Abstract: An improved antenna array (100) comprises a set of array elements (102 a-p) electromagnetically coupled to a transmission line. The transmission line comprises a live conductor (122) and a return conductor, and the live conductor (122) is terminated by a direct connection to the return conductor. An input signal fed to the live conductor (122) is radiated by the array elements (102 a-p) and the antenna array (100) is arranged such that any portion of the input signal reaching the termination is reflected at the termination so as to form a reflected signal that superimposes with the input signal to produce a predetermined farfield radiation pattern.

Abstract: 5-formyl-2-furylboronic acid is produced by a) adding a base to a composition containing a boric acid ester and 2-furaldehyde, thereby obtaining a reaction mixture and protecting the formyl group of said 2-furaldehyde with a protective group, b) working-up of the reaction mixture in an acidic medium, and c) isolating of the 5-formyl-2-furylboronic acid.

Abstract: A compound mounting bracket for mounting a safe to a surface is disclosed. The bracket comprises a mounting plate and mounting cover that is adapted to cooperatively attach to the mounting plate. The mounting plate is adapted for securable attachment to a mounting surface and has a generally planar surface with a defined perimeter. The mounting plate includes a plurality of apertures in the planar surface and a plurality of tabs extending outwardly from the perimeter. The mounting cover is comprised of a generally planar top surface with a side wall depending therefrom. The sidewall includes a plurality of detents disposed at predetermined positions about a bottom edge. Each of the detents is positioned to cooperatively engage one of the plurality tabs on the mounting plate. The top surface of the mounting cover also includes a plurality of apertures, at least one of which is disposed in alignment with at least one of the plurality of apertures in the mounting plate.
