In one of many possible embodiments, a system includes a media content provider subsystem providing media content over a closed media network and a closed media network access device communicatively coupled to the media content provider subsystem by the closed media network. The growth habit is vigorous and bushy. The resonator-forming conductor layers of the first type and the second type are reversed in relative positions of the short-circuited end and the open-circuited end, and are alternately arranged in the stacking direction of the dielectric layers. The first cavity is adjacent to the first section and includes a first sidewall of optical transmission material with an inner surface that tapers inward to an apex positioned adjacent to the first section. Such an approach is suitable for use in applications that require transmissions with a specified quality of service. These fibers may be formed into a flexible fabric or textile.
