Abstract: The present invention discloses that it enhances efficiency in detecting the color burst signal under low-power input and enables color display after confirming the presence of the color burst signal even under low-power input. The configuration includes firstly the electric field intensity judgment unit M1 which determines the electric field intensity as normal if the intensity of the inputted video signal is over a predetermined threshold value and as weak if equal to or below the same threshold; secondly the electric field intensity judging unit which, if the electric field is judged weak, starts pulsing from the latter half of the horizontal synchronization signal and generates the first burst gate pulse with the pulse width inclusive of the inserting position of the color burst signal as specified by the broadcasting signal protocol and, if judged normal, generates the second burst gate pulse with the pulse width inclusive of the standard inserting position and being narrower than the first burst gate pulse; and thirdly the burst gate unit which determines whether or not the color burst signal is detected within the extent of the first burst gate pulse or the second burst gate pulse.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for replacing optical elements and a light fixture containing at least one light source for illumination, including a system for fastening and replacing at least one optical element by means of magnetic attachment. It is the purpose of the invention to achieve rapid replacement of optical components in connection with a light fixture. Another purpose is that this replacement may occur without using tools and without the operator interfering with the preload of the fastening. The purpose may be achieved by a light fixture, if the optical element and the light fixture include at least two interacting magnetic interlocking pairs, the interlocking pairs including at least one permanent magnet, where at least the permanent magnet of the interlocking pair is disposed in a magnetically non-conducting material. Hereby it becomes possible for an operator to replace optical components in a very large number of light fixtures rapidly and without risking damage to the components.

Abstract: The present invention provides apparatus and methods for accurate guidance of small munitions to a target. The guidance for the small munition is mainly provided by a device external to the small munition, such as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The UAV may provide external guidance commands by use of a command transmitter to the small munition. The small munition is equipped to receive the guidance commands and consequently use a maneuvering mechanism to react to the guidance commands. The UAV may determine a successful release point of the small munition and track a flight path from a release point toward the target of the small munition using a passive sensor mounted in a gimbaled mount, which is controlled by use of a closed-loop control system. The UAV may be controlled by a ground control device, such as an operator control unit (OCU), to release small munitions.

Abstract: Vegetables, especially carrots, have both ends trimmed by this machine. The machine has an inclined table 10 which forms a track and product guides 26 in the form of troughs are attached to a belt 22 so that the guides travel around the table when the belt is driven around the track. The guides are arranged with their long dimensions extending radially as they travel around the track. Carrots 28 are fed into the trough-like guides at the upper side of the track and slide down the guides until they reach a stationary fence 34. The guides than travel past a blade 36 which cuts off one end. As the guides continue to travel around the track, they change orientation so that the end of each guide which was at the top is then at the bottom, and the carrot slides to the other end of the guide before passing a second blade 42 where the opposite end is cut off. The second blade may be one or a number of parallel blades so that the carrot can be cut into segments of desired length before those segments fall out of the machine at 60 into a collection chamber.
