In an active radar augmentation system a microwave switch is connected been the receiving antenna and the amplifier. When there is an RF input signal to the receiving antenna of the augmentation system, a square wave timing signal provided to the microwave switch is adjusted to have the microwave switch in an open state during a time period when the coupling or feedback signal from the transmitting antenna of the augmentation system is received by the receiving antenna.

The present invention relates to the process of preparing tertiarybutylbis-(dimethylamino)phosphine, ((CH.sub.3).sub.3 C) ((CH.sub.3).sub.2 N).sub.2 P, and its use in chemical vapor deposition processes to produce phosphorus-containing semiconductor materials.

An antenna arrangement for a submerged submarine includes an independently functioning underwater vehicle free of any tethered connection to said submarine, a buoy member having a hydrodynamic shape, an antenna mounted on the buoy member, the antenna enabling collection and transmission of at least global positioning data and radio frequency communications, a releasable connector for securing the buoy member to said underwater vehicle in a primary non-deployed position, and a tether connection the buoy member to the underwater vehicle in a secondary deployed position.

In the past, micromachines have been manufactured with planar technology associated with integrated circuitry. For example, a gas sensor may be constructed on a semiconductor chip and integrated with the controlling electronics thereon. A vibrating member being sensitive to a gas is constructed by applying a pattern to a substrate and removing the exposed material leaving the vibrating member over a void which was caused by the removal. The restriction of micromachines to planar substrates prevents greater application of these micromachines to other areas of technology.

A method for automatically planning and managing the performance of a communications network comprising a propagation forecasting step where propagation forecast algorithms form a propagation forecast from weather inputs and a traffic forecasting step where traffic forecast algorithms form a traffic forecast from traffic data inputs and a network planning step where planning algorithms display an automated network model.

A magneto-inductive submarine communication system and buoy provide two-way signal communications between a submerged craft, such as a submarine and remote command station that may be airborne, on the surface, or on land. A buoy released from the submarine and floating on the surface of the ocean and a satellite is included to complete the bidirectional communications.

A polymer system having repeating units of the formula: ##STR1## wherein A is --H or --OH, x has a value of 0.5 to 1.0 and y has a value of 1.0-x, exhibits a high glass transition temperature (T(g)) and a low dielectric constant. The polymer system is useful in the area of microelectronic packaging.

A tridirectional inverter is disclosed which converts power from the single source into two different widely types of power outputs. This conversion s done by utilizing a magnetic element, i.e., a transformer, alternatively as a filter and as a voltage changing transformer. The function that the magnetic element provides is accomplished by selecting the frequency of the signal that is applied to the magnetic element.

In an umbrella top-loaded monopole (UTLM) antenna, the charge distribution n top-load radials increases approximately linearly from the top of the antenna because the activated top-load wires are separating from the tower and each other at the same time they are getting closer to ground.
