A Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA) comprising a radiating element, a ground plane located below the radiating element; a through hole located at a position corresponding to the radiating element, a power feeding connector pin at a position corresponding to the radiating element; a through hole at a position corresponding to the radiating element; a conductive shorting post (pin) located at a position corresponding to the radiating element; a right side vertical plane formed along the edge of the radiating element; a left side vertical plane formed along the other edge of the radiating element; a lower horizontal plane formed by bending the left side vertical plane; a slot on the radiating element; and a dielectric block located in the area between the lower horizontal plane and the ground.

Design of single and multi-band PIFA

A single vend newspaper vending machine includes a machine housing and a newspaper elevator system mounted in the machine housing, the newspaper elevator system including a slide track mounted in the machine housing. The newspaper elevator system further a fixed toothed rack, a movable toothed rack and a newspaper support trolley movably mounted on the slide track. First and second clutch-equipped gear wheels are included, the first clutch-equipped gear wheel operative to engage the fixed toothed rack and restrict downward movement of the trolley, the second clutch-equipped gear wheel operative to engage the vertically movable toothed rack. Upwards movement of the vertically movable toothed rack causes the newspaper support trolley to be moved upwardly therewith. A newspaper thickness sensing device is operative to determine the thickness of the topmost paper. A newspaper pusher device is operative to engage the topmost paper on the newspaper stack supported on the newspaper support trolley and slide the topmost newspaper off of the newspaper stack through an access opening. Finally, a newspaper pusher and movable toothed rack actuation system is operatively connected to the newspaper pusher device and the movable toothed rack such that engagement of the actuation system first actuates the newspaper pusher device to remove the topmost paper from the newspaper stack and secondly raises the movable toothed rack a distance determined by the thickness of the topmost paper, thereby raising the newspaper support trolley such that the penultimate newspaper is positioned where the vended topmost newspaper was previously.

A microstrip antenna comprising a substrate, a radiating element constructed on the top surface of the substrate, a ground plane on the bottom surface of the substrate, a through hole at a position corresponding to the radiating element of the substrate, and a power feeding conductor at a position corresponding to the radiating element on the substrate.
