A carrier structure apparatus for mounting conformal antenna elements to a non-planar mounting surface as part of an antenna array of an airborne vehicle or ground-based system also comprising a seeker section, fairing and guidance processing system. The carrier structure is a rigid and conductive apparatus that is made to conform to the geometric configuration of both the antenna element as well as the mounting surface. The conformal antenna is rigidly mounted to the carrier structure, which is in turn removably affixed to the non-planar mounting surface. With the carrier structure, each antenna element of the array may be individually tested and replaced prior to and after installation in array.

Antenna array apparatus with conformal mounting structure

A multi-functional apparatus employs an intermittent motion mechanism. An electromagnetic device selectively causes movement of the intermittent motion mechanism thereby moving a mechanical device coupled thereto. In another aspect of the present invention, a single electric motor selectively actuates two or three intermittent rotary motion mechanisms thereby causing separate mechanical devices coupled thereto to operate within an automotive vehicle.

Multi-functional apparatus employing an intermittent motion mechanism

A multi-functional automotive vehicle apparatus comprising: a rotatable member; an electromagnetic device operable to selectively rotate said rotatable member; a first motion transmitting member selectively moved in response to rotation of said rotatable member; and a second motion transmitting member selectively moved in response to rotation of said rotatable member.

Multi-functional vehicle apparatus

A multi-functional apparatus employs a power transmission mechanism for generating intermittent motion having a specific range of motion and angular velocity profile for selectively actuating a mechanical device operably coupled to the power transmission mechanism. An electromagnetic device selectively causes movement of the power transmission mechanism. In another aspect of the present invention, a single electric motor selectively actuates a plurality of intermittent rotary motion mechanisms thereby causing separate mechanical devices coupled thereto to operate within an automotive vehicle.
