Objective: To investigate and compare the slot sizes and parallelism of metal injection molding (MIM) and computerized numerical control (CNC) brackets. Methods: The following four MIM bracket series with 0.022-inch (in) slots were selected for investigation: Di MIM mini Twin (Ortho Organizers), Mini Diamond Roth (Ormco), Gemini MBT (3M Unitek), and Formula R Roth (Tomy). The following four CNC bracket series with 0.022-in slots were selected for investigation: Econoline MBT (Adenta), Legend mini MBT (GC Orthodontics), Crown mini MBT (Adenta), and Evolve MBT (DB Orthodontics). The slot dimensions were measured using an optical microscope (XTCam-D310M; Mitutoyo) with a resolution of 1 ㎛. The results were statistically analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and the Tukey post-hoc test with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The results indicated that all the investigated slot sizes were oversized with respect to the manufacturers' specifications (0.022 in). Among the eight bracket series, the Di MIM bracket (MIM) was the most oversized by 10.4%, whereas the Evolve bracket (CNC) was the least oversized by 2.6%. The slots in seven of the bracket series had divergent walls instead of parallel ones. The Evolve bracket alone had parallel slot walls. Conclusions: Regardless of the manufacturing method, all the slot sizes of the brackets investigated in this study were significantly oversized; most of the slot walls were nonparallel, except for those of the Evolve bracket. This study could not establish that the CNC method was more accurate than the MIM method in manufacturing bracket slots.

This paper present the characteristics of radiation pattern of microstrip slot antenna on the ground plane fed by microstrip line. It is proposed for resonance frequency at 10 GHz. We will analysis two shape of slot antenna; double L-shape slot antenna and U-shape slot antenna. In this case, we will compare far-field radiation pattern of two shape slot antenna. Far-field radiation pattern of double L-shape slot antenna is bi-directional nevertheless U-shape slot antenna is uni-directional. The microstrip slot antenna is propose to analyze far-field radiation pattern for use in the wireless communication systems

Passive control of the shock wave/turbulent boundary-layer interaction utilizing slotted plates and a porous plate over a cavity has been carried out. Effect of various slot configurations on the characteristics of the interaction has been observed. Pitot/wall surface pressure distributions and flow visualizations including Schlieren images, kerosene-lampblack tracings and interference fringe patterns over a thin oil-film have been obtained at the downstream of the shock interactions. For the streamwise-slot configuration, a local higher pitot pressure was noticed at the downstream of the interaction as compared with the case of no control, however, not much improvement in pitot pressure was observed for the spanwise-slot configuration.

In this letter, a modified 802.11-based opportunistic spectrum access is proposed for single-channel cognitive radio networks where primary users operate on a slot-by-slot basis. In our opportunistic spectrum access, control frames are used to reduce the slot-boundary impact and achieve channel reservation to improve throughput of secondary users. An absorbing Markov chain model is used to analyze the throughput of secondary users. Simulation results show that the analysis accurately predicts the saturation throughput.

Passive control of the shock wave/turbulent boundary-layer interaction control utilizing slotted plates over a cavity has been carried out. Effect of various slot configurations on the characteristics of the interactions are tested. Pitot/wall surface pressure distributions and flow visualizations including Schlierens and interference fringe patterns over a thin oil-film have been obtained at the downstream of the shock interactions. It was found that the interaction control by a certain slot-configuration could lead a reduction of the total pressure loss through the shock wave, however, the boundary layer thickness became thicker as compared with the case of no control.

This paper presents the dual resonance PIFA(Planar Inverted F-Antenna) which satisfies the requirements of the 802.11n standard at both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. Patch for 2.4 GHz and U-Type slot for 5 GHz were used for dual resonance, respectively. In this paper, the characteristics of an antenna were investigated by varying locations of short plate and feed point, the width of the short plate, the thickness and the location of U-Type slot. To investigate the characteristics of the PIFA, HFSS(High Frequency Structure Simulation) for the simulation was used. And the measurement results of a fabricated PIFA were compared with the simulated ones. The measurement and simulation results show that good dual resonance characteristics as the thickness of U-type slot decreases and when the location of U-type slot is far from the feed point.

To describe the performance of an antenna, some parameters are necessary. Some of the parameters are interrelate and not all of them must be specified for complete description of antenna performance. The parameters in characteristics of printed antenna for this analysis are radiation pattern, input impedance, VSWR, S parameter and electromagnetic field. In this paper we will consider two shaped of slot antennas one is triangular slot antenna and other is L - shape slot antenna for compare the radiation pattern, return loss, and VSWR. Two slot antennas are designed to have a resonant frequency at 10 GHz. The microstrip line is designed to be 50 ohms in order to match the measurement system, it has the substrate of the thickness = 1.52 mm and dielectric constant (${\varepsilon}_r$) 2.17. The problem space in the FDTD analysis are $60{\times}123{\times}100$ cells for L-shape slot antenna and $50{\times}171{\times}120$ cells for triangular slot antenna with the cell dimensions ${\Delta}x=0.152\;mm.$, ${\Delta}y={\Delta}z=0.15\;mm.$

In this paper, we improve the matching impedance of antennas by inserting parasitic slots on the ground plane of right-angle triangular slot antennas. The designed antennas characteristics are analyzed by using Finite Different Time Domain (FDTD) method, the specific design frequency is 10 GHz and match impedance is 50 ohms. Simulation results show that the efficient of return loss and radiation patterns are improved and enhance. In this case, the right-angle triangular slot antennas with parasitic slots have matching impedance better than antennas without parasitic slots.

A perfect matching is the desire of antenna designers. In this paper, we improve the matching of antenna designing. In general, the efficiency of antennas has many improvements. In this paper, we choose to extend matching by adding the slots in the basic microstrip-fed rectangular slot antenna. We called it as "parasitic slots". The dominant characteristic of this addition is double efficient improvement matching and other characteristics of antenna are similar. It means that the microstrip-fed rectangular slot antenna with parasitic slots has all characteristics as same as the microstrip-fed rectangular slot antenna without parasitic slots. The antenna with parasitic slots has better matching better than the antenna without parasitic slots.

In this paper, a frequency reconfigurable slot antenna which has a bandwidth-enhanced characteristic is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of two parts; the wide slot and the narrow slot, to increase the bandwidth of the antenna and have the frequency reconfigurable characteristic. The wide slot has triangular shape and makes the bandwidth increased, and the narrow slot can mount PIN diodes. By changing on/off state of PIN diodes, the total length of the slot is changed. From this characteristic, the proposed antenna can finally control the center frequency and minimize variation of the impedance matching.
