Patent GB-2189105-A (GB)
Title: Target detection systems
Inventor: CROSS MALCOLM GEOFFREY
IPC: G01S3/784
Filed: 1978-10-18
Abstract: An infra-red target detection system scans a field of view both vertically and horizontally in order to determine target position in terms of two coordinates. A linear array of infra-red detectors is scanned vertically in swaths and horizontal scanning is effected by sampling the output of each of the detectors in turn, signals representing scans in the two directions being analysed separately. Addresses of target detections in the vertical and horizontal are stored and read out into an X and Y co-ordinate target position store if a detection resulting from scanning in the vertical corresponds to a detection resulting from scanning in the horizontal.

Title: Condenser apparatus
IPC: B01D53/26
Filed: 1979-09-04
Abstract: A gas condenser apparatus is described employing two heat exchanger stages 10 and 12 for condensing water vapour and other containments, such as organic solvents, out of hot air or other treated gas by means of a cooling gas which is provided by feeding back the treated gas through the cooling passages 44 of such heat exchanger stages after removal of the water and solvents. The heat exchangers are of the counterflow type so that the treated gas and the cooling gas flow in opposite directions therethrough. Preferably, water vapour is removed from the treated gas by condensing it in the first stage 10 and the solvents are removed by condensing them in the second stage 12 thereby separating the condensed water and solvents. Auxiliary cooling coils 28, 38 are provided at the input of the first stage and at the output of the second stage for further cooling of the treated gas. A temperature sensor 22 at the output of the first stage controls the input cooling coil 28 in order to maintain the temperature of the treated gas at the output of the first stage above the freezing temperature of water. <IMAGE>
