The invisible umbrella

air_umbrella_01.jpg

You won’t find any delicate nylon material to rip, or flimsy metal rods that’ll break… in fact, no canopy at all! Instead, this innovative design uses air flow to protect the user from rain. Call the Air Umbrella, it creates an invisible shield with multidirectional air-jets that dispel raindrops and keep the user dry. Though it looks high-tech, it’s actually quite simple. Better yet, it might just be available sooner than you think.

  1. Hygroscopic motor technology! Model used to walk around with a 2-edged air knife, so that’s her usual personal space give or take the pressure reservoir.

    Typhoon microweather is in! No energy needed after the first 70kW to put the ‘umbrella’ up. Patented wind pattern schema permits rainwater collection [Arizona test team showing off their calves.] In airports and boutiques for 2015.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
