Abstract: A passive millimeter-wave imaging system (10) is disclosed
that provides a full 360° instantaneous azimuthal field-of-view
(54) image of a scene. The imaging system (10) makes use of a
spherical Luneburg lens (12) and a series of millimeter-wave
direct detection receivers (24) configured in a ring (16)
around the lens (12), and positioned at the focal plane of the
lens (12). The series of receivers (24) are positioned on a
plurality of consecutive sensor cards (14), where each card
(14) includes a certain number of the receivers (24). The
receivers (24) define a one-dimensional focal plane array with
limited obscuration, and thus give a 360° instantaneous field-of-view
(54) of a slice of the scene. Processing circuitry
(32), including a multiplexing array interface for multiplexing
the signals from the receivers (24), are positioned on an outer
ring (34) outside of the sensor card ring (16). Mechanical
actuators (42) are provided to cause the rings (16, 34) to move
together in a precessional motion about the lens (12) so that
the rings (16, 34) precess at a fixed angle Θ about a fixed
reference direction (46), thus providing an elevational scan of
+/- Θ about the plane perpendicular to the reference direction
(46).

Abstract: An apparatus for retaining a cartridge in a removable media disk drive
during drive operation is disclosed. The apparatus has a protuberance at a distal end of a
flexible arm. When a cartridge is pushed into the drive, it engages the protuberance and
flexes it along the edge of the cartridge. The protuberance flexes back when it engages a
cut-out in the side of the cartridge. An opening in a side wall of the disk drive chassis
allows the flexible arm to flex out when the cartridge engages it. The flexible arm is
attached to a sliding lever. As the cartridge is inserted further into the drive, the flexible
arm moves past the opening and thereby locks the cartridge into the drive.

Abstract: A CT scanner includes a stationary gantry (10) defining an examination region (12) and a
rotating gantry (16) which rotates about the examination region. At least two x-ray tubes
(18a, 18b), each capable of producing a beam of radiation directed through the examination
region, are mounted to the rotating gantry. The x-ray tubes are switchably connected to an
electrical power supply (24). X-rays are detected by an arc of x-ray detectors (14) which
generate signals indicative of the radiation received. These signals are processed by a
reconstruction processor (32) into an image representation. A thermal calculator (60)
estimates when an anode in one of the x-ray tubes (18) reaches a selected temperature. The
thermal calculator (60) controls a switch (28) which is electrically connected between the
x-ray tubes and the power supply. The switch selectively switches power from the power
supply alternately to the x-ray tubes. Each time the thermal calculator estimates that the
anode of one of the x-ray tubes has reached selected temperature, that tube is switched off
and the other tube is switched on.
