Title: Object detection method and apparatus employing electro-optics
IPC: G01S7/481
Filed: 1987-02-19
Granted: 1993-08-04
Abstract: Apparatus for detecting the presence of an object within an area under surveillance employs an electro-optical emitter for directing light into the area and an electro-optical receiver for sensing light reflected from the object which originates from the emitter. The emitter emits light energy of a preselected wavelength and is modulated at a preselected frequency to provide the emanating light energy with a characteristic signature. Light reflected by an object within the area under surveillance is filtered and converted to an electrical signal which varies in accordance with the magnitude of the filtered light having the preselected wavelength and modulation frequency. A selected portion of the electrical signal is amplified by a band-pass amplifier and is synchronously sampled in accordance with the modulation frequency to determine the magnitude of the filtered light which originated from the emitter. The sampled signal is compared with a threshold value to determine whether an object is present within the area under surveillance. The emitter and receiver are covered by a transparent shield to protect them against foreign matter. An electro-optical detector monitors the accumulation of foreign particulates on the shield. The apparatus may be desirably used in vehicles to detect the presence of adjacent objects, particularly within the vehicle's "blind spots" and thereby avoid collisions.

Abstract: An inflatable medical balloon is formed by fabricating a tubular preform having a tapered region at the end of the portion where the main body of the balloon will form to enable the corresponding transition section of the blown balloon to have a separately controllable thickness profile. The preferred method includes providing a tube of a selected resin of wall thickness and diameter suitable for being formed into a balloon, and selectively heating to drawing temperature a defined region of the tube at one or both ends of the portion of the tube from which the balloon is to be formed. Tension is applied in opposite directions to respective ends of the heated region to draw the region to a smaller diameter, thereby providing a preform having, at the end of the portion of the tube, a tapered, relatively small diameter region of material that has substantially no crystallization or molecular orientation. In preferred embodiments a tapered region is provided at both ends of the portion in which the main body of the balloon is to be formed. Thereafter the tubular preform is heated to blowing temperature and, while heated, a balloon is formed by drawing and blowing the preform including the tapered regions. The balloon is mounted to form a balloon catheter device. A dilatation balloon catheter, is also described having wall thickness in the transition region less than 0.001 inch.

Abstract: An automatic transmission for a vehicle which automatically carries out transmission control in relation to the running of the vehicle. In addition to an operation lever (111, 112) such as a select lever, a hold switch (180) is provided for informing an automatic transmission controller (130) of the need for a hold operation to automatically hold the currently selected gear position (speed step) of the transmission (160). The hold operation is executed by the controller depending upon the operation of the hold switch. When the forward-reverse switching is effected after the hold switch is operated, furthermore, the transmission at the time of start is once switched (shifted) to the second speed step forcibly. As the desired speed step that is held is reached accompanying the rise of the vehicle speed, this speed step is automatically held as a result of the hold operation. Therefore, even vehicles for construction machinery such as wheel loaders are permitted to execute the operation efficiently and smoothly.

Abstract: A technique for modifying an input rotation in continuously variable increments to produce a controlled rotational output is disclosed herein. This technique combines epicyclic motion of a series of planetary shafts in a parallel fashion in order to produce continuous, controlled, intermediate output in the same direction and at the same speed or a greater speed than the input rotation. This intermediate output is then modified to produce a continuous, controlled, final rotational output only when the intermediate output is greater in speed than the input. The final output can be in the same direction as the rotational input and at a speed which is proportionate to the excess speed of intermediate output.
