Patent
Radio frequency coaxial cavity resonator as an ignition source and associated method
TL;DR: In this article, an apparatus for providing an ignition source for internal combustion engines comprises a radio frequency oscillator, an amplifier and a coaxial cavity resonator, which is adaptable for communication with a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine.
Patent
Method and apparatus for measuring the color of three dimensional objects
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for measuring color of objects comprises storing in a computer memory values representative of measurements of the color of an object over a range of angular positions with respect to a photosensor, selecting a measurement area of the object, determining a geometrical structure of the measurement area, and adjusting the measured color in response to the stored values.

Axial vane rotary device and sealing system therefor
Brian W. Cherry,James E. Smith,Victor E. Mucino,Nigel N. Clark,Gregory J. Thompson,Patrick Ryan Badgley +5 more
TL;DR: An axial vane rotary device (14) includes a stator with a cylindrical internal chamber (34) defined by an annular outer wall (40) and two side walls (36, 38) of the stator as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electromagnetic design of a novel microwave internal combustion engine ignition source, the quarter wave coaxial cavity igniter
Franz A. Pertl,James E. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed overview of the QWCCR's history is presented, followed by an electromagnetic analysis of the resonator, focusing on geometric and material parameter relations compared with performance characteristics, such as resonator quality factor and developed tip electric field.
