A Single-Layer Dual-Band Reflectarray Cell for 5G Communication Systems by Sandra Costanzo, Francesca Venneri, Antonio Borgia, Giuseppe Di Massa

“…The proposed configuration allows to achieve very small interelement spacings and negligible mutual coupling effects between the two bands, thus assuring an independent phase-tuning mechanism at both desired frequency bands. The designed compact cell is successfully adopted to demonstrate reflectarrays’ abilities in achieving fixed scanned-beam and/or multibeam patterns, under the dual-band operation mode. …”

INTERROGATING ISLAMIC LAW AND POSITIVE LAW AGAINST COUNTERFEIT PRODUCTS IN THE CONSUMER SOCIETY by Iva Faizah, Zulfa Ahmad Kurniawan

“…The fact that Indonesians are known as consumptive people, driven by a large number of Indonesians, the development of technology that facilitates transaction access, and the emergence of various marketplaces that provide counterfeit products are factors that make it easier for people to get the desired counterfeit product. The ease of getting product with the same quality as the original product but have a minimal price is an advantage for the transaction, but that transaction also brings losses, especially for the owner of patent rights on the trademarks of the products being traded, on the condition that the loss is legally violated and provides criminal penalties and fines for the perpetrators, as well as in the point of view of Islamic law. …”

Numerical Study of High Spectral Efficiency and High-Temperature Energy Harvesting Metamaterial Emitter to Improve Thermophotovoltaic Performance by Sifan Tamiru, Fekadu Tolessa, Birke Alemu, Solomon Tiruneh, Abebe Belay, Gurmu Alemu, T. Gurumurthi

“…The width of the unit cell and the tungsten ground thickness were fixed while other geometric parameters, such as the base length of the pyramid, the height of the pyramid, and the thickness of the dielectric, were tuned to produce the emitter’s desired broadband emission. A high average emissivity over 0.96 below the cutoff wavelength (0.1 μm-2.2 μm) was seen in the numerical simulation. …”
