摘要:
A satellite antenna arrangement for a satellite communication system comprising: a reflector for producing a far field pattern with near-zero field strength at a predetermined location to reject unwanted signals from said predetermined location or minimise signal power transmitted to said predetermined location, the reflector having a surface comprising a stepped profile arranged to generate the near-zero field strength in the predetermined location. The stepped profile may comprise a radial step. The location of the near-zero field strength can be steered by moving the reflector or by adjusting the amplitude and phase of an additional beam that covers substantially the same region as the main beam reflected by the reflector.

摘要:
The present invention relates to an identification element having an integrated circuit and an antenna coil connected to the integrated circuit. The antenna coil comprises a lower conducting track and an upper conducting track. Each track includes a plurality of turns, with the two tracks being arranged on either side of a dielectric layer. The relative position of the two tracks is such that they overlap substantially only in one selected area or in two selected areas.

The present invention is directed to a printer having a device for printing a data carrier. It is proposed providing the data carrier with at least one transponder chip and equipping the printer with a device for driving the transponder chip. This makes it possible to print the data carrier simultaneously or sequentially and to write data into, or read data out of, the transponder chip.

Optical communications apparatus for sending and receiving optical transmissions to and from a plurality of remote stations by a plurality of independent terminals which are multiplexed so that all operate through a single optical system for both transmission and reception of modulated beams containing encoded data.
摘要:
An active transponder device comprises a CMOS integrated circuit including means for receiving an input signal including coded information, a memory for storing said information, and transmitter means for transmitting an output signal including said information, the input signal and the output signal being both low frequency induction communication signals.Normally, the output signal is emitted in response to an interrogation signal received via the receiving means, and is formed by modulation of that signal with said information after readout from the memory. The transponder operates inherently synchronously, using a single master clock signal which is generated either in an interrogation transmitter or in the programmer for injecting the coded information.The integrated circuit has a second receiving means used in the injection of the coded information. The injection of a clock-pulse which is in synchronism with the input signal enables the memory to receive the coded information.The transponder may be used for the identification of e.g. people or articles at the limits of a particular area e.g. a store.

A satellite communication system includes at least one base station, at least one satellite that can be brought into communication connection with the base station for data transmission, and a plurality of receivers adapted to receive signals transmitted from the satellite. The communication system is designed to transmit data in at least one uplink data stream from the base station to the satellite with a first data transmission rate and to transmit data in at least one downlink data stream from the satellite to the receivers with a second data transmission rate. The first data transmission rate is lower than the second data transmission rate and the satellite is provided with a data storage adapted to store the data transmitted from the base station to the satellite and to supply the data provided for the transmission to the receivers.
摘要:
A suturing apparatus comprises a pair of jaws. A bendable needle housed in one of the jaws is adapted to carry a suture. An optional suture receiver may be disposed adjacent to the opposite jaw. A transition block curves the needle and directs it in a direction generally unparallel to an axis of the carrying jaw. The needle may also be configured to retrieve a suture. A retaining mechanism holds a suture in place to be engaged by the needle. The jaw housing the needle may include a lateral opening through which the suture may be inserted. The needle may also include a lateral notch which may be aligned with lateral opening to receive the suture. An actuator coupled to the needle enables the user to move the needle proximally to align the notch with the lateral slot.
