1962] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 261 The radiation pattern is unidirectional, coming off the small end of the antenna (backfire) and is essentially independent of frequency in the design bandwidth. An important feature is the ability of the horizontal elements to alter the active, radiating portion of the antenna. The inventor has indicated that he will not file for a patent; and accordingly, the Patent Committee recommends release of the rights of the University to the sponsoring agency, the United States Navy. 3. Dipole propulsion and accelerator s y s t e m — S h a o Lee Soo, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, inventor. Systems utilizing force on a dielectric or ferroelectric particle or body, or dipole molecule or atom when such a material is placed in a non-uniform electric field. The Patent Committee has heard nothing from the inventor after advising him of the action of September 14 and, therefore, recommends release of the rights of the University to the sponsoring agency, Project S Q U I D of the United States Government. The Committee further recommends that the University's rights in an invention, photo current suppression ionization gauge, by Wilfred C. Schuemann, Electronics Technician II in the Coordinated Science Laboratory, be released to the University of Illinois Foundation for further study and possible patent application. This invention is an ionization gauge, which has been designed to remove the low pressure limitation, due to x-rays, which is found in conventional ionization gauges. I concur. On motion of Mr. Swain, these recommendations were approved. RECESS On motion of Mr. Williamson, the Board recessed.
