Title: Letter plate with shear resisting torsion spring
Inventor: HAIGH NIGEL
IPC: A47G29/126
Filed: 2005-08-19
Abstract: A letter plate comprises a casing 10, a torsion spring 21 attached to the casing at a root, and a flap 11 wherein the free end of the spring is attached to the flap, the torsion spring has a greater resistance to shearing forces adjacent the root than the free end. Rotation of the flap relative to the casing twists the spring which causes a restoring force on the flap and can shear the spring. The greater shearing resistance of a portion of the spring is preferably provided by an increased cross-sectional area. This may be provided by the material of the spring, or preferably by a sleeve which extends around the spring. The sleeve 26 may be crimped onto the spring. Preferably the spring is an elongate, circular rod 22. It is preferably connected to the casing via a casing aperture 18, the sleeve may also extend through the aperture. The flap preferably includes a sleeve that receives the free end of the spring. In use, shearing of the spring through over-rotation is prevented.

Title: Compact radar range emulating far field radar by using weighting factors to provide constant magnitude flat field across target zone
Inventor: MORGAN DOUGLAS P
IPC: G01R29/08
Filed: 2006-03-16
Abstract: Systems and methods enable numerically creating a flat field in a compact radar range (10) with a curved reflector (20), and without use of a separate phased array of elements, at frequencies lower than those that are possible with currently known, reflector-only compact radar ranges. A compact radar range (10) is calibrated to enable weighting factors to be computed. The weighting factors may be computed by performing an optimization algorithm. The weighting factors are used to weight separate target signals sequentially returned from a target zone (12) such that, when combined, a numerically composite measurement has a substantially constant magnitude across the target zone (12). The compact radar range emulates far field radar conditions. (Radar ranges also referred to as radar cross section (RCS) test facilities).
