TL;DR: In this paper, a corner-truncated inverted-L patch antenna for achieving circular polarization (CP) operation over a wide bandwidth is presented, where the antenna has a thick air-layer substrate and can be easily excited using a probe feed with a short probe pin.
Abstract: An innovative design of a corner-truncated inverted-L patch antenna for achieving circular polarization (CP) operation over a wide bandwidth is presented. The antenna has a thick air-layer substrate; however, it can be easily excited using a probe feed with a short probe pin. CP operation is obtained by selecting an optimal size of the truncated corners, and good impedance matching over a wide bandwidth is obtained by using a beveling technique on the vertical portion of the inverted-L patch. For a prototype constructed for wireless local area network (WLAN) operation in the 2.4-GHz band (2.4–2.484 GHz), the obtained CP bandwidth (3-dB axial ratio) reaches about 7%, and the measured antenna gain is about 8.0 dBi across the CP bandwidth. Details of the antenna design and the experimental results are presented. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

TL;DR: In this article, an identification method of internal interaction force, which can be arbitrary selected in discrete chain-like non-linear system, is presented, tested on example of a two-mass system in which the interaction forces were modeled by spring-damper elements in a non-parallel arrangement.
Abstract: Institute of Materials Science and Applied Mechanics, Wroclaw University of Technology, Smoluchowskiego 25, 50-370 Wroclaw, Poland A determination of mechanical properties of the real material systems under dynamical excitations is a very complex problem. The real system can be described by continuous model as well as a discrete model with a finite number of degree-of-freedom. Some mechanical systems like beams, rods, strings, tow-lines etc. have so-called chain-like configuration and may be treated as the dynamical one-dimensional cascade systems. In this paper, an identification method of internal interaction force, which can be arbitrary selected in discrete chain-like non-linear system, is presented. The method was tested on example of a two-mass system in which the interaction forces were modeled by spring-damper elements in a non-parallel arrangement. In experiment some non-sinusoidal complex loads were applied.

TL;DR: An internal audit methodology for assessing the level of emergency preparedness of the emergency medical services in the Czech Republic is presented and an algorithm was chosen, based on the gradual verification of the evaluation criteria and indicators by an expert group.
Abstract: One of the negative components of international travel is the higher likelihood of emergencies that affect a large number of people (mass negative impact on health), for example the transmission of infectious diseases, as e.g. SARS CoV-2 pandemic. The frequency and sources of mass-casualty incidents are currently changing dynamically, especially with the onset of terrorist attacks and large-scale natural disasters. Health services and emergency medical service (EMS) take part in addressing these emergencies. For this reason, this paper deals with the EMS emergency preparedness in the Czech Republic for an emergency events with a large number of affected people. EMS in the Czech Republic are not provided by the state but by individual regions. EMS in the Czech Republic do not have central management, nor do they use uniform data documentation. The investigation of the current situation has shown that the attitudes of EMS in individual regions of the Czech Republic to the tasks of emergency preparedness for mass casualty incidents are not identical. The current method of evaluating improvements in the quality of EMS emergency preparedness lacks consistency and is not comprehensively supervised. To tackle this, the paper presents an internal audit methodology for assessing the level of emergency preparedness of the emergency medical services. The authors therefore defined the decisive criteria and indicators assessing the quality level of EMS emergency preparedness at major disaster with multiple victim incident. When developing the methodological procedure of the preparedness evaluation, an algorithm was chosen, based on the gradual verification of the evaluation criteria and indicators by an expert group. Some findings and recommendations based on a research carried out in EMS in individual regions of the Czech Republic are presented.

09 Jun 2007TL;DR: Results show that, this novel design of CPW-fed monopole antenna is suitable for both WLAN and WiMax applications.
Abstract: In recent years, wireless communications have progressed very rapidly. Wide-band antenna and multi-band antenna designs have become very important for wireless communications. Several promising monopole antennas for WLAN and WiMax applications have been reported recently. According to the WiMax protocol, there is three bands have been allocated for WiMax application: the lower band is 2.5-2.69 GHz, the middle band is 3.3-3.8 GHz, and the higher band covers from 5.25 GHz to 5.85 GHz. In practical use of WiMax applications, the lower band and the middle band are very close to each other, which lead to cause large effects of coupling and interference. To reduce the coupling and interference between the lower and middle bands, filters must be attached to the antenna to suppress the dispensable bands. However, the cost and the overall antenna size are increased due to the attached filters. In this paper, a CPW-fed printed monopole antenna for dual-band operation of 2.3-4.15 GHz and 4.93-5.83 GHz are proposed. Furthermore, by etching a pair of slits on the proposed monopole antenna, band rejection of frequency range from 2.93 GHz to 3.12 GHz can be achieved. Results show that, this novel design of CPW-fed monopole antenna is suitable for both WLAN and WiMax applications.
