International Classification:

G06F 1300

US Classification:

709219, 709200, 709227, 705 74, 707 10, 455419, 455517

Abstract:

Techniques and approaches that facilitate acquisition, transmission or retrieval of data for wearable devices are disclosed. These wearable devices are electronic devices, such as mobile computing devices or wireless communication devices, and are often small in scale and very portable. Wearable devices are able to communicate with one another to exchange information. Wearable devices are also able to exchange information with a portal server. Personal portals can also be provided for users of the wearable devices so that they can easily access information gather by their wearable device and subsequently transmitted to their personal portal.

H01P 704
H01P 706

US Classification:

333228

Abstract:

A mode filter apparatus for preventing unwanted modes in a multi-moded structure utilizing a radial plurality of resonant slots on the bottom of the filter cavity. The top of the filter cavity includes a variable height center section to provide mode selectivity in cooperation with the resonant slots.

Appl. No.:

5/855054

Inventors:

Robert S. Harp - Westlake Village CA
Kenneth J. Russell - Thousand Oaks CA

Assignee:

Hughes Aircraft Company - Culver City CA

International Classification:

H03B 714

US Classification:

331 56

Abstract:

The specification describes a solid state microwave power combiner wherein a plurality of solid state power generating devices are mounted between adjacent conical support and housing structures. These structures define the microwave electrical circuits for these devices, and also as provide a waveguiding region for propagating energy from these devices to a common output line. Both the support and housing structures have their apexes integrally joined, respectively, to input and output conductors of a common output coaxial line used for coupling power out of the combiner. This novel geometrical configuration minimizes the electrical distance between the power generating devices and the coaxial output line, maximizes the packing density of the structure and optimizes the electrical performance of RF termination elements for these devices.

Appl. No.:

Assignee:

Hughes Aircraft Company - Culver City CA

International Classification:

H01P 116

H03B 912

US Classification:

333 21R

Abstract:

Disclosed is an active radial-to-coaxial transmission line wherein an annular configured semiconductor device, such as an IMPATT diode, is embedded in a chosen dielectric material which is in turn positioned between two conductive members forming a radial transmission line. Advantageously, the lower conductive member of the transmission line also serves as a heat sink for the diode, and the upper conductive member of the radial transmission line may be formed as a highly conductive coating which makes good ohmic contact to the diode, thereby minimizing power losses at this contact. The radial transmission line transforms the relatively low impedance of the diode to a substantially higher value at the outer periphery thereof where contact to a coaxial transmission line may be achieved with good impedance matching, thereby maximizing power transfer between the radial and coaxial transmission lines.
