  • Patent number: 11496192
    Abstract: Phased array antenna systems and methods for operating phased array antenna systems to efficiently generate multiple beams from a single phased array aperture are disclosed. Elements included in a phased array antenna are randomly assigned to generate one of first or second beams. A phase index for the first set of elements is iterated n times, and a total difference in phase amounts for neighboring elements belonging to different ones of the first and second sets is calculated for each of the n iterations. The phase index resulting in the smallest calculated difference is applied to generate the first beam. The first and second beams are generated from the single phased array aperture simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 10279864
    Abstract: A chainring structure may include a torque output section comprising a plurality of sprockets having two axially bounding sprockets defining an inner-most and outer-most sprocket and a torque input section configured to attach to a crank assembly. The chainring structure may also include a power meter chamber disposed radially between the torque input section and the torque output section, the power meter chamber including a base surface of a strain measurement section. The power meter may be disposed in the power meter chamber and have at least one strain measurement device attached to the base surface. The torque output section, torque input section, and power meter chamber may be formed as a unitary single piece and configured to dispose the base surface axially between the axially bounding sprockets of the plurality of sprockets.

  • Publication number: 20070276252
    Abstract: A method of measuring blood flow through a blood vessel is provided using a single quasi-continuous mode probe that can support multiple frequencies without increasing the probe tip size. A plurality of elements are provided in the probe tip. Each element emits ultrasound waves using a long pulsed signal with each element having a different resonant frequency. Each element also receives ultrasound energy in a continuous mode. A selector is manually controlled by a practitioner to select the active element. The output may take a variety of forms. For example, the output may be printed, displayed, recorded to a memory, and/or played through a speaker or headset.

  • Publication number: 20070191182
    Abstract: An electronic transmission range selection (ETRS) system for shifting a transmission range of a transmission includes an electro-mechanical park inhibit assembly that operates to disallow the ETRS system from shifting from an Out-of-Park mode to a Park mode under certain circumstances. The park inhibit assembly includes a follower having a recess defined thereon and slidably disposed within a follower bore. In one embodiment a selectively energizable solenoid assembly is mounted substantially perpendicular to the follower and operates to bias a ball into the recess when energized thereby locking the ETRS system in the Out-of-Park mode. In another embodiment the park inhibit assembly includes a selectively energizable motor assembly mounted substantially perpendicular to the follower. The motor assembly operates to enforce the Park and Out-of-Park mode of the ETRS system.

  • Patent number: 6734123
    Abstract: The invention is directed to applying a plurality of polyurethane coating layers to a knit, woven or non-woven fabric substrate, following by sealing of two of such coated substrates together by radio frequency sealing, hot air sealing, or ultrasonic sealing to form an improved air-holding restraint system, such as an air curtain or air bag with superior air-holding characteristics.

  • Patent number: 4892332
    Abstract: Roller skis have an effective braking system. At least one friction producing braking element, such as a truncated cone of friction producing plastic resin (e.g. polyurethane) or rubber, is mounted to the bottom of a roller ski so that it overlaps the inner edge of the roller ski, positioned along the roller ski generally at the position at which the ski boot is mounted. The braking element may be connected to the roller ski by a separate attachment comprising a channel-shaped element with a screw clamp for connecting the channel-shaped element to the ski, and with the braking element extending downwardly from the channel. When it is desired to stop while practicing Nordic skiing (cross-country skiing) or Alpine skiing, the skier simulates a "snow plowing" maneuver, which brings the braking elements at the inside edges of both skis into contact with the ground, causing the roller skis to stop.
