| 20090153426 | PHASED ARRAY ANTENNA WITH LATTICE TRANSFORMATION - Structure and method for an aperture plate for use in a phased array antenna is disclosed. The aperture plate includes a plurality of waveguide transitions, each with a radiating end, a coupling end and a body portion extending from the radiating end to the coupling end. The waveguide transitions are spaced apart from each other wherein at least a pair of waveguide transitions are spaced apart closer to each other at the radiating end than at the coupling end. The method of manufacturing an aperture plate for a phased array antenna includes sizing a plurality of waveguide transitions based upon certain operating requirements, determining a radiating lattice spacing and configuration based upon the operating requirements, determining a coupling lattice spacing and configuration based upon antenna electronics packaging, optimizing an aperture plate thickness to achieve the radiating lattice and the coupling lattice spacing and configuration, and forming the aperture plate. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20100043223 | Stripline Flex Circuit - The invention removes copper from the concave side of a flex circuit around a bendable region and replaces it with a conductive epoxy to allow it to be formed to tighter bend radii than would otherwise be possible. After the flex circuit is shaped in a tight radius and attached to a mechanical structure, the conductive epoxy is cured to act as functional replacement of the removed copper. | 02-25-2010 |

| 20080310125 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALIGNING AND INSTALLING FLEXIBLE CIRCUIT INTERCONNECTS - A method and apparatus for aligning components on a module. A flexible circuit may be attached to a module in which a tooling apparatus is attached to the module. A plurality of circuit pads on a functional section of the flexible circuit is aligned by a first alignment structure located on a sacrificial portion of the flexible circuit to a second alignment structure on the tooling apparatus. The flexible circuit is attached to the module while the flexible circuit is in an aligned position. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20080316139 | PHASED ARRAY ANTENNA ARCHITECTURE - An antenna array core comprising a plurality of microwave modules, a control layer, a mounting layer, and a signal distribution layer. The control layer is capable of distributing control signals to the plurality of microwave modules. The plurality of microwave modules are attached to an upper surface of the mounting layer and the mounting layer is made from a heat conductive material capable of cooling the plurality of microwave modules. The signal distribution layer is located below the mounting layer, wherein the signal distribution layer is capable of transmitting microwave signals to the plurality of microwave modules and wherein the arrangement of the plurality of microwave modules on the mounting layer, the control layer, and the wave distribution network form a layered architecture for the antenna core. The architecture is a balance between, size, thermal control, manufacturability, cost, and performance so as to be a unique solution. | 12-25-2008 |

| 20080290972 | ACTUATION MAGNET FOR MOVING A CLOSURE NEEDLE OF A HOT-RUNNER NOZZLE OF AN INJECTION MOLDING TOOL - An actuation magnet is provided for moving a closure needle of a hot-runner nozzle of an injection molding tool. The actuation magnet has an armature which is coupled in movement to the closure needle and may be displaced between first and second cores by subjecting at least one coil to current. A permanent magnet is arranged in a manner such that it exerts an additional magnetic force on the armature in at least one, preferably two, movement directions. | 11-27-2008 |
