The invention provides a single microspherical fiber system which can generate multiple laser outputs. It includes a laser beam at the input end for pumping the system and an output end for the desired laser lines. Pluralities of doped microspheres are adhesively attached to the fiber or inserted into a hollow fiber.
Currently, more than 100 million people suffer from neurodegenerative diseases worldwide (e.g., 30 millions from macular degeneration of the retina, 25 millions from Alzheimer, 6.5 millions from Parkinson), and the global population ageing will be accompanied by an increase of patients. Among treatments for the rehabilitation of neural functions,
Phantom Power, nominally +12 to +48 Volts DC,
is used to power Condenser Microphones.
The "Phantom" aspect refers to the presence of the voltage
on both signal pins (2 & 3, with pin 1 the ground reference) of the balanced line pair of the typical 3 pin XLR-style microphone connector.
Dynamic microphones can tolerate the phantom power,
Current implementations of MICROPHONE mute switches use either a momentary or a maintained connection push-button foot switch, an in-line shorting switch at or in the microphone connector, or a switch within the microphone body itself.
Current implementations of INSTRUMENT mute switches use either an A-B type maintained connection push-button foot switch,
Radio frequency front ends must be miniaturized to create high data bit rate terminals and provide numerous accesses to multimedia services. Generally, thermal management plays an essential role in design of Microwave and RF devices.
The Microturbine Sun Tracker is a Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) unit in the category of Solar Dish Engines. Reference figure 1. A 4Kw electric power output Closed Brayton Cycle (CBC) engine, in this application, will attain heat energy from a solar dish. The solar dish will concentrate the solar rays to a receiver,
We have found that often we put something in the microwave, start it, walk away, and get distracted only to find rotting food in the microwave the next day. One problem is that the light in the microwave is only on during the heating of the food, and goes off - so the food is invisible and easily forgotten.
Our client is an Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patient. Our client was diagnosed with this disease five years ago. It began from the fourth finger of her left hand and eventually started spreading to other parts. The muscle movement of such patients deteriorates continuously affecting the entire body. Hence, gradually the patient loses the ability to talk and move.
It seems as though there is an incredible amount of wasted energy in current internal combustion engine designs, especially in terms of the amount of thermal energy that in one way or another is just vented to the atmosphere. Significant amounts of thermal energy are wasted through the vehicle's radiator,
