What is claimed is:
1. A cosmetic applicator for applying substantially solid cosmetic material comprising:
a container defining at least one cavity to receive the cosmetic material and including an aperture disposed adjacent a distal end portion thereof in communication with the at least one cavity, said container further including a transparent portion to determine the amount of the cosmetic material remaining within the cosmetic applicator.
2. The cosmetic applicator of claim 1 further including a cosmetic moving member for extracting and retracting the cosmetic material from andor within the aperture.
3. The cosmetic applicator of claim 1 wherein at least a distal portion of the container is formed from transparent material.
4. A cosmetic applicator for applying substantially solid cosmetic material, comprising:
a base defining at least one cavity to receive at least a portion of the cosmetic material; and
a distal member connected to the base and defining a longitudinal cavity to receive at least a portion of the cosmetic material, the distal member including an aperture disposed adjacent a distal end portion thereof in communication with the longitudinal cavity;
wherein the distal member further including a transparent portion to determine the amount of the cosmetic material remaining within the cosmetic applicator.
5. The cosmetic applicator of claim 4 further including a cosmetic moving mechanism for extracting and retracting the cosmetic material from andor within the aperture.
6. The cosmetic applicator of claim 5 wherein the cosmetic moving mechanism includes a cosmetic sliding mechanism disposed adjacent the base.
7. The cosmetic applicator of claim 5 wherein the cosmetic moving mechanism includes a spiral feed mechanism disposed adjacent the base.
8. The cosmetic applicator of claim 4 wherein the distal member is formed from transparent material to determine the amount of the cosmetic material remaining within the cosmetic applicator.
9. The cosmetic applicator of claim 4 wherein at least a distal portion of the distal member is formed from transparent material.
10. The cosmetic applicator of claim 4 wherein the cosmetic applicator has a pen-like shape.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. An ortho-mode transducer comprising:
a cylindrical common waveguide terminating in a common port;
a generally rectangular vertical branch waveguide in-line with the cylindrical common waveguide, the vertical branch waveguide terminating in a vertical port opposed to the common port, the vertical branch waveguide configured to couple a first linearly polarized mode from the vertical port to the common waveguide, a portion of the vertical branch waveguide overlapping a portion of the cylindrical common waveguide;
a septum spanning a long dimension of the vertical branch waveguide proximate to the overlapping portions of the vertical branch waveguide and the common waveguide;
a generally rectangular horizontal branch waveguide normal to the common waveguide and the vertical branch waveguide, the horizontal branch waveguide terminating in a horizontal port, the horizontal branch waveguide configured to couple a second linearly polarized mode from the horizontal port to the common waveguide, the second linearly polarized mode orthogonal to the first linearly polarized mode; and
a generally rectangular symmetry cavity opposed to the horizontal branch waveguide.
2. The ortho-mode transducer of claim 1, wherein the horizontal branch waveguide comprises:
a first horizontal branch waveguide segment terminating in the horizontal port;
a third horizontal branch waveguide segment coupled to the common waveguide; and

a cross-sectional shape of the third horizontal branch waveguide segment is contained within a cross-sectional shape of the second horizontal branch waveguide segment, and
the cross-sectional shape of the second horizontal branch waveguide segment is contained within a cross-sectional shape of the first horizontal branch waveguide segment.
4. The ortho-mode transducer of claim 3, wherein one or more of the first, second, and third horizontal branch waveguide segments is a ridged waveguide.
5. The ortho-mode transducer of claim 1, wherein the symmetry cavity comprises:
a first symmetry waveguide segment terminating in a symmetry port;
a second symmetry waveguide segment coupled between the first symmetry waveguide segment and the common waveguide; and
a shorting plate closing the symmetry port.
6. The ortho-mode transducer of claim 5, wherein
a cross-sectional shape of the second symmetry waveguide segment is contained within a cross-sectional shape of the first symmetry waveguide segment.
7. The ortho-mode transducer of claim 2, wherein one or both of the first and second symmetry waveguide segments is a ridged waveguide.
