Abstract: An antenna is provided, which is located within an enclosure. The antenna includes one or more arms, where each arm has an electrical length corresponding to an intended frequency band of transmission, and along said length of the arm a source of external loading will have a variable effect. The enclosure includes one or more anticipated points of contact, where a source of external loading will be brought into proximity with said enclosure, and where the one or more arms are constructed and arranged to locate the relatively high impedance areas of the antenna at least a predetermined distance from the one or more anticipated points of interest, and the relatively low impedance areas of the antenna are located more proximate the anticipated points of interest.

Abstract: A turbine assembly comprises 2 or more symmetrical vanes or blades attached to a centralized shaft. The assembly may be placed into a fluid current for transferring energy therefrom. Each blade has a scoop with a relatively broader span at the top end and a relatively narrow span at the bottom, which scoop-like vane or blade resembles an inverted tear drop. Eighty-six percent of the potential energy vector is captured within the blade assembly. One end may be connected to a power generation device that will create electrical power when rotated. Certain energy transferring methodology is believed further supported by the vane or blade designed incorporated into the overall turbine assembly.

Abstract: An antenna system (110) for more efficient radiation and reception of radio frequency (RF) signals includes a primary conductor (302), a ground conductor (306) and one or more secondary conductors (310). The primary conductor (302) functions as a first antenna by receiving or radiating electromagnetic energy at a first set of one or more predetermined frequencies of operation. The ground conductor (306) is coupled to one end of the primary conductor (302). Each of the one or more secondary conductors (310) has a first end coupled to the ground conductor (306) near an area of higher current densities which forms when the primary conductor (302) is receiving or radiating electromagnetic energy at one of the first set of predetermined frequencies. The one or more secondary conductors (310) function to provide an additional path for any localized ground currents in the ground conductor (306) near the area of higher current densities.
