| 20090256738 | SYSTEM FOR SIMULTANEOUSLY TRANSMITTING MULTIPLE SIGNALS THROUGH EACH ELEMENT OF A RADAR ARRAY - In conventional phased array antennas, multiple signals that perform different functions, such as radar, electronic warfare (EW) and telecommunications, can each be simultaneously transmitted only through a different sub-aperture of the array. For maximum power and efficiency in conventional phased array antennas, the power amplifiers operate on one signal at a time. The present invention forms a common waveform from multiple signals for transmission through a common aperture of a phased array antenna. In wideband operations, waveform-shaping and amplitude-to-phase-modulation are used to transmit high-power diverse waveforms through every element of the array. | 10-15-2009 |

| 20120054981 | INTERCHANGABLE BRUSH ATTACHMENT FOR ROTARY CARPET CLEANING MACHINE - A brush attachment for a rotary carpet cleaning machine may have interchangeable heads. The brush attachment may also be used on extraction machines to provide both carpet brushing and extraction simultaneously. The interchangeable heads may be used (for example, more firm heads, or more soft heads) to provide different cleaning conditions, depending on the surface to be brushed. Springs may be provided with the brush attachment to permit the attachment to float on the machine. In other words, the springs may permit the brush attachment surfaces to be angled relative to the cleaning face of the machine. | 03-08-2012 |
