Abstract: An antenna feed network includes a septum polarizer including a waveguide defining a cavity, wherein a septum is disposed in the cavity to divide the cavity to form a first port and as second port, a diplexer in signal communication with at least one of the first port and the second port of the septum polarizer to route a signal based upon a frequency, and a wave coupler/splitter in signal communication with the diplexer to send and receive signals therebetween, the wave coupler/splitter including a first signal path and a second signal path, wherein the wave coupler/splitter controls a phase shift of a signal transmitted through at least one of the first signal path and the second signal path.

Abstract: A removable and replaceable dispensing head for a fluid dispenser system adapted to deliver the fluid to a user includes a hollow shank extending on an axis. A shank hub is attached to the hollow shank, and an aperture aligned with the hollow portion of the shank extends through the shank hub. A first fixed body is removably attached to the shank hub, the first fixed body and shank hub each having corresponding first attachment means arrayed in a predetermined pattern. A fluid conveyance path is provided through the hollow shank, first fixed body and shank hub. A second fixed body is provided having a second attachment means arrayed in the same predetermined pattern, the second attachment means corresponding to the first attachment means in the shank hub enabling removable attachment of the second fixed body to the shank hub upon removal of the first fixed body from the shank hub.

Abstract: This gas burner system provides an asymmetrical flame pattern together with the presence of glowing embers around and beneath non-combustible logs, closely resembling the overall appearance of a natural wood fire in a fireplace. The burner system has a plurality of gas burner pipes arranged in a fan-out pattern on a log mounting plate to provide gas throughout the logs arranged over the plate. Air supply openings are formed at selected areas in the mounting plate to permit fresh air to pass only therethrough from below the mounting plate to the fire. Air deflectors are located adjacent to the openings and lava rock and/or mineral fiber pieces are placed below the logs over the gas burner pipes to disperse the combustible gas throughout the log arrangement. The provision of openings and deflectors create air currents flowing over the surfaces of the logs to prevent the flames from imposing on the log surfaces for reducing the formation of carbon deposits and carbon monoxide gas.

Abstract: A method and apparatus adapted for the rapid, accurate and repeatable determination of contact angles of liquid droplets applied to curved substrate surfaces. The apparatus includes a support upon which an article may be mounted with the curved substrate surface facing downwardly, a pipette having a discharge end below the downwardly facing curved surface and operable for transferring a predetermined relatively small droplet of a test liquid onto the downwardly facing curved surface, and a contact angle measuring device which includes a lamp for directing a light beam across the suspended droplet such that an image thereof is projected onto a screen from which the contact angle is measurable.
