A solar tracking system with a torque tube supporting solar panels. Columns support the system and have bearings for rotation of the torque tube. A drive is coupled to the torque tube and is driven by a gearbox, such as a worm gear assembly, for rotating the array of solar panels to follow the sun's diurnal motion. The array can rotate in an opposite direction, or backtrack, to prevent shadowing from one module row to another. Multiple gearboxes can be mechanically linked by drive shafts and driven by a single motor. The drive shafts may incorporate universal joints for uneven terrain or staggered configurations. Harmonic dampers can be affixed to the solar panels to decouple wind forces which allows the use of larger solar panels.

The invention relates to a radar system which comprises: (a) at least two transmitting units for simultaneously, and in synchronization transmitting electromagnetic radiation in distinct frequencies f1, f2, f3 . . . towards a space of interest; and (b) at least one receiving unit tuned to a frequency of nf1+mf2+qf3 . . . , wherein n, m, q . . . being integers not equal to zero, for receiving a non-linear response of said radiation from objects located within the said space of interest.

The present invention describes a multi-component handpiece that is both economical and practical for surgical laser treatment. A disposable optical fiber is inserted into a reusable handpiece. The distal end of the optical fiber is protected by a micro-walled protective tube to prevent the disposable fiber from chipping before and during insertion into the handpiece. Once the optical fiber is protected, it is inserted into the handpiece by threading the optical fiber through the cap, body, and cannula of the handpiece until the fiber extends slightly beyond the distal end of the needle. The micro-walled protective tube is removed from the end of the optical fiber, the optical fiber is positioned, and the cap is tightened. The cap and body of the handpiece cooperate to produce a tight friction fit that prevents longitudinal movement of the optical fiber during laser therapy. The tight friction fit holds the optical fiber in place without the use of adhesives, which allows for facilitated removal of the disposable fiber after use. Furthermore, a disposable fiber allows for convenient resterilization of the handpiece to eliminate the transmission of disease from one patient to the next without having to dispose of the entire handpiece following every laser procedure.
