摘要:
A directional microstrip antenna includes a driven patch surrounded by an isolated reflector and one or more coplanar directors, all separated from a groundplane on the order of 0.1 wavelength or less to provide endfire beam directivity without requiring power dividers or phase shifters. The antenna may be driven at a feed point a distance from the center of the driven patch in accordance with conventional microstrip antenna design practices for H-plane coupled or horizontally polarized signals. The feed point for E-plane coupled or vertically polarized signals is at a greater distance from the center than the first distance. This feed point is also used for one of the feed signals for circularly polarized signals. The phase shift between signals applied to feed points for circularly polarized signals must be greater than the conventionally required 90.degree. and depends upon the antenna configuration.

Selectively restricting changes to a web page is disclosed. It is determined whether a current user is to be limited to editing content. If it is determined that the current user is to be limited to editing content, an interface that enables the current user to edit a content data but not an associated layout data of the web page is displayed to the user, based at least in part on the determination.

Biodegradable polymeric microparticle compositions containing one or more active agents, especially those useful for treating or preventing one or more diseases or disorders of the eye, and methods of making and using thereof, are described. In a preferred embodiment, the microparticle compositions contain one or more active agents useful for managing elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in the eye. Relatively hydrophilic, and preferably carboxylated, polymeric materials such as PLGA are used for a drug such as timolol maleate, which is relatively water soluble, to increase drug loading. Higher molecular weight polymers, as well as the ratio of LA (which has a longer degradation time, up to one to two years) to GA (which has a short degradation time, as short as a few days to a week), are used to provide release over a longer period of time.

A communication system comprises a mobile switching center configured to determine a first delay metric for first traffic on a first path from the mobile switching center to a first node, and determine a first delay differential based on the first delay metric and a second delay metric for second traffic on a second path from the mobile switching center to a second node. The communication system also comprises the second node having a delay buffer configured to delay the second traffic based on the first delay differential.

Systems and methods for synchronizing verification data in a distributed database including client and server databases. The server database may exchange verification data regarding one-time passwords to multiple client databases. An update to the server database may be initiated based on information stored in the client database by pushing updated verification information from the client database to the server database via an SSL tunnel. An update to the client database may be initiated based on information stored in the server database by pulling updated verification data from the server database to the client database via an SSL tunnel. The client database and the server database may include a two-dimensional data field including the verification data and an associated key identifier, and a site ID. The site ID may include a unique identifier to identify the respective database in which it is included. The data field may include a sequence number assigned to each row of data that increases every time the row of information is updated. The client database and the server database may also include a replication tracking table including a record of the last known update to a remote database. Data fields that require updating may be determined based on the site ID and a comparison of the sequence numbers from the replication tracking table and the server's database.

A self-defense flashlight includes sharp edges positioned around the head end. A sharp edge protector can be positioned so as to surround and protect the sharp edges, when the flashlight is not being used for self-defense purposes. When needed, the sharp edge protector can be moved so as to expose the sharp edges, allowing the flashlight to be used as a weapon. The protectable sharp edges can also be positioned around the tail end of the self-defense flashlight.

A medication management system (MMS) includes a medication management unit (MMU) associated with a medical device. The MMU downloads a medication order to the medical device only if information from a first input matches information from a second input. The medical device receives delivery information only from the MMU. The medication order is performed only after delivery data validation. The MMU also determines drug-drug incompatibility. The MMU can modulate (start, stop, and dynamically adjust) medication order performance. The medical device wirelessly receives a patient ID to automatically associate with the patient. During delivery, the medical device caches an updated drug library to replace an existing one. The medical device displays a patient picture for validation. The MMU evaluates the performance of medical devices and caregivers based medical device feedback. The MMU adjusts the output of medical device information conveyed to a caregiver.

A method and apparatus is disclosed for operating a medical device with a screen having an improved graphical user interface, which selectively reallocates screen display for both single and multi-channel pumps. Channel indicators associate operation information with a specific delivery channel. Patient or drug order verification is facilitated with a rendering of the patient or the entire drug order/label on the screen. Decimal numbers are presented in vertically offset decimal format. A dual function button cancels the current operation and, after a delay, clears entered parameters. An area sensitive scrollbar cycles through information at various speeds. Screen brightness is adjusted based on an ambient light detector. A screen saver mode activates based on several operating conditions. The screen is incorporated in a removable user interface.

An antenna for a tire pressure detector is installed on an RF circuit board of the tire pressure detector. The antenna has a seat with a bottom plate. A post is uprightly formed on the bottom plate. A plurality of positioning members evenly formed at an outer periphery of the post. A wire electrically connected with the RF circuit board is coiled round the post and positioned in the positioning members. A cover has a body provided outside the seat. A bolt is inserted through the cover to fasten the antenna on the RF circuit board. The antenna has a low manufacturing cost, and is convenient to be installed.
摘要:
A microstrip array antenna for vertically polarized fan beam (approximately 2.degree..times.50.degree.) for C-band SAR applications with a physical area of 1.7 m by 0.17 m comprises two rows of patch elements and employs a parallel feed to left- and right-half sections of the rows. Each section is divided into two segments that are fed in parallel with the elements in each segment fed in series through matched transmission lines for high efficiency. The inboard section has half the number of patch elements of the outboard section, and the outboard sections, which have tapered distribution with identical transmission line sections, terminated with half wavelength long open-circuit stubs so that the remaining energy is reflected and radiated in phase. The elements of the two inboard segments of the two left- and right-half sections are provided with tapered transmission lines from element to element for uniform power distribution over the central third of the entire array antenna. The two rows of array elements are excited at opposite patch feed locations with opposite (180.degree. difference) phases for reduced cross-polarization.
