20140052388 | Wire Timing and Tensioning Device - A “semi-automated” device, method and/or system for the determination of line sag in a tensioned (e.g., power) line is described. A prescribed number of waves based on the waves required by a given sag-tension chart is input. After the device is directly or indirectly attached onto the line, the user then induces a wave on the line either by pulling/striking the tensioned line. The device automatically measures the acceleration/inflection of the passing waves and the time of arrival of waves, as well as ambient temperature, and signaling the user upon completion of the measurement. These recorded values can be used to determine the actual sag of the tensioned line, thus avoiding the current error-prone approach of using a manual stopwatch and visual deflection of the waves. | 02-20-2014 |

20100148777 | MAGNET ARRAY - A magnet array is disclosed which is suitable for inter alia producing a remote field for use in unilateral magnetic resonance. In the “Magnet Array”, two separated magnets, which are magnetized along a substantially same collinear magnetization direction, produce a field with a local maximum centered above and between them.

A third magnet is centered between the two separated magnets. The third magnet has a magnetization direction which is substantially parallel to the collinear magnetization direction of the two separated magnets. The third magnet produces a field which is substantially parallel to the collinear magnetization direction of the two separated magnets, and adds to the increasing field below the local maximum point produced by the two separated magnets.

20100018455 | System for Forming SiC Crystals Having Spatially Uniform Doping Impurities - A physical vapor transport system includes a growth chamber charged with source material and a seed crystal in spaced relation, and at least one capsule having at least one capillary extending between an interior thereof and an exterior thereof, wherein the interior of the capsule is charged with a dopant. Each capsule is installed in the growth chamber. Through a growth reaction carried out in the growth chamber following installation of each capsule therein, a crystal is formed on the seed crystal using the source material, wherein the formed crystal is doped with the dopant. | 01-28-2010 |
20130280466 | Large Diameter, High Quality SiC Single Crystals, Method and Apparatus - A method and system of forming large-diameter SiC single crystals suitable for fabricating high crystal quality SiC substrates of 100, 125, 150 and 200 mm in diameter are described. The SiC single crystals are grown by a seeded sublimation technique in the presence of a shallow radial temperature gradient. During SiC sublimation growth, a flux of SiC bearing vapors filtered from carbon particulates is substantially restricted to a central area of the surface of the seed crystal by a separation plate disposed between the seed crystal and a source of the SiC bearing vapors. The separation plate includes a first, substantially vapor-permeable part surrounded by a second, substantially non vapor-permeable part. The grown crystals have a flat or slightly convex growth interface. Large-diameter SiC wafers fabricated from the grown crystals exhibit low lattice curvature and low densities of crystal defects, such as stacking faults, inclusions, micropipes and dislocations. | 10-24-2013 |
20130320275 | Vanadium Compensated, SI SiC Single Crystals of NU and PI Type and the Crystal Growth Process Thereof - In a crystal growth apparatus and method, polycrystalline source material and a seed crystal are introduced into a growth ambient comprised of a growth crucible disposed inside of a furnace chamber. In the presence of a first sublimation growth pressure, a single crystal is sublimation grown on the seed crystal via precipitation of sublimated source material on the seed crystal in the presence of a flow of a first gas that includes a reactive component that reacts with and removes donor and/or acceptor background impurities from the growth ambient during said sublimation growth. Then, in the presence of a second sublimation growth pressure, the single crystal is sublimation grown on the seed crystal via precipitation of sublimated source material on the seed crystal in the presence of a flow of a second gas that includes dopant vapors, but which does not include the reactive component. | 12-05-2013 |

20140023334 | OPTICAL FIBER CABLE DROP INTERFACE BOX - Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of a drop interface box (DIB) for interfacing between an optical network service provider's heavy jacketed drop cable and optical distribution cables at a premises. The DIB provides organized drop, feed and distribution fiber cable storage and routing in a manner which does not cross different cables types when additional cables are added, and which maintains minimum bend radius of the cables and inhibits cable strain. In exemplary embodiments, a hinged fiber storage panel includes spools, cable clips and integrated cable channels that maintain cable radius during transitions of cables from a storage side or plane of the panel to a connector side or plane of the panel. | 01-23-2014 |

20150353208 | HIGHLY INCLINED ELLIPTICAL ORBIT LAUNCH AND ORBIT ACQUISITION TECHNIQUES - Techniques for placing a satellite into a highly inclined elliptical operational orbit having an argument of perigee of 90° or 270° include executing an orbit transfer strategy that transfers the satellite from a launch vehicle deployment orbit to the operational orbit. The launch vehicle deployment orbit is selected to have an argument of perigee of approximately 90° greater than the argument of perigee of the operational orbit, an apogee altitude of approximately 14000 km and a perigee altitude of approximately 500 km. The orbit transfer strategy includes (i) an apsidal rotation of approximately 90°, at least a substantial part of the apsidal rotation being attained without expenditure of any satellite propellant; and (ii) an electric orbit raising maneuver to attain an apogee altitude and a perigee altitude required by the HIEO. | 12-10-2015 |
20150353209 | HIGHLY INCLINED ELLIPTICAL ORBIT DE-ORBIT TECHNIQUES - Techniques for deorbiting a satellite include executing an orbit transfer maneuver that transfers the satellite from an operational orbit to an interim orbit. The operational orbit is substantially geosynchronous and has (i) an inclination of greater than 70 degrees; (ii) a nominal eccentricity in the range of 0.25 to 0.5; (iii) an argument of perigee of approximately 90 or approximately 270 degrees; (iv) a right ascension of ascending node of approximately 0; and (v) an operational orbit apogee altitude. The interim orbit has an initial second apogee altitude that is at least 4500 km higher than the first apogee altitude, and the interim orbit naturally decays, subsequent to the orbit transfer maneuver, such that the satellite will reenter Earth's atmosphere no longer than 25 years after completion of the orbit transfer maneuver. | 12-10-2015 |
