  • Patent number: 9697979
    Abstract: A microwave wave generator device with oscillating virtual cathode, with axial geometry, includes at least one first reflector positioned in a cylindrical waveguide downstream of a thin anode, positioned at the entrance of the cylindrical waveguide, between a cathode and the cylindrical waveguide. The device further includes a tight magnetic ring of width (LM) along the longitudinal axis (z), positioned externally around the cylindrical waveguide, between the thin anode and the first reflector.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9496114
    Abstract: A device for generating microwaves with an oscillating virtual cathode includes a cathode, and a thin anode positioned at an inlet of a cylindrical waveguide (5). The waveguide includes at least one first open reflector and one last open reflector that are transparent to electrons and capable of reflecting a microwave created by at least one virtual cathode generated in the waveguide. A plurality of open reflectors are between the first and last open reflector, such that a designated reflector of the plurality of open reflectors has a radius R(i?1) less than or equal to a radius Ri of an immediately preceding reflector and the last open reflector has a radius RN less than a radius R1 of the first open reflector.

  • Patent number: 5191341
    Abstract: A system to control sea navigation or traffic of a plurality of ships or moving bodies is disclosed. The system comprises a radio navigation reference system comprising at least two reference beacon sources and a navigation central station M. Said central station M, the reference beacon sources and the ships or moving bodies are provided with a first intercommunication means from said central station M to each reference beacon source, said first intercommunication means being synchronized by said central station M, and a second intercommunication means from said central station and each reference beacon source to each ship or moving body.
