| 20100220129 | CONTAINER AND METHOD FOR LIQUID STORAGE AND DISPENSING - A method for measuring the volume of liquid, such as ink or solvent, remaining in a container, such as a replacement cartridge for a continuous ink jet printer, uses a reservoir enclosing an internal space having a variable volume for storage.

| 20090065696 | DETECTION METHOD AND APPARATUS - In a terahertz radiation detection system, an array of harmonic transmitters/receivers can be scanned across a field of view. By using an unbalanced pair of Schottky diodes in the mixer of a heterodyne receiver, the receiver can be converted to a transmitter, generating terahertz radiation at even harmonics of the local oscillator. By using local oscillators of different frequencies in the transmitter and a receiver, the receiver can detect the generated radiation. In alternative arrangements, the local oscillator of the transmitter might have the same frequency as that of the receiver but be modulated, either directly or simply as a result of the transmitter being scanned across the field of view. If modulated directly, it might be amplitude or frequency modulation, these having different advantages. A receiver can be switched between acting as a transmitter and as a receiver by turning on and off an electrical bias to the Schottky diode pair. Embodiments of the invention have the further advantages of high signal to noise ratio in the output and the use of narrow bandwidth processing of the IF output. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090115676 | FEEDHORN ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF FABRICATION THEREOF - In a terahertz radiation detection system, such as a terahertz camera, an array of feedhorns feeds detected radiation through waveguides to diode-based mixers for mixing with a local oscillator to produce modulated intermediate frequency (“IF”) signals that can be amplified and used in imaging. The mixers and waveguides are accommodated on the surface of a substrate and multiple substrates can be layered up to support a two-dimensional array of waveguide openings in a face of a waveguide/mixer block. A feedhorn block is brought into register with this face so that each waveguide opening connects with a feedhorn. In order to improve both manufacturing speed and performance, an end portion of each feedhorn is drilled into the opening of a respective waveguide. The main feedhorn block and the waveguide/mixer block are then assembled to bring the main body of each feedhorn into registration with an end portion. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20110133087 | SCANNING METHOD AND APPARATUS - In a terahertz imaging system, a scanning component for scanning a field of view is tracked by an optical beam to obtain positional information. The optical tracking beam can be steered by the scanning component for example by reflection, refraction or diffraction. The steered tracking beam can then be detected by a spatially sensitive detector such as a charge-coupled device array. In a preferred embodiment, the output of a terahertz detector receiving terahertz radiation from the scanned field of view is used to modulate the tracking beam. This means that the spatially sensitive detector can provide an image directly derived from the scanning of the field of view by the terahertz radiation. | 06-09-2011 |
