second set of element interfaces. The system further has an interconnect element (e.g., a circuit trace, metallization on a PCB, etc.) electrically coupling the first common interface with the second common interface of another beamforming IC.

  • Patent number: 8522875
    Abstract: The invention describes improved fracturing compositions, methods of preparing fracturing compositions and methods of use. Importantly, the subject invention overcomes problems in the use of mists as an effective fracturing composition particularly having regard to the ability of a mist to transport an effective volume of proppant into a formation. As a result, the subject technologies provide an effective economic solution to using high ratio gas fracturing compositions that can be produced in a continuous (i.e. non-batch) process without the attendant capital and operating costs of current pure gas fracturing equipment.

  • Patent number: 8387699
    Abstract: Coal friendly, non-toxic, green fracturing compositions, methods of preparing fracturing compositions and methods of use in various fracturing applications are described. The compositions are characterized as non-toxic compositions enabling effective use of the fracturing compositions in coal bed methane (CBM) formations and particularly shallow CBM formations. The compositions include a liquid component (water-based component) and a gas component in proportions that can support a proppant under turbulent conditions and that promote the formation of a mist.
