  • LOW LOSS TRAVELLING WAVE PARAMETRIC DEVICES USING PLANAR CAPACITORS
    Publication number: 20240097634
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a travelling wave parametric amplifier (TWPA) includes forming a superconducting junction on a substrate. Trenches are etched away through a metal surface and into a layer of dielectric material. The trenches define a plurality of fingers positioned in an interdigitated arrangement of capacitors defined by a metal and a dielectric material that remains from the etched away metal surface and the layer of dielectric material.

  • Standing frame with multi-angle positioning while maintaining user orientation
    Patent number: 9931257
    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed as having, for example, a frame, a support assembly, and a pivot joint pivotably connected to the frame and the support assembly for positioning in a plurality of modes including, for example, a user in supine, standing, and/or prone positions. The apparatus may be positioned within various ranges that include supine and prone modes without re-configuring the apparatus.

  • Modular standing frame
    Patent number: 8567808
    Abstract: A modular standing frame is described herein. The modular standing frame has a chair module adapted to raise and lower a user between sitting and standing postures without inducing shear between the user and the seat and seat back of the chair module. The chair module may be selectively coupled to one of a glider module adapted to provide walking-type exercise to a standing user, a workstation module that provides a work surface for a sitting or standing user, and a mobility module that allows the standing frame to be moved about by a user much like a wheel chair.
