Internal wideband metal-plate antenna for laptop application

Abstract

Induction therapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) usually consists of 7 days of cytarabine at 100–200 mg/m2/day and an anthracycline. Such combinations produce complete response (CR) rates of 60–80% in patients with de novo AML. On the basis of a previous report, suggesting a higher CR rate using a regimen of standard daunomycin and cytarabine followed by 3 days of high‐dose cytarabine (HDAC), 101 eligible patients received this regimen in a phase II trial. Sixty patients [59%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 49–69%] achieved a CR, and 10 patients died of infection during induction. Although cytogenetic risk group affected overall survival (P = 0.0016) and relapse‐free survival (P = 0.0043), it had no impact on CR rate (P = 0.63). Patients received postremission therapy with repetitive courses of alternate day high‐dose cytarabine; this was associated with considerable toxicity and the majority of patients could not receive all of the scheduled postremission therapy. The estimated median survival was 23 months (95% CI 15–34 months), and the estimated probability of surviving 5 years was 34% (95% CI 24–43%). The results of this intensive induction regimen were similar to that seen in previous trials and were not as promising as reported in the previous pilot study. Am. J.

High‐gain, short‐circuited six‐monopole‐antenna system for concurrent, dual‐band WLAN access points

“…However, the 1‐mm‐wide shorting portion will be too narrow to be practical in mass production. Notice that the vertical style of the short circuiting allows the monopole antenna to gain more polarization purity, compared with the horizontal style of the short circuiting [13], and is beneficial to antenna gain. The dimensions of the monopole antennas were attained by means of a rigorous analysis with the aid of the electromagnetic simulator, and the process was long and laborious before reaching near optimal values.…”

A simple structured planar wire antenna for wireless communication applications

“…The second portion can be used for WiMAX applications at frequency 5.25---5.85 GHz [2-4, 9, 11-15]. Both the first and second band can also be applicable for IEEE 802.16e standard mobile broadband wireless access applications [16,17,18]. The 6.538---6.617 GHz third band with bandwidth 79 MHz can be used by associated wireless communications.…”

Flat‐plate triangular monopole antenna for Wi‐Fi/WiMAX/DVB‐H applications

“…Such antennas should therefore operate effectively not only over the Wi-Fi frequency bands of 2.4 -2.5 GHz and 5.15-5.875 GHz and WiMAX frequency bands of 2.3-2.4 GHz, 2.5-2.7 GHZ, and 3.4 -3.6 GHz, but also over the DVB-H frequency band of 0.47-0.87 GHz. Although quite a few multiband antennas for portable Wi-Fi/WiMAX applications have been proposed [1][2][3][4], none of the laptop monopole antennas for TV reception that have been suggested over the last couple of year [5][6][7] was designed to encompass Wi-Fi/WiMAX applications as well. The antennas in [5] are both for DVB-H (0.47-0.87 GHz) operation.…”
