Abstract:
The invention relates to an antenna comprising a dielectric substrate ( 1 ) and two resonant printed wiring structures, more particularly for use in high-frequency and microwave domain. On an end face of the structure ( 2 ) is arranged along a first edge and on an opposite, second edge of the same end face a second printed wiring structure ( 3 ). The arrangement of the printed wiring structures provides that resonances are developed which make the use of the proposed antennas in the four separate GPS, DCS/PCS, UMTS and Bluetooth applications possible.
Abstract:
Active display (1, 1') has a display surface with active pixels (3), whereby each pixel is assigned to a local control unit (4). Each control unit controls the light emitted by the pixel according to information it receives in a signaling beam (I) that is transmitted from a projector (2). The signaling beam containing information relating to brightness and color. The invention also relates to a corresponding projection device and a method for presentation of an image of a projection surface. According to the method an infrared or ultraviolet beam is used to transfer digitally encoded data from the projector to the pixel control units.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device (11) for transdermal drug delivery to a target area (21), e.g. a patient's skin (12). Furthermore, the invention relates to a method of operating such a device (11). In order to provide a technique for transdermal drug delivery, in which the delivery rate is maintained despite the use of ultrasound, a device (11) is suggested comprising a drug reservoir (15) and an ultrasonic membrane transducer (1) adapted to cooperate with said drug reservoir (15), said ultrasonic membrane transducer (1) comprising at least two transducer elements (2) forming a transducer array (5), each transducer element (2) having a membrane (6), a number of electrodes (7) disposed on a surface of each transducer element (2) and coupled to the membrane (6) for applying an electrical field to flex the membrane (6) in order to generate an ultrasonic signal, and a control unit (4) for separately controlling the application of the electrical field to flex the membrane (6) of each transducer element (2) in such a way that the ultrasonic signals (101, 102, 103,...) emitted by the transducer elements (2) exhibit phase differences resulting in a focusable overall ultrasonic signal (10) of the transducer array (5).
Abstract:
A compact antenna array comprising a first antenna and a second antenna particularly for use in mobile applications, which are both designed for operation in a common frequency range and comprising a control device, which selects an operating mode depending on the signals assigned to the antennae. The operating mode determines whether both antennae operate or only one of them operates, whether the antennae are operated with a phase offset and which antenna is influenced by what power.
