Patent number: 11936113Abstract: An antenna array assembly comprises a ground plate, a linear array of patch radiator elements disposed in a spaced parallel relationship with a first face of the ground plate, and a first, second, third and fourth elongate passive radiator, each comprising one or more substantially planar conductive parts which are electrically isolated from the ground plate. The first and second elongate passive radiators are disposed symmetrically on either side of the linear array and parallel to a centre line of the linear array, on the same side of the ground plate as the linear array. The third and fourth elongate passive radiators are disposed further from the linear array than are the first and second elongate passive radiators. Each of the third and fourth elongate passive radiators is narrower than and projects further from the ground plate than does each of the first and second elongate passive radiators.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Cambium Networks LtdInventors: Jomon Thomas, Deepu Nair, Visalakshy Tc, Nigel King, Varun Hegde

Publication number: 20100230871Abstract: A method of sintering a ceramic material comprises increasing the temperature of the ceramic material to a first predetermined temperature and maintaining the temperature of the ceramic material at the first predetermined temperature for a predetermined time period to increase the grain size of the ceramic material. Increasing the temperature of the ceramic material to a second predetermined temperature, decreasing the temperature of the ceramic material to a third predetermined temperature to freeze the grain size of the ceramic material and maintaining the temperature of the ceramic material at the third predetermined temperature for a third predetermined time period to densify the ceramic material. Finally decreasing the temperature of the ceramic material to ambient temperature. The method increases the density of the ceramic material. Used for electrolyte layers of solid oxide fuel cells.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2007Publication date: September 16, 2010Applicant: ROLLS-ROYCE FUEL CELL SYSTEMS LIMITEDInventors: Gary John Wright, Nigel Thomas Hart, Michael Bernhard Jorger, Gerard Daniel Agnew
