Abstract: A three-axis physical model is used to numerically compensate for errors in measured magnetic field values in an electronic compass for operation at any orientation. This compensation method generates certain quantities that characterize the magnetic field of the Earth in the vertical plane. These quantities are used to monitor the accuracy of the electronic compass during normal operation by comparing their current values either with values obtained during the calibration procedure or with values obtained from historical averages. Significant departure from the calibration values or from the historical averages indicates a probable loss of accuracy of the compass, and the user is so alerted.

Abstract: A method for joining two or more substrates with a seam is provided. The seam is formed with a thermoplastic tape that is capable of forming an adhesive bond and a physical bond with a substrate. For instance, in one embodiment, the thermoplastic tape is formed from a polyurethane film. In addition, the seam can be utilized in a flat configuration or folded into a variety of different shapes, such as in a z-shaped configuration. As a result of the present invention, it has been discovered that a seam can be formed to have improved strength without substantially sacrificing the desired functional properties of the substrate materials.

Abstract: A foam polymer jacketed rigid strength member for fiber optic cable is disclosed, as is the method for its production. The foam jacket is made by feeding into an extruder a base polymer material, preferably a resin, such as polypropyene. The base material is melted in the extruder and a blowing agent is admixed. As the mixture exits the extruder, the polymer is expanded into a cellular foam. The polymer is foamed onto a rigid strength member by means of a crosshead. The resulting jacketed rigid strength member demonstrated improved resistance to thermal contraction reducing the contribution of stresses in the fiber optic cable components. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of dimensioning the searcher resources in a radio receiver. On one hand, the the multipath delay profile need be updated often enough to track changes in the delay profile. On the other hand, estimating the delay profile takes a lot of capacity with respect to computing and hardware resources, and hence it should be avoided to update the delay profile more often than needed. The aim of the present invention is to avoid updating the delay profile when it is not needed for correcting the correlation of the Rake fingers. The present invention solves the problem by comparing the received signal power with that received when the last power delay profile was made and then make the update of power delay profile if the power has decreased a certain level. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A microwave device for de-icing and keeping areas of hollow body structures free from ice keeps atmospherically exposed leading edges and adjacent areas free of ice by means of a coolant circuit. The surface segments between the adjacent areas are kept free from ice as a result of the effects of a microwave device on the wall of the surface segments and the heating that occurs by the exposure to microwave radiation. A series of consecutive microwave-tight chambers is disposed behind the wall of the exposed area. A microwave source supplies microwaves to the chambers with the aid of a decoupling structure disposed therein, resulting in high/multimode excitation. The waste heat of the microwave sources is collected by means of a coolant circuit and transported to the r areas adjacent the leading edge for permanent heating in order to keep the surfaces free from ice. The microwave sources are cyclically operated.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a braking buffer and a turning balance device for motorcar. The brake buffer device mainly made of a weighty drum with a fixed mass and a recover spring, to fix it on the left and right sides of the body base of a car longitudinally. When the car is braking, the momentum of the sudden push will transfer to the weighting such that will decrease the braking distance and forward pushing of the driver and the persons on the car. The turning balance device is fixed on the rear of the body base under the trunk of a car horizontally, and keep the distance from the axis of the front wheel as long as possible. When the car is turning, the momentum caused by the outward centrifugal force will transfer to the weighting such that turning radius will decrease and the turning will become more balance. These increases stability and safety. <IMAGE>
