    Abstract: Antenna modules and systems, and applications and methods of manufacturing thereof, are described herein. An example radio frequency (RF) signal transmitter includes a data signal port to receive a baseband data signal; a carrier signal port to receive an initial carrier signal; and an antenna module coupled to the signal ports. The antenna module includes: a substrate with a front face that has a phased array of active antenna elements that includes at least two columns of the active antenna elements; and a rear face that has, for each column, a RF signal launcher to receive a RF data signal for the column; and a transmitting module mounted to the rear face. The transmitting module has, for each column of active antenna elements: a combiner to form the RF data signal; and a RF signal port to transmit the RF data signal to the RF signal launcher.

    Abstract: A hand vacuum cleaner has an air flow path extending from a dirty air inlet to a clean air outlet. A cyclone chamber positioned in the air flow path has a cyclone air inlet and a cyclone air outlet. A pre-motor filter is positioned downstream of the cyclone air outlet and a suction motor is positioned in the air flow path downstream of the pre-motor filter. The pre-motor filter is vertically spaced from the cyclone axis of rotation when the upper end of the hand vacuum cleaner is positioned above the lower end of the hand vacuum cleaner, and air travels generally rearwardly from the pre-motor filter to the suction motor.

    Abstract: Various embodiments are described herein for switched reluctance machine configurations. In at least one embodiment, a switched reluctance machine configured according to the teachings herein comprises a stator including a predetermined number of salient stator poles (Ns), a rotor rotatably mounted with respect to the stator, with the rotor comprising a plurality of salient rotor poles, and a plurality of coils provided around the predetermined number of stator poles to form at least one phase of the switched reluctance machine, where the rotor poles and the stator poles are symmetrically disposed, and a number of rotor poles is related to Ns and a number of phases according to: i) (Ns/m)k ceil (mod (k,m)/m) for an odd number of phases, and ii) (Ns/m)k ceil (mod(k,m/2)/m/2) for an even number of phases, where m is the number of phases, and k is a configuration index based on Ns and m.

    Abstract: A device for manipulating magnetic particles, and the method of fabricating and use thereof. The device includes a substrate; a conductive element formed onto the substrate in a pattern shaped to enhance a magnetic field generated in response to an applied current; an insulating layer to isolate the conductive element from a magnetic element; and a magnetic element formed onto the insulating layer to enhance a magnetic force resulting from the magnetic field generated by the conductive element. The magnetic element can be shaped similarly to the conductive element, and edges of the magnetic element are substantially aligned with edges of the conductive element. During fabrication, the substrate and the conductive element can be heated to cause the substrate to shrink thereby resulting in a wrinkled structure at the conductive element. The device can be used to manipulate the magnetic particles within a biological sample, such as cells and/or biomolecules.

    Abstract: Various embodiments are described herein for a system and a method for identifying a region of interest in tissue using mass spectrometry. An agent administration component can be provided to administer an exogenous agent to the tissue. A sampling unit can also be provided to acquire a sample from the tissue. The sample can then be provided to a high sensitivity analysis platform, such as a mass analyzer, to analyze the sample and determine a distribution of the exogenous agent or a by-product of the exogenous agent within the tissue based on the analysis. The analysis platform can then identify the region of interest based on the distribution of the exogenous agent or the distribution of the by-product.
