Abstract: Disclosed herein is a plant-based, blood-free diet formulation for hematophagous insects comprising effective amounts of a plant-based protein source and, in some aspects, a carbohydrate source, wherein the plant-based, blood-free diet formulation is suitable for egg production and colony maintenance of hematophagous insects. In some aspects, such hematophagous insects include, but are not limited to, mosquitoes. In some aspects, the plant-based protein source is derived from hemp seeds. In some aspects, the protein source comprises additional proteins in addition to hemp protein. In some aspects, one or more additional proteins in the formulation is derived from spirulina, soybeans, chia seeds, quinoa, oats, nutritional yeast, and/or green peas.

Abstract: There is described an integrated antenna for radiating an electromagnetic beam at a wavelength ?, for example, in a range of millimeter and submillimeter waves. The antenna is integrated in a dielectric die having specific dimensions, and is configured as a dense array comprising two or more radiating elements (transmitters). The proposed array is denser than a conventional 1D or 2D array, would such a conventional array be arranged on the same dielectric die with a spacing ?/2 between its neighbouring radiating elements.

Abstract: Technique for improving efficiency of on-chip antennas, comprising placing each antenna on an individual area on the chip, defined by channels provided in the chip before or after placing the antenna(s). The channels may be metallized. Frequency of a radiating antenna element may be locked by wireless injection locking using a locked subharmonic frequency.
