20100181099 | COVERED CABLE ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR FORMING THE SAME - A covered cable assembly includes a cable and a sealing assembly. The cable includes a metal sheath and a cable core. The metal sheath has a sheath terminal edge defining a sheath opening. The cable core extends through the metal sheath. The cable core includes an electrical conductor and an oil-impregnated paper insulation layer surrounding the electrical conductor. An extended cable core section of the cable core extends through the sheath opening and beyond the sheath terminal edge. The sealing assembly includes an oil barrier tube, a sealing mastic and a pressure retention tape. The oil barrier tube surrounds the extended cable core section. The sealing mastic surrounds the cable about the sheath terminal edge and overlaps portions of the metal sheath and the oil barrier tube adjacent the sheath terminal edge to effect an oil barrier seal between the metal sheath and the cable core at the sheath opening. The pressure retention tape surrounds the sealing mastic to limit displacement of the sealing mastic. | 07-22-2010 |

20120200470 | Corrugated Horn Antenna with Enhanced Frequency Range - A radiator element for transmission and reception of RF communications formed of a planar conductive material positioned upon a planar dielectric substrate surface. Two lobes formed of the conductive material have side edges abutting a cavity decreasing in cross section between the lobes. The cavity has a widest point configured to receive RF frequencies at the lowest frequency and a narrowest point configured to receive a highest frequency of the element. The widest and narrowest point may be changed during manufacture to fit the frequency spectrum needed. Opposing pairs of recess cavities formed in the side edges of the lobes along the decreasing edges of the cavity enhance the frequency of operation for frequencies paired to the distance between the pairs of notches. Projections are employable along the side edges to optimize impedance. | 08-09-2012 |

20080227359 | Electrode-Less Incandescent Bulb - A method of making an electrodeless incandescent bulb comprises the steps of: | 09-18-2008 |
20130040529 | Electrode-less Incandescent Bulb - The manufacture of an electrodeless bulb involves one end of a tube closed off, and a first neck is formed in the tube close to the closed end. A second neck is formed in the tube, close to the still open end; a metal halide pellet of known size is dropped into the tube and the tube is evacuated. With the vacuum being maintained heat is applied to the closed end, causing the metal halide pellet to sublime and with it the impurities. The impurities are drawn off, the vacuum being maintained and the metal halide condenses in the tube between the necks. Once the tube is cool, the evacuation is discontinued and the tube is refilled with noble gas and the quartz tube is sealed off at the second neck. | 02-14-2013 |
20130052904 | Method of Applying a Faraday Cage Onto The Resonator of a Microwave Light Source - A method of applying a Faraday cage to a lucent resonator, the resonator having a void containing microwave-excitable material and being adapted for microwave resonance in the resonator and within the Faraday cage for driving a light emitting plasma in the void, the method consisting in the steps of: deposition of a conductive material onto the lucent resonator; applying, patterning and developing a photoresist material over the conductive material to leave the conductive material exposed where it is not required; removing the conductive material where not required and the photoresist material from the required conductive material, leaving a reticular network of conductive material providing a Faraday cage and depositing a layer of protective material over the cage of conductive material. | 02-28-2013 |

20150373937 | STABLE TRANSFORMATION OF A POPULATION AND A METHOD OF BIOCONTAINMENT USING HAPLOINSUFFICIENCY AND UNDERDOMINANCE PRINCIPLES - The present invention relates to a method for reducing the competitive fitness of an organism hemizygous for a transgenic locus compared to the organism homozygous for the transgenic locus comprising the steps of: (a) reducing the expression of a haploinsufficient gene in the organism, wherein said reduction is conveyed by a transgenic locus in the organism; and (b) rescuing the reduced expression in the organism, wherein said rescue is conveyed by the same transgenic locus in the organism, yielding an organism which is less competitively fit if hemizygous for the transgenic locus than if homozygous for the transgenic locus. The present invention also relates to a method for decreasing the introgression of a transgenic locus in an organism into a population of otherwise interfertile sexually reproducing organisms comprising the steps of: (a) reducing the expression of a haploinsufficient gene in the organism, wherein said reduction is conveyed by a transgenic locus in the organism; (b) rescuing the reduced expression in the organism, wherein said rescue is conveyed by the same transgenic locus in the organism, and (c) using a transgenic organism obtained in step (b) in an environment comprising otherwise interfertile sexually reproducing wildtype individuals of the organism, wherein the competitive fitness of hemizygous progeny is reduced, thereby decreasing the rate of sexually reproduction and/or viability and/or the competitive fitness of hemizygous progeny. Further envisaged are corresponding genetic systems and genetically modified organisms. | 12-31-2015 |
