In this paper, a new method is suggested to improve the frequency responses of dual-mode waveguide-filters that employ cross-shaped slots. In accordance with this method, regarding one cross-shaped slot between two cavities, the horizontal(vertical) mode in one cavity can be designed to influence far less the vertical(horizontal) mode in cavity. Therefore, it improves the overall performances. A 4th-order dual-mode filter is taken as an example and it validates the method.

This letter presents a reconfigurable ground-slotted patch antenna using a PIN diode connection in slots to achieve dual-frequency operation. Slots in the ground plane increase the electrical length and thereby reduce antenna size by 53%. By controlling PIN diode conduction, we achieved band hopping while still satisfying the bandwidth requirements for K-PCS and WiBro bands.

In this paper, the analysis and design of a spirally slotted array antenna with high efficiency are presented. Electric fields in the slots are calculated by electromagnetic fields in the upper waveguide and radiation field equations are derived. Slots are arrayed spirally on the upper circular plate of twofold radial waveguide. In order to suppress grating lobes from the array, a slow wave structure is inserted in the upper waveguide. This antenna is characterized by a good circular polarization, high efficiency of 75 percent and grating lobes below -34dB.

This paper presents a method for automatic part feature recognition from the database of AutoCAD system for automatic process planning input. The parts considered in this study are primastic parts composed of faces perpendicular to the X, Y, Z axes and the types of features considered are through steps, blind steps, through slots, blind slots, and pockets. Features are recognized by using the concept of convex points and concave points. The software program is coded by using Turbo Pascal on the IBM PC/AT.

A printed Tee-type monopole antenna loaded by a pair of L-type slots is studied. The effects of position, width, and length of loaded slots on frequency bandwidth of the antenna are examined. As an examples, a compact dual band monopole antenna is designed for the ISM band $[2.4\sim2.48GHz,\;5.15\sim5.35GHz,\;and\;5.725\sim5.85GHz]$ use and the characteristics of the constructed antenna are studied experimentally.

In order to find better performance of heat sink, in this research, different cases were analysed by changing number of slots and shape of fins. Round shape fins which have wide surface showed 24% better heat transfer rate than vertical fins. There were not big discrepancies between 1 slot and 2 slots fins. Consequently, for better performance of heat sink, developments for widening surface and better material for high heat transfer rate are needed.

This paper describes the design, fabrication, and measurement of a compact hexa-band coupling antenna for 4G mobile handset using a small element with two slots. In order to obtain sufficient bandwidth (LTE700, GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS) with a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio $(VSWR){\leq}3:1$, two slots are inserted in the small element, and coupling patch is used. The measured result of the fabricated antenna provides 410MHz bandwidth form 0.688 to 1.098GHz and 643 MHz bandwidth form 1.607 to 2.250GHz (${\leq}VSWR 3:1$) with the gain ranging from -0.52 to 4.68 dBi. Also, a good radiation pattern is achieved within the hexa-band (0.698-0.960GHz and 1.710-2.170GHz) range.

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.

In this paper, we propose a novel tag collection algorithm to improve tag collection performance in active RFID systems. In the proposed algorithm, the reader detects the occurrence of empty slots and collided slots through the identified slot scan process and reduces the time wasted by empty slots and collided slots, resulting in improvement of tag collection performance. To evaluate the performance improvement by the proposed tag collection algorithm via the experiments in a real-world environment, we implemented an active RFID reader and tags. The experimental results with the reader and 60 tags showed that the proposed algorithm could reduce the average tag collection time by 21.7% and improve the average identification throughput by 28.3%, compared with the standard tag collection algorithm in ISO/IEC 18000-7. In addition, the proposed algorithm reduced the average battery consumption on tags by 22.7% in the battery consumption experiment with 20 tags.

A new WDM-based protocol for scheduling a variable-length message is proposed in this paper. Two control slots, Pre-reservation slot and Reservation Slot, are used to coordinate transmission and diminish the collisions of packet to minimize the access delay. When there is an idle reservation slot, a control packet is transmitted on that slot and message is transferred. And the node continues to transmit its control packet through the corresponding slot every cycle, until the message is completely transmitted. If an idle reservation slot is not available, the node schedules the transmission time of message in earliest available time using Pre-reservation slots. The proposed scheduling protocol has several advantages; any new node can join the network anytime without network re-initialization. Moreover, with the pre-reservation slots, we can avoid the packet collisions and destination conflicts, and we can improve the access delay time for message transmissions.
