An active thermal switch assembly according to aspects described herein may include a hot plate, a cold plate, and an actuator. The actuator may cause the hot plate and the cold plate to come into mechanical contact, thereby achieving a closed state for the active thermal switch and facilitating conductive heat transfer between the two plates. Convective/radiative heat transfer may have little effect as compared to conductive heat transfer (e.g., as may be the case in environments having reduced or no atmospheric pressure), such that operating the actuator to introduce a gap between the hot plate and the cold plate (thus achieving an “open” state) substantially reduces conductive heat transfer between the hot and cold plates accordingly. Controlling the separation distance between the hot plate and cold plate may also be used as a method to modulate the thermal radiation between the two surfaces.

The disclosure relates to suppressing surface waves in a communication device for a wireless communication system. The communication device includes a dielectric layer extending along a plane between a chassis and a glass layer, an antenna element configured to emit a radio wave, and a retroreflective structure extending inside the dielectric layer and being located adjacent to the antenna element, and where the retroreflective structure is configured to reflect the radio wave in an angle non-parallel to the plane. The retroreflective structure hence prevents parasitic channeling of the antenna energy into surface waves in and behind the glass layer and directs the radiation into the desired direction.

Methods and devices are provided for fabricating and employing patient immobilization devices during radiation treatment procedures. Immobilization devices are provided that include a thin conformal shell configured to conform to an anatomical region of a patient that is to be exposed to radiation during a radiation treatment procedure, with a rigid lattice structure extending outwardly, in an external, beam-facing direction, from the conformal shell. The rigid lattice structure confers structural rigidity to the device, and the thin cellular regions mitigate the impact of the device on a surface dose delivered to the patient or subject. The present mechanical-metamaterial-based immobilization devices incorporate structural features that confer advantageous mechanical properties and radiation transmissive properties when compared with conventional solid or mesh-based immobilization devices used in radiation therapy.
