A simple design for circularly-polarized (CP) annular slot antennas is first described. The antenna is fed by a V-shaped coupling strip loaded with a small resistance, and it can generate CP radiation as long as the inclined angle of the V-shaped coupling strip is properly adjusted. Numerical analyses to the effects of varying the angle on CP axial ratio are performed. Several CP prototypes are fabricated. Both simulated and measured results demonstrate that the proposed feeding mechanism can give good CP performances for the case that the slot width is varied from 0.008 to 0.09 λ λ λ λ 0 . Then, a design for polarization reconfigurable antennas is developed from the feeding mechanism. Only two PIN diodes are involved in the reconfigurable design that can offer the switching among three different polarizations, including one linear polarization and dual orthogonal circular polarizations. Details of the designs and experimental results are shown.

The errors which affect the processing tolerance of a machine tool are due to the built-in volumetric errors in the machine tool structure and also the thermal displacement of the machine tools during its cutting. In this paper, a dualdisplacement meter compensation system is developed. The new model has a better tolerance control than the singledisplacement compensation meter method; also, it has a great potential for saving a machine's warm-up time as well as enhancing productivity. A dual-displacement meter is designed to detect the variation of spindle thermal growth and a differential amplifier is applied which ensure a precise output signal tolerance of spindle thermal growth. The unstable signal which is an effect of flatness tolerance of spindle surface is then omitted. Finally, the spindle thermal growth compensations are successfully reduced. It meets the requirement of high-speed machining and high-precision machining application.
