unreferenced date December 2008 An umbrella antenna is a top loaded electrical lengthening electrically lengthened monopole antenna, consisting in most cases of a mast fed against ground, to which six or more wires are connected at the top, sloping downwards. The outer end of each wire is terminated by an insulator, usually placed at about one third the total height to isolate the lower support wire or rope which is anchored to the ground. Umbrella antennas radiate vertically polarised ground waves, which are in common use on frequencies below 1.6 MHz for AM broadcasting and communications. Typical mast heights are less than 1 40 wavelength to 1 10 wavelength depending on the requirement. The added umbrella wires improve the current distribution on the vertical mast, thus increasing the radiation resistance, and they also increase the antenna capacitance and hence the bandwidth. Umbrella antennas with heights of 15 to 350 metres are in service. The umbrella name was given because the antenna looks like an umbrella without the cloth. The function of the umbrella wires can be performed in part or in full by guy wires for the central mast, but in most cases, for antennas which are short in comparison to the radiated wavelength , additional umbrella wires are required. It is also possible to build an umbrella antenna with a grounded tower. Such an antenna requires a separate feeder to the umbrella wires, which are also insulated against the mast and the ground. Umbrella antennas are used as single mast antennas and are in common use for commercial medium wave AM transmissions as well as for LF and VLF transmissions. They were used at most OMEGA Navigation System transmitters, operating around 10 kHz, and at LORAN C stations, operating at 100 kHz with central masts approximately 200 meters tall.

Umbrella insurance refers to a Liability insurance liability insurance policy that protects the assets and future income of the policyholder above and beyond the standard limits on their primary policies. It is distinguished from excess insurance in that excess coverage goes into effect only when all underlying policies are totally exhausted, while umbrella is able to drop down to fill coverage gaps in underlying policies. ref Powerine Oil Co., Inc. v. Superior Court , 37 Cal. 4th 377 2005 . ref Therefore, an umbrella policy can become the primary policy on the risk in certain situations. The term umbrella refers to how the policy shields the insured s assets more broadly than primary coverage. Typically, an umbrella policy is pure liability coverage over and above the coverage afforded by the regular policy, and is sold in increments of one million dollars. The term umbrella is used because it covers liability claims from all policies underneath it, such as vehicle insurance auto insurance and home insurance homeowners insurance policies. For example, if the insured carries an auto insurance policy with liability limits of 500,000 and a homeowners insurance policy with a limit of 300,000, then with a million dollar umbrella, the insured s limits become in effect, 1,500,000 on an auto liability claim and 1,300,000 on a homeowners liability claim. Umbrella insurance provides broad insurance beyond traditional home and auto. It provides additional liability coverage above the limits of homeowner s, auto, and boat insurance policies. It can also provide coverage for claims that may be excluded by the primary policies.

An umbrella effect is the protection extended by the presence of an umbrella species to other species in the same habitat . The umbrella species is often either a flagship species whose Conservation biology conservation benefits other species ref Sherman, 2002, 280. ref or a keystone species which may be targeted for conservation due to its impact on an ecosystem . More generally, an umbrella species determines the area over which conservation occurs. They are often representative of other species in their habitat, being an easily observable and known species. A good example of an umbrella species and its impact is summed up by Kimberly Andrews, a University of Georgia doctoral student at the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory blockquote Protecting a species like the Canebrake Rattlesnake canebrake has practical applications, as protection measures would have broad natural environment environmental value because of an umbrella effect. That is, protecting the rattlesnakes would ensure protection of other wildlife species that use the same habitats but are less sensitive to overdevelopment development or require fewer resources . ref Gibbons, 2007. ref blockquote The concept of an umbrella species is further utilized to create wildlife corridor s or habitat corridor s with what are termed focal species. These focal species are chosen for a number of reasons and fall into several types, generally measured by their potential for an umbrella effect. By carefully choosing species based on this criteria, a linked or networked habitat can be created from single species corridors. ref Northern Arizona University Majka, 2007 . ref These criteria are determined with the assistance of Geographic Information System geographic information systems on the larger scale.
