The at least one focusing element includes an astigmatic or dual axis focusing system configured to direct a focused beam that allows the active denial apparatus to accurately immobilize targets at both close and long range within acceptable limits of intensity. | 11-11-2010 |
20110187453 | Linearizer incorporating a phase shifter - The present invention pertains to a pre-distorter linearizer that incorporates a balanced-to-unbalanced transmission line transition as a phase shifter to feed the linear and non-linear arms of the linearizer with signals of substantially the same amplitude and with a frequency-independent and substantially 180-degree phase difference. Preferably the balanced-to-unbalanced transmission line transition is a slotline-to-microstrip transition. Several alternatives are shown to enhance the bandwidth performance of the linearizer. Using a slotline-to-microstrip transition as a phase shifter provides for a very physically compact and inexpensive design. Furthermore, the flexibility of the slotline-to-microstrip architecture allows the linearizer to be easily integrated into systems that use both solid-state and vacuum-tube amplifiers. | 08-04-2011 |

20110079322 | FUEL FILLER SYSTEM - A capless fuel filler system has lower and upper sealing doors. The upper sealing door prevents water, water vapor, dust, etc. from entering into the space between the lower and upper doors. In prior systems with one sealing door a drain is provided to remove water (either directly entering or condensed water vapor), dust, or excess fuel drips from fueling just upstream of the lower door. By providing two sealing doors, water and dust cannot access the lower door. Although some fuel may puddle upstream of the lower door after a fueling event, the fuel is trapped, with no drain to the exterior, between lower and upper doors. If such fuel evaporates, it causes the lower door to open and vents the fuel vapors to the fuel tank, a desirable disposition for the vapors. The two sealing doors are contained in separate components to facilitate interchangeability and serviceability. | 04-07-2011 |
