An antenna array includes: an electrically conductive member having an electrically conductive surface in which a plurality of slots are open; a plurality of electrically-conductive ridge pairs on the electrically conductive surface, each pair protruding from edges of the central portion of a corresponding one of the plurality of slots. As viewed along a direction that the central portion of each slot extends, at least a portion of the first gap between the first ridge pair and at least a portion of the second gap between the second ridge pair overlap each other, with no other intervening electrically-conductive member therebetween; or at least a portion of the first ridge pair and at least a portion of the second ridge pair overlap each other, with no other intervening electrically-conductive member therebetween.

Antenna array

A motor includes a fixed shaft, a first rotor supported by the fixed shaft in a rotatable manner relative to the fixed shaft, a first stator fixed to the fixed shaft and applying rotation torque that rotates the first rotor toward one side in a circumferential direction of the fixed shaft, a second rotor provided at a position different from a position of the first rotor in an axial direction in a rotatable manner relative to the fixed shaft, and a second stator fixed to the fixed shaft and applying rotation torque that rotates the second rotor toward another side in a circumferential direction of the fixed shaft.

Motor and propeller thrust generating device

A directional coupler includes: a first waffle-iron ridge waveguide extending from one end to other end; a second waffle-iron ridge waveguide extending from one end to the other end; a first bypass waveguide connecting a first site of the first waffle-iron ridge waveguide and a first site of the second waffle-iron ridge waveguide; and a second bypass waveguide connecting a second site of the first waffle-iron ridge waveguide and a second site of the second waffle-iron ridge waveguide.

Directional coupler

A slot array antenna includes: a first electrically conductive member having a first electrically conductive surface; a second electrically conductive member having a second electrically conductive surface opposed to the first electrically conductive surface; a waveguide member located between the first and second electrically conductive members; and an artificial magnetic conductor extending on both sides of the waveguide member in between the first and second electrically conductive members. The first or second electrically conductive member has a plurality of slots. The waveguide member includes an electrically-conductive waveguide face of a stripe shape opposed to the first electrically conductive surface. The plurality of slots include at least two slots that couple to the waveguide face. In between two positions respectively coupled to the two slots, the waveguide face includes at least one deflecting portion at which the direction that the waveguide face extends changes.

Under a reduced-pressure environment, stopping at will liquid that flows out from a nozzle tip, or dispensing liquid with the level of energy at which it will not splatter has proven difficult. To address such difficulties, parameters including nozzle bore, and surface tension and viscosity of, and delivery pressure on, a liquid are selected so that the surface tension that acts on the liquid when flowing out from the nozzle tip will be greater than the momentum of the liquid. By dispensing liquid under such conditions, outflow of the liquid is reliably controlled, and rapid infusion work is realized.
