445 results about "Reduced height" patented technology

In mathematics, the Pythagoras number or reduced height of a field describes the structure of the set of squares in the field. The Pythagoras number p(K) of a field K is the smallest positive integer p such that every sum of squares in K is a sum of p squares.

Compact multi-band direction-finding antenna system

An compact and rugged antenna system particularly suited to direction finding includes a plurality of antenna arrays for receiving respective frequency bands and colocated on a mast with separation between antenna arrays along the mast. The mast includes a coil wound of an insulator and functioning as a loaded inductor to shift the mast resonance out of the frequency band of the antenna system. A VHF dipole array having elements shaped to reduce scattering to UHF and SHF arrays is supported on movable arms which allow retraction that reduces height and provides mechanical protection to one or more other arrays as well as damping against vibration by contacting the mast with shaped portions of the dipole elements. The bowtie elements of the UHF array are angled at a central region to optimize array diameter at low UHF frequencies. A finned RF electronics housing is preferably provided which reduces solar loading and dissipates heat from antenna electronics. Asymmetrically keyed fittings are provided to permit accurate antenna system, array and element positioning and replaceable components and wiring, both internally and externally of the housing, is held in position to allow field repairs without recalibration.

Intervertebral bone fusion device

A surgical spine implant comprises a solid wedge shape device body is such that said polygonal shape with decreased height posterior and several surfaces that contours to the anatomy of the spine intervertebral space without complex machining across radiuses. The diminished height posteriorly provides for the angulations necessary to accommodate and ensure maintenance of the normal spinal alignment resulting in posterior extension angulations. The device provides ease of application of bone grafts. Such as for impaction of cancellous bone grafts after placement of the device and narrow posterior aspect easily directs grafts. This minimizes the problem of bone grafts hanging up behind the device either to the right or the left of the medial or lateral, which prevents the displacement of the device or prominence of the bone grafts near the spinal canal. The recess hole in the device accommodates a holding insertion tool and ease of bone graft packing “fill” to ensure a tight fit and immobile the attachment of the disc to the lower vertebrae.

A radial power combiner / divider capable of a higher order (for example, N=24) of power combining / dividing and a 15% bandwidth (31 to 36 GHz). The radial power combiner / divider generally comprises an axially-oriented mode transducer coupled to a radial base. The mode transducer transduces circular TE01 waveguide into rectangular TE10 waveguide, and the unique radial base combines / divides a plurality of peripheral rectangular waveguide ports into a single circular TE01 waveguide end of the transducer. The radial base incorporates full-height waveguides that are stepped down to reduced-height waveguides to form a stepped-impedance configuration, thereby reducing the height of the waveguides inside the base and increasing the order N of combining / dividing. The reduced-height waveguides in the base converge radially to a matching post at the bottom center of the radial base which matches the reduced height rectangular waveguides into the circular waveguide that feeds the mode transducer.

Air separation method and apparatus

InactiveUS20080307828A1Reduced flow areaHigher cross-sectional flow areaSolidificationLiquefactionLiquid productNitrogen
A compressed air stream is cooled to a temperature suitable for its rectification within a lower pressure heat exchanger and a boosted pressure air stream is liquefied or converted to a dense phase fluid within a higher pressure heat exchanger in order to vaporize pumped liquid products. Thermal balancing within the plant is effectuated with the use of waste nitrogen streams that are introduced into the higher and lower pressure heat exchangers. The heat exchangers are configured such that the flow area for the subsidiary waste nitrogen stream within the higher pressure heat exchanger is less than that would otherwise be required so that the subsidiary waste nitrogen streams were subjected to equal pressure drops in the higher and lower pressure heat exchangers. This allows the higher pressure heat exchanger be fabricated with a reduced height and therefore a decrease in fabrication costs.

Multi-beveled point needle and syringe having a multi-beveled point needle

A syringe assembly including a needle cannula having a five-beveled point and a needle shield formed of a styrene block poly(ethylene / butylene) thermoplastic elastomer which significantly reduces needle penetration force and may reduce the cycle time for gas sterilization. The multi-beveled needle cannula point includes a primary bevel, a pair of tip bevels and a pair of middle bevels each intermediate the primary bevel and a respective tip bevel, wherein the angles of rotation of the primary bevel and the intermediate bevels are substantially equal resulting in reduced heights of intercepts between the bevels, therby reducing needle penetration force. The needle shield maintains the sharpness of the needle cannula during application, sterilization and removal of the shield and it is believed that the needle shield will also reduce the cycle time of gas sterilization as compared to rubber needle shields and vulcanizate thermoplastic elastomers.
