A new multiple C-slotted microstrip patch antenna is proposed in the present study. A patch antenna is a wide-beam narrowband antenna. The microstrip patch antenna consists of a very thin metallic strip (patch) placed a small fraction of a wavelength above a ground plane. The patch can be designed in any possible shape and normally made of conducting materials such as copper or gold. This study...

A systematic method for connection-wise endto-end delay analysis in asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks is proposed. This method consists of the followings: (i) per-stream nodal analysis; (ii) output processes characterization; and (iii) moment matching scheme. Following our previous work [1], we employ H-MMPPs/Slotted D/1 to model ATM queues. Each virtual connection (VC) in ATM networks ...

The slotted waveguide slow-wave stochastic cooling arrays are an integral part of the 4-8 GHz Debuncher Upgrade at FNAL. Unlike the standard array of stripline electrodes, these structures are designed to work when the beam pipe can support many microwave modes. The design theory and beam measurement results of this new type of pickup structure will be presented in this paper.

the present study focuses on the performance of precast concrete beam-column dowel connections subjected to cyclic loading by conducting experiments. in this study, one-third scale model of two types of precast and a monolithic beam-column connection were cast and tested under reverse cyclic loading. the precast connections considered for this study is a beam-column connection where beam is con...

Abstract: Reduced Beam Section (RBS) and Drilled Beam Section (DBS) are seismic moment resistant frame connections, introduced after 1994 Northridge earthquake. RBS connection has been tested under cyclic loading and showed acceptable performance. In this paper, seismic behavior of Drilled Beam Section (DBS) connection is studied numerically using finite element method. A drilled beam section ...

Slotted-waveguide antenna arrays find wide applications in communication and radar systems that require narrow beam or shaped-beam radiation patterns, especially when high power, light weight, limited scanned areas are priorities. Placement of slots waveguide plays a crucial role for shaping side lobes with desired values. An iterative procedure calculating the placements slot positions slotted...

a new multiple c- slotted microstrip patch antenna is proposed.  a patch antenna is a wide-beam narrowband antenna. microstrip patch antenna consist of a very thin metallic strip (patch) placed a small fraction of a wavelength above a ground plane. the patch can be designed in any possible shape and normally made by conducting material copper or gold. this paper presents design of a c- slotted ...

In the last two decades, high-rise timber buildings have been built using glulam truss system, even with limited openings. Moment-resisting frames (MRTF) semi-rigid beam-to-column connections can be an architecture-friendly way to provide a load-carrying system vertical and horizontal loads for buildings. these structures, of adequate ductility are crucial ensure robustness energy dissipation. ...

moment-resisting frames have extensive usage in earthquake-prone areas and high ability in energy dissipation.after the earthquake in northridge 1994,kobe 1995 fixed connections of steel structures have shown poor performance and generally they were caught brittle fracture of beam flange weld to the column.in order to remedy to avoid similar situations in future earthquakes,researchers introduc...
