HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

H01Q 13/00
H01P 11/00
H01P 1/207

US Classification:

343776, 333208, 29600

Abstract:

A mode filter for an antenna having at least one element aperture is provided. The mode filter includes at least one waveguide extension to extend the at least one element aperture, and at least one two-by-two (2×2) array of quad-ridged waveguide sections connected to a respective at least one waveguide extension. When the at least one waveguide extension is positioned between the at least one element aperture and the at least one two-by-two (2×2) array of quad-ridged waveguide sections, undesired electromagnetic modes of the antenna are suppressed.

H01Q 25/00

Abstract:

An antenna comprises: a first set of two subarrays and a second set of two subarrays, where each subarray comprises: a set of antenna elements; a set of shunt waveguides, where each shunt waveguide is coupled to a unique subset of antenna elements; and a series waveguide coupled to each shunt waveguide of the set of shunt waveguides; wherein all of the series waveguides are substantially parallel; wherein each subarray of the first set is interleaved with a unique subarray of the second set so as to form first interleaved subarrays and second interleaved subarrays; wherein the first interleaved subarrays and the second interleaved subarrays are adjacent; and wherein the series waveguides of the second set are disposed within the series waveguides of the first set without any interceding series waveguides.

Inventors:

- Morris Plains NJ, US
Shawn David Rogers - Johns Creek GA, US

International Classification:

H01Q 1/24

Abstract:

Systems and methods for an antenna conformal to a sphere are provided. In certain implementations, an apparatus comprises a sphere having a recessed portion formed therein, the sphere enclosing instrumentation that produces a transmittable electronic signal; central conductor placed within the recessed portion, wherein the central conductor is coupled to the instrumentation to receive the transmittable electronic signal, wherein the transmittable electronic signal is emitted outside of the sphere; and an insulator cap located over the recessed portion, wherein locations on the external surface of the insulator cap and an external facing surface of the central conductor are substantially equidistant from a center point of the sphere.

International Classification:

E01H 1/08
B08B 5/02

Abstract:

Provided are apparatuses, methods, and systems to clear a road surface of debris, water, or other contaminants. A system for clearing a road surface is provided including an air knife with an elongate orifice extending along a line, a frame configured to support the air knife in a position substantially parallel to a plane defined by the road surface, and a tow bar coupled to the frame, where the tow bar is pivotable relative to the frame along an axis orthogonal to the plane defined by the road surface. The system may include a mounting plate connected to the tow bar, where the mounting plate is pivotably mounted to the frame. The air knife may be supplied with pressurized air to clear the road surface of debris. A guide wheel may be attached to the frame, where the guide wheel is configured to rotate about an axis orthogonal to the plane defined by the road surface.
