Patent EP-0859243-A1 (EP)
Inventor: GERBER PETER
IPC: G01S17/74
Filed: 1997-11-27
Abstract: The laser identification system has at least one laser device (1) e.g. carried on a weapon of a soldier to identify at least one target device e.g. a belt device (6) worn by another soldier. The laser device is formed to output a coded laser beam. The target device has a sensor arrangement (61,62,63) to detect this laser beam and to convert it into electric signals. The electric signals are fed to a discriminator. The target device also has a transmitter arrangement which, after identifying decisions made in the discriminator, sends messages back to a receiver arranged inside or outside the laser device. The laser device is adapted to transmit a bundled laser beam. It contains chopping means to transmit a laser beam which is not only encoded but is also chopped with a predetermined frequency. The sensor arrangement (61) of the target device has an arrangement to recover an alternating electric signal from the received chopped laser beam. The alternating signal is fed to a pre-amplifier which is connected to the input of the discriminator.

copolymer resin comprising a rubbery polymeric substrate and a rigid polymeric
superstrate. A preferred graft copolymer resin is acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene
copolymer resin. Preferred compositions have increased temperature, range

Abstract: The cardboard packaging has an adhesive fastening band (8) which has two adjacent longitudinal protectors (6,7) on its adhesive surface. The first protector (6) is stuck on the packaging flap (5) and the second protector can be lifted to allow fastening of the package by sticking the adhesive band onto the packaging top. The first protector is stuck on the flap by means of a glue (9) located on the band parallel to the flap free edge. The fastening band is longer than the flap which carries it and extends beyond the flap free edge. The first protector prevents sticking of the band corners so that these can be gripped easily for opening the package.

Abstract: The navigational system, device and method of the present
invention provide navigational information to the user
derived from data signals received from a plurality of
transmitters (20,22,24,26). The range to each of the
plurality of transmitters (20,22,24,26) is then computed
based upon the corresponding data signal received from
the transmitters, and a current position relative to each
of said plurality of transmitters is then determined.
Geographical data relating to at least the current
location of the user module 32 is stored in a memory 40,
and selected geographical data relating to the current
location of the user module 32 is retrieved from the
memory 40 to provide an audio or video display 44. The
computed route between the current position of the user
module 32 and each of a plurality of way-points is then
transmitted to a control processor which compares the
determined route with routes received from other user
modules and predicts traffic conditions for transmission
back to the user module so that the route may be altered
accordingly.

Abstract: The multiplexer has an optical switch (K) coupled to an add-drop module (Mpk) which contains the input and output couplings for each multiplexed wavelength (Ep). A rejection filter (Fpk) for each module is tuned to at least one of the wavelengths of the multiplexer channels. The switch has a drop output (S) and a drop input (Qpk) coupled to each drop port and an add output (Tpk) coupled to each add port. The switch can selectively couple for each module a drop input to an add output and/or the drop output. In addition, a drop input of one module can be connected to an add output of another module. An add input (Rpk) may be coupled to an add output or to the drop output.

IPC: E06B9/36
Filed: 1997-02-26
Abstract: The improved system utilizes a track (51) which has a bowed
internal surface to prevent the wheel of the carrier (17) from frictional
engagement with the side of the track (51). The curved surface (55) which
faces the wheels (27) will not be engaged by the wheels (27) even where
the carrier (17) turns to one side or the other. This is accomplished while
leaving the innermost portions of the raceway (53) in the same width
position with regard to the wheels (27) as is usual to prevent the carrier
(17) from coming off-track. The tolerances for the inner corners of the
raceway (53) opposing the wheels (27) may be reduced to further prevent
the possibility of jamming in the track (51).

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for manufacturing a needle attached suture and an apparatus therefor. A needle attached suture is obtained by inserting a suture into an insertion hole formed in the end of a needle N which is held by a needle retaining unit 16 and by swaging the end of the needle with the suture. The method and the apparatus have been developed to accurately position the end of the needle for swaging with the suture to stabilize the swaging strength between the suture and the needle. Before the swaging, the needle is held by the needle retaining unit 16, and the end of the needle N is pushed to a certain position by a rod 99 or its equivalent. Thereby, the end of the needle N relative to the needle retaining unit 16 is accurately positioned.

IPC: H05K7/20
Filed: 1997-03-06
Abstract: A method for providing thermal protection for forced air cooled power electronic semiconductors without direct measurement of semiconductor temperature, the semiconductors being mounted on a heat sink over which cooling air is blown includes the steps of computing the cooling air mass flow rate, creating an electronic model of the semiconductor/heat sink combination and estimating the semiconductor junction temperature from the mass flow rate and model. The cooling mass flow rate is determined by measuring the temperature of the cooling air prior to passage over the heat sink, measuring atmospheric pressure of the cooling air, determining the volumetric air flow rate of the cooling air and computing, from the cooling air temperature, pressure and volumetric flow rate, the cooling air mass flow rate. Power dissipation in the semiconductors is then commuted and heat sink and semiconductor temperatures are estimated from power dissipation and cooling air mass flow rate. Semiconductor power dissipation is limited so as to restrict semiconductor temperature to a safe operating value.

Abstract: A three-dimensional piston molding is fabricated from a mixture of chopped, carbon tow filaments of variable length, which are prepregged with carbonaceous organic resins and/or pitches and molded by conventional molding processes into near net shape, to form a carbon-fiber reinforced organic-matrix composite part. Continuous reinforcement in the form of carbon-carbon composite tapes or pieces of fabric can be also laid in the mold before or during the charging of the mold with the chopped-fiber mixture, to enhance the strength in the crown (21) and wrist-pin areas (23). The modled chopped-fiber reinforced organic-matrix composite parts are then pyrolyzed in an inert atmosphere, to convert the organic matrix materials to carbon. These pyrolyzed parts are then densified by reimpregnation with resins or pitches, which are subsequently carbonized. Densification is also accomplished by direct infiltration with carbon by vapor deposition processes. Once the desired density has been achieved, the piston molds are machined to final piston dimensions, and piston ring grooves are added. To prevent oxidation and/or to seal the piston surface or near surface, the chopped-fiber piston (20) is coated with ceramic and/or metallic sealants; and/or coated with a catalyst.
