Patent number: 11907331Abstract: Disclosed in the present invention are a method and system for evaluating a fractal dimension of particle matter in a dispersing system. The method includes: setting that distribution of a particle radius r of particle matter in a dispersing system obeys logarithmic normal distribution lnr˜N(?, ?2) with an expectation ? and a standard deviation ?, and determining the value of the standard deviation ?; and evaluating a fractal dimension Dƒ of the dispersing system on the basis of the standard deviation ?, an evaluation formula being: Dƒ=1/?. The present invention provides the formula for evaluating the fractal dimension of particle distribution in a dispersing system. When the formula is used to calculate a fractal dimension, only particle radius distribution of particle matter needs to be measured, and no geometrical morphology feature parameter of the particle matter needs to be measured. Factors such as particle morphology and the like do not affect the fractal dimension.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2023Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: HUAZHONG UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYInventors: Mingliang Xie, Yixiong Yang, Zhihao Jiang

Patent number: 10181647Abstract: An antenna apparatus can include a transmission medium that is positioned within layers of an antenna apparatus that are positioned adjacent to a first upper layer that is configured to include a signal receiving and transmission element (e.g. an antenna, patch antenna, etc.). The transmission medium can include or otherwise be connected to one or more resonators so that only a signal within a pre-selected band is passable through the transmission band. Any signal in a band outside of the pre-selected band may not be passable through the transmission medium due at least in part to the resonators. In some embodiments, the transmission medium may be part of a stripline or a microstrip. Embodiments of the apparatus may also be configured to block backward radiation emittable from the antenna to help prevent a body of a person near that device from absorbing such radiation.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2016Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: The Penn State Research FoundationInventors: Douglas H.
