  • Patent number: 7183975
    Abstract: There is disclosed a dielectric antenna comprising a dielectric resonator mounted in direct contact with a microstrip transmission line formed on one side of a printed circuit board. The dielectric antenna may be a dielectric resonator antenna (DRA), a high dielectric antenna (HDA) or a dielectrically-loaded antenna. The simple construction of the antenna leads to improved manufacturing reliability and efficiency, and allows all functional features of the antenna to be located on one side of a printed circuit board (PCB) substrate.

  • Patent number: 4784120
    Abstract: An arm constraint particularly adapted for use as an aid in the self-feeding of a person afflicated with tremors. The constraint generally includes a base adapted for mounting on a suitable support, such as a table or hospital bedside tray; a forearm rest defining a forearm rest surface; means for supporting the forearm rest on the base for rotation about a first vertically disposed axis and for arranging the rest surface in a horizontally disposed position selectively vertically adjustable relative to the base; a hand rest; mounting means for connecting the hand rest to an end of the forearm rest for rotation relative thereto about a second horizontally disposed axis; a constraint for removably retaining a forearm in engagement with the rest surface with a hand arranged for overlying engagement with the hand rest; a plate supporting table; and mounting means for mounting the plate supporting table on the base to underlie the hand rest and for vertical adjustment relative thereto.
