Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) reflecting apparatus includes a curved reflecting element and resistive material coupled to the curved reflecting element proximate two or more edges of the curved reflecting element. The resistive material has a first portion with a first conductance and a second portion with a second conductance that differs from the first conductance. The RF reflecting apparatus also includes a frame coupled to the curved reflecting element and at least one wheel coupled to the frame. The at least one wheel is configured to enable to translation of the curved reflecting member.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a rotary machine, the basic elements of which are generically adapted for use as a two-stage pneumatic compressor or as a four-cycle combustion engine or as a two-cycle combustion engine. The basic combination of elements of the machine comprises a plurality of rotors rotatably mounted on axes disposed at substantially right angles to each other and wherein the rotors are provided with peripheral portions having inwardly notched or recessed chamber portions which are disposed between alternate radially extending lobe portions.
