Title: Closed-loop infrared countermeasure system using high frame rate infrared receiver
Inventor: BROWN DANNY E
IPC: G01S3/786
Filed: 1999-03-20
Abstract: An object tracking system that detects the presence of the missile, a countermeasure processor 30 receives a signal from a missile warning system 14 and characterises the missile to prioritise a trajectory signal, a track processor receives the trajectory signal and generates a pointer signal. A receiver 50 has a single focal plane array which operates at a first and second frame rates, said first rate tracking the missile over a large portion of said array to determine trajectory and said second frame rate observing the missile over a small portion of said array to receive said active signature and is steered by the pointer. The countermeasure processor directs a laser at the missile to determine its operational parameters and receive an active missile signature. The track processor updates the pointer signal and the countermeasure processor generates a jam code delivered by the laser to divert the missile.

Title: Maintenance of sliding window aggregated state using combination of soft state and explicit release principles
Inventor: KARAGIANNIS GEORGIOS
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2002-02-21
Abstract: A method is provided for reserving, maintaining and releasing resources in the interior nodes located within an interior network positioned between edge nodes, wherein requests belonging to corresponding data microflows that continually arrive at any interior node do not establish any microflow reservation states, but these requests can establish, maintain and release either a part of, or an entire aggregated reservation state, using a combination of reservation soft state and explicit release principles. A window is applied to establish a first time period, which includes a selected cell in a sequence of time cells and also includes a number of additional cells preceding the selected cell. Arrival of reserve and refresh requests during the selected cell is detected to generate an rfcount associated with the selected cell. The rfcount is combined with a lastsum associated with the preceding cells to form a newsum, which is used to manage resources in the interior network during a reservation period corresponding to the selected cell. Following the selected cell, the window is shifted to establish a second time period which includes the next cell in the sequence, and excludes the oldest cell of the first time period.

Title: Seismic exploration using interferometric techniques
Inventor: MELDAHL PAUL
IPC: H01H9/00
Filed: 2005-08-15
Abstract: A method and apparatus for seismic exploration which comprises generating a seismic event, applying the seismic event to the earth's surface and detecting a response to the event, including P-waves and S-waves in the earth's surface, using an interferometer, in which there is relative motion between the surface and the interferometer. The detecting step comprises monitoring movements of particles at the earth's surface over a predetermined time after the seismic event. The relative motion has a total velocity which includes a transversal component and a longitudinal component. An array of detectors is arranged on the interferometer in a line extending generally in the transversal direction, the detectors being arranged to detect light rays with different angular directions, representing different sensitivity directions. A reference beam is combined with a reflected object beam from the surface to produce a cross interference in the speckle pattern providing information about the relative motion of the surface and the interferometer. The temporal change in which of the detectors has zero or minimum sensitivity to the total velocity is monitored.
