Patent EP-0277772-B1 (EP)
IPC: G01S13/58
Filed: 1988-01-28
Granted: 1993-08-18
Abstract: A muzzle velocity chronograph method and apparatus is described for measuring the velocity of a projectile (11) from a gun (13). In this method and apparatus a conventional radar Doppler signal from a radar device (15) is sampled and digitized by an analog-to-digital converter (23) and arranged in a succession of groups, each group representing a separate time period. A fast-Fourier transform is them computed for each group of samples by a signal processor (27) and peaks frequency measurements in the transformed data are tracked from one time period to the next. These peaks indicate the velocities of the projectile of interest and any other nearby moving objects. Finally, a least mean square error curve fit and standard regression algorithm are used to deduce the projectile's initial, muzzle velocity and the results displayed on a display (31). The method and apparatus provides accurate muzzle velocity determinaltions even in circumstances where the Doppler signal contains substantial interference caused, for example, by random noise and the presence of moving fragments in the direction of the projectile.

Abstract: A prepayment utility metering method and apparatus which uses encoded mag-stripe cards to transfer purchase information from the utility billing office to the customer's premises. The mag-stripe cards are read at the customer's premises by a microprocessor-controlled utility metering and control device which meters the utilities according to the amount purchased at the utility billing office. The value information encoded on the mag-stripe cards is comprised of the amount of the purchase coded in terms of number of shaft revolutions of the metering disk, a rate schedule for metering the value of the utilities consumed, and a special sequential password containing an encrypted combination of the consumer's account number, the consumer's site identification, and the sequence number of the current purchase. This encoding scheme for prepayment of utilities provides an effective and economical method of distributing utilities that prevents fraud and tampering. The present invention also includes a method and apparatus for providing an emergency credit to utility consumers when the prepurchased amount is exhausted. An emergency mag-stripe card is used to credit the user's account with a purchased amount of utilities adequate to tide the consumer over until the billing office opens on the next business day. The emergency mag-stripe card cannot be used more than once, and the credit amount in the meter must be replenished by a new purchase of utilities before the emergency card can be used again.

Granted: 1994-06-08
Abstract: A vacuum held crawler capable of substantially reducing frictional resistance between a wall (H) of a building and the crawler, thus increasing the efficiency and reducing the power required for driving the crawler. A flexible seal member (5) is arranged so as to surround a recess of a vacuum chamber (4) and vertically project by a suitable length from the bottom of the vacuum chamber. A low friction member (6) is mounted on the distal end of the seal member. The seal member and low friction member have thin walls. Such construction permits the flexible seal member to be in close contact by means of the low friction member with the wall while being held on the wall by the low friction member by suction, thereby preventing the bottom of the vacuum chamber from coming into contact with the wall.

Title: Totalizer apparatus for flow rate measurement devices
IPC: G01D18/00
Filed: 1990-08-17
Granted: 1992-12-16
Abstract: A totalizer apparatus, for use with belt scales and other flow rate measuring devices producing output signals subject to zero drift, maintains an auxiliary totalizer register during zeroing operations so that should zero flow conditions be interrupted during such an operation, a correct total can still be maintained. This enables autozeroing operations to be implemented, for which purpose a further auxiliary totalizer is used to test for an extended absence of flow before permitting initiation of an autozeroing operation. If a zeroing operation results in an apparently excessive zero correction, it is rejected and assumed that flow has restarted during the operation; the first auxiliary totalizer register is used to update a primary register.
