  • Publication number: 20170006249
    Abstract: Systems and methods which provide enhanced isolation for receivers using relatively simple and inexpensive modifications or additional circuitry at a receiving station. Embodiments augment a primary antenna of a receiving station with a correlated heterogeneous antenna element. Augmented antenna systems of embodiments provide an appreciable increase in front-to-back isolation with respect to desired signals received at a receiving station. Such augmented antenna systems are particularly useful in a high interference environment, such as an interference limited environment as may be experienced at the edge of two Single Frequency Networks (SFNs). For example, embodiments of an augmented antenna system may be utilized in situations in which positive carrier to noise ratio (C/N) conditions are present (e.g., more signal than noise is present in the desired signal and more signal than noise is present in the interfering signal).

  • Patent number: 8069679
    Abstract: The invention concerns an installation for cryogenic cooling comprising: a main reservoir (1) for a two-phase cryogenic fluid wherein is immersed a superconductor device (4) to be cooled; an auxiliary reservoir (9); and a hydrostatic duct between the bases of the main and auxiliary reservoirs; the auxiliary reservoir being arranged relative to the main reservoir and being dimensioned so as to be able to receive at least a large part of the cryogenic fluid present in liquid form (2) in the main reservoir; restricting means (11) being incorporated in an output manifold (7a) connected to the main reservoir; thus, when the superconductor gets rapidly heated, cryogenic liquid from the main reservoir is delivered, by the vaporized cryogenic fluid pressure, into the auxiliary reservoir wherefrom it flows again by gravity towards the main reservoir when the pressure of the vaporized fluid decreases.

  • Patent number: 7122380
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition suitable for administration to human beings in the prevention or treatment of immunologic disorders includes: an immune complex of an antigen and a purified antibody specific thereto, the antigen being selected from a group consisting of antigens that cause pathogenic immunologic reactions in autoimmune disease and graft rejections, and the antigen and antibody being present in a ratio whereby the antibody blocks essentially all binding sites of the antigen; and a pharmacologically acceptable carrier or diluent. The invention also provides a method of administering the composition for treatment of autoimmune disease and treatment or prevention of graft rejections.
