This paper presents a modal-expansion analysis of the electromagnetically coupled coaxial dipole antenna. The analysis of the antenna problem is initially simplified using the even-odd mode excitation and then the resultant half structure is divided into two parts; one is the characterization of a coaxial feeding network and the other is the modeling of a sleeve monopole antenna driven by a coa...

PURPOSE To evaluate the risk of pneumothorax during CT-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of lung nodules with single needle and coaxial needle techniques and to assess the effect on diagnostic accuracy of immediate cytological examination of lung FNA samples. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study analysed 53 patients undergoing transthoracic FNA biopsy of lung. 36 cases were performe...

In order to develop new-typed multifunctional nanocomposites, fluorescent-electrical-magnetic trifunctional coaxial nanoribbons with tunable fluorescent color, including white-light emission, have been successfully fabricated via coaxial electrospinning technology. Each stripe of coaxial nanoribbon is composed of a Fe3O4/PMMA core and a [Eu(BA)3phen+Dy(BA)3phen]/PANI/PMMA (PMMA = polymethyl met...

The standardization work has been successfully achieved under the leadership of CableLabs, with the successful launch of DOCSIS 1.0 and 1.1 products, and the finalization of the DOCSIS 2.0 [1] specification. Definition of an interoperable Voice over IP architecture covering signaling, provisioning, security has been achieved [2], allowing MSO to deploy data and voice access systems on an econom...

Polyolefins have been widely used in the electrical insulation and cable industry in recent years. One of the main usages of these materials is dielectric insulation in coaxial cables. Low attenuation and high signal transmission speed are among the desired features in coaxial cables. The role of polyethylene foam on signal transmission speed in the coaxial cables is the main focus of this stud...

In this paper, we describe waveguide properties of new optical waveguides made of noble metals and filled with glass and air. Such waveguides are coaxial cables and differ from a conventional coaxial in the shape of their central rods. Coaxial waveguide with annular and elliptic central rods are considered. Numerical simulations demonstrate that these waveguides, having nanosize cross-section, ...

Interactional aerodynamics has been studied for counter-rotating coaxial rotors in hover. The effects of torque balancing on the performance of coaxial-rotor systems have been investigated. The three-dimensional unsteady Navier-Stokes equations are solved on overset grids using high-order accurate schemes, dual-time stepping, and a hybrid turbulence model. Computational results for an experimen...

We theoretically investigate three-dimensional plasmonic waveguide-cavity structures, built by side-coupling stub resonators that consist of plasmonic coaxial waveguides of finite length, to a plasmonic coaxial waveguide. The resonators are terminated either in a short or an open circuit. We show that the properties of these waveguide-cavity systems can be accurately described using a single-mo...

A novel type of flexible [Fe3O4/PANI/PMMA]@{[Eu(BA)3phen + Tb(BA)3phen]/PMMA} (PMMA = polymethyl methacrylate, BA = benzoic acid, phen = phenanthroline, PANI = polyaniline) belt-shaped coaxial microcable possessing electrical conductivity, magnetism and color-tunable photoluminescence has been successfully fabricated by electrospinning technology using a specially designed coaxial spinneret. Ev...
