  • Patent number: 10312995
    Abstract: A spacecraft includes a payload subsystem including a plurality of transmit antenna feeds, a digital channelizer, and a power amplification arrangement including a plurality of power amplifiers. The power amplification arrangement has at least one input communicatively coupled with an output of the digital channelizer and at least one output communicatively coupled with at least one of the plurality of transmit antenna feeds. A processor is configured to control the digital channelizer, and to adjust a saturated output power of at least one power amplifier of the plurality of power amplifiers in the power amplification arrangement.

  • Publication number: 20060119014
    Abstract: A method of producing a container with a desired opening profile. The process of blow molding is used to produce a bottle (10). The bottle (10) has one or more integral dimple (13), posts (15), or hole features, which are in radial alignment. These features may be produced in the molding process or produced in a separate operation once the bottle has been ejected from the mold press. The neck (12) is then trimmed away and the desired opening profile is created. A second part, a door (14), may then be snapped onto the container's radial features to form a hinge (16).

  • Patent number: 4941066
    Abstract: A molded center core for a flexible recording disc and a related method of manufacture are provided. The disc includes a recording media sandwiched between an injection molded center core having a metal insert, and an injection molded ring. The core and ring are ultrasonically welded to hold the media in place. The method includes the steps of: injection molding a separate plastic center core with a metal insert therein; injection molding a separate plastic ring; locating the center core/insert combination in the central opening of the recording media to abut a first surface of the media; locating the molded ring on the center core to abut a second, opposite surface of the media; and permanently connecting the core and ring.
