Patent EP-2138865-A1 (EP)
IPC: G01S7/491
Filed: 2008-06-25
Abstract: A method for 3D imaging of a scene is disclosed wherein a modulation signal and a first reference signal, which is correlated to said modulation signal, are generated and wherein the modulation signal is used to drive a first illumination unit in order to generate intensity-modulated light, which is emitted onto said scene. The so illuminated scene is then imaged onto a pixel array comprising at least one pixel e.g. by use of an optical system. The method further comprises the detection, in at least one pixel of the pixel array, of intensity-modulated light reflected from the scene onto said pixel, the conversion of said detected light into a corresponding reflected light signal and the subsequent demodulation, for at least one pixel, of said reflected light signal by means of said first reference signal in order to obtain a signal representative of the phase difference between the emitted light and the reflected light detected in the pixel. According to the invention, step of demodulating said reflected light signal comprises the steps of combining said reflected light signal and said first reference signal additively to form a sum of said reflected light signal and said first reference signal and subsequently applying the sum of said reflected light signal and said first reference signal to a functional block having a nonlinear characteristic.

Abstract: A Raman spectroscopy sensor integrated with an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) includes a UGV having a robot arm (425) and a camera (420) mounted on the robot arm. A laser and telescope (450) associated with a Raman sensor are mounted on the robot arm (425) in such a way as to point in substantially the same direction in which the camera is pointed. A Raman spectral data acquisition and control module (464) is mounted on the UGV and is configured to receive Raman spectral data from the telescope. A remote base station (480) having a display (486) and a data processing and analysis module (484) is configured to receive data from the data acquisition and control module and to display for an operator images from the camera and information related to the Raman sensor.

Abstract: A flexible coupling device for providing a flexible or elastic fluid transport between two pipes. The device includes a monolithic structure with an opening arranged for fluid transport. The monolithic structure is formed by a first part for connection to a first orifice of a pipe, a second part for connection to a second orifice of another pipe, and an intermediate part formed so as to provide a flexible interconnection between the first and second parts. The first and second parts are preferably threaded and may have a nut shape in order to allow engagement with a tool for mounting. A sealing material is arranged to seal an inner part of the monolithic structure from contact with the fluid upon fluid transport through the opening in the monolithic structure. The monolithic structure and the sealing material are formed by different polymeric materials, preferably with the sealing material being of a significantly softer polymeric material than the polymeric material used to form the monolithic structure. The intermediate and flexible part may be formed by a helical structure, e.g. including a blocking mechanism arranged to block relative rotation of the first and second parts. The flexible coupling device is suited for flexibly connecting a flow meter with a polymeric housing to piping in order to protect the polymeric housing from damage due to lateral or bending forces.

Abstract: A processor pipeline is segmented into an upper portion - prior to instructions going out of program order - and one or more lower portions beyond the upper portion. The upper pipeline is flushed upon detecting that a branch instruction was mispredicted, minimizing the delay in fetching of instructions from the correct branch target address. The lower pipelines may continue execution until the mispredicted branch instruction confirms, at which time all uncommitted instructions are flushed from the lower pipelines. Existing exception pipeline flushing mechanisms may be utilized, by adding a mispredicted branch identifier, reducing the complexity and hardware cost of flushing the lower pipelines.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur une méthode et un appareil de verrouillage d'une connexion électrique au moyen d'une structure de couplage comprenant les griffes d'un élément mâle (50) et les réceptacles d'un élément femelle (20). L'appareil comporte un mécanisme (40) de serrage tel que des forces qui autrement tendraient à défaire la connexion actionnent le mécanisme de serrage (40) et bloquent la paire accouplée. L'appareil peut se monter dans un boîtier standard ou équiper des dispositifs existants. Dans une exécution, le mécanisme de serrage (40) n'agit que sur la griffe de terre (54) de l'élément mâle standard (50), ce qui rend inutile de considérer les potentiels électriques appliqués à la griffe engagée (54), lors de la conception du mécanisme de serrage (40). De plus, le mouvement de retrait de la griffe (54) de l'élément mâle (50) peut se translater en mouvement tournant d'une partie du mécanisme de serrage (40) qui vient buter sur la griffe engagée (54).
