Patent GB-2138922-A (GB)
Title: A cross coupling for a coupling drive shaft
Inventor: LINDENTHAL HANS
IPC: F16D1/06
Filed: 1984-04-11
Abstract: Across coupling for a coupling drive shaft with a high load-bearing capacity, comprises a coupling fork which consists of two halves 3, 4 and is connected via teeth 9 or the like to an adjacent hub part 10 by means of shrink-fitted clamping elements 12, 13. The advantage of this design lies in the fact that the bearing eye of the coupling fork half can remain undivided and therefore form-rigid, and the installation of a journal cross with a large journal diameter and roller bearings with a high load-bearing capacity is possible without difficulty. The join between the fork halves lies in the zone subjected to the least stress. By this means the cross coupling is endowed with a higher load-bearing capacity for the same diameter of rotation, and assembly is simple.

Title: Wide-base direction finder
Inventor: MOODY MILES
IPC: G01S1/50
Filed: 1984-06-22
Abstract: In a wide-base direction finder, equally spaced elements (1) of a circular antenna array are grouped in pairs. These element pairs are divided into at least two groups in such a way that all straight lines connecting the elements of the element pairs of a group are parallel to each other, and that the straight lines connecting the element pairs of one of the groups (I/VIII, II/VII, III/VI, IV/V) are normal to the straight lines connecting the element pairs of the other group (VI/VII V/VIII, I/IV, II/III). The differences in phase between the signals received by the elements of an element pair are measured. The measured values of the two groups are combined, and from the values so produced, the elevation-independent direction of arrival of a signal in the azimuth plane is determined. Evaluation of the all phase differences can take place simultaneously (as shown) or sequentially (Fig. 2). <IMAGE>
