Abstract: An anode for an aluminum-air battery may include an anode body, which may contain particles of an aluminum alloy in a sodium matrix. An electrolyte for an aluminum-air battery may consist of one of an aqueous acid and an aqueous lye containing at least one halogen and at least one surfactant.

Abstract: A planar differential aperture antenna that has a high gain and wide bandwidth at a millimeter wave band is provided. The differential aperture antenna has a cavity within it that has a height of roughly a quarter of a wavelength of the desired transmission band. The cavity is H-shaped, and has a cross shaped patch within the cavity that is fed differentially by two grounded coplanar waveguides. Two ends of the patch extend towards the ports on either side of the differential aperture antenna, and the other two ends of the patch extend into the cavity lobes, perpendicular with respect to the ports.

Abstract: A high voltage particle accelerator and an energy analyzer fed back to the accelerator, in which the beam of extremely small diameter from a particle source of the field-emission or field-ionization type and the energy analyzer function to produce precisely defined high voltages; use of such an accelerator and focusing lenses to produce a microbeam with reduced chromatic aberration; and production of a microbeam by use of such an accelerator and focusing lenses of the achromatic quadrupole type, further compensated for aperture aberration.
