IPC: F41J9/10
Filed: 1998-10-22
Abstract: The present invention relates to an air-borne target system. The use of aerial targets in
weapons training situations is well known. Targets towed by aircraft or self-propelled
targets simulate the characteristics against which anti-aircraft shells and missiles
might be used. Those characteristics might include shape or thermal signatures. Gas
or petroleum powered burners have been used to heat a mesh or solid surface which
gives the required thermal signature. However, the use of a burner also provides a
visual indicator. Whilst not causing any problems for daylight training missions,
during night-time operations, often a person training in the use of anti-aircraft
weaponry inadvertently follows the visual signature rather than the thermal signature.
This clearly reduces the effectiveness of the training in simulating battle conditions
where there may be no visual indication as to a target's location. The present
invention addresses this problem by providing an aerial target including an
electrically-powered heater unit.

Abstract: A wireless communication system is configured to allow for the provisioning of
partitioned telecommunication service to subscribers. A wireless switch (202) contains a
partition table which associates a service provider with each wireless terminal which has
the switch as its home switch. When providing telecommunication services to a
subscriber using a wireless terminal, the switch provides such services using resources
associated with the service provider associated with the subscriber. In one embodiment,
such a resource may be a subscriber profile database such that multiple service providers
maintain separate subscriber profile databases connected to the switch. The switch, upon
determining the service provider associated with a subscriber requesting service, will
retrieve the subscriber's profile from the subscriber database associated with the identified
service provider. The switch then provides services in accordance with the retrieved
profile.

IPC: G03F7/20
Filed: 1998-09-03
Abstract: Instead of a single beam (10), two coherent beams (10' and 10") of light
are used to illuminate a phase grating in spatially separated zones for
writing a Bragg reflection grating in an underlying optical (fibre) waveguide
(12). Close proximity between phase grating and waveguide is not
required. This facilitates the use of masking so that only two different
diffracted orders (10'c and 10"a) contribute to the fringe pattern that
generates the Bragg grating, thereby improving fringe contrast and
reducing the deleterious spectral effects upon the reflectivity of the Bragg
reflector occasioned by the presence of stitch errors in the phase grating.

oscilloscope. In the electro-optic sampling oscilloscope, a timing signal
which serves as the optical pulse generating timing is produced by the
timing circuit (11), and based on this signal, a sampling optical pulse is
generated by an optical pulse generating circuit (12). Subsequently, the
optical amplification of the sample optical pulse generated by optical pulse
generating circuit (12) is conducted by optical amplifier circuit (13). An
optical filter (14) is provided in order to block the propagation of
spontaneously emitted light from the optical amplifier circuit (13), and an
optical switch (15) is provided which controls the ON and OFF state of the
amplified light, and based on the timing signal from timing circuit (11), the
ON and OFF operation of the optical switch (15) is driven so as to be
synchronized with optical pulse generating circuit (12) by optical switch
drive circuit (16), which conducts the drive and control of the ON and OFF
state of optical switch (15).

Title: Tampon de re-ordonnancement oriente ligne pour microprocesseur superscalaire
Inventor: TRAN THANG M
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 1998-01-28
Abstract: Un tampon de ré-ordonnancement orienté ligne est structuré en une multitude de lignes de stockage dotées chacune d'une capacité de stockage suffisante pour des résultats issus d'un nombre maximum prédéfini d'instructions susceptibles d'être distribuées simultanément. Une ligne de stockage est attribuée chaque fois qu'une ou plusieurs instructions sont distribuées. Un microprocesseur utilisant un tel tampon de ré-ordonnancement comporte également des positions d'émission symétriques et fixes. La nature symétrique de ces positions d'émission peut accroître le nombre moyen d'instructions susceptibles d'être distribuées simultanément et exécutées par le microprocesseur. Le nombre moyen d'emplacements non utilisés sur la ligne décroît lorsque le nombre moyen d'instructions distribuées simultanément augmente. Une mise en oeuvre particulière du tampon de ré-ordonnancement consiste en un fichier futur. Un tel fichier futur comporte un emplacement de stockage correspondant à chaque registre du microprocesseur. Le descripteur du tampon de ré-ordonnancement (ou résultat d'instruction, si l'instruction a été exécutée) associé à la dernière instruction, dans l'ordre du programme, modifiant le registre est stocké dans le fichier futur. Le tampon de ré-ordonnancement délivre la valeur (soit le descripteur du tampon de ré-ordonnancement soit le résultat d'instruction) stockée au niveau de l'emplacement de stockage correspondant à un registre lorsque ce registre est utilisé en tant qu'opérande source pour une autre instruction. Un autre avantage du fichier futur pour microprocesseurs qui permettent l'accès à des parties de registres, ainsi que leur mise à jour, tient à ce que des dépendances étroites-à-large sont résolues lors de l'exécution de l'instruction qui met à jour le registre le plus étroit.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a ballast for a high intensity discharge lamp which detects the onset of acoustic resonance instability by detecting an asymmetry in a signal which is otherwise symmetric in the absence of such instability. The AC supply ripple voltage, which is normally present in the lamp current, exhibits symmetry in the absence of acoustic resonance, and becomes substantially asymmetric at the onset of acoustic resonance. By measuring the duration of each half cycle in the ripple voltage, an asymmetry in the ripple voltage can be easily and rapidly detected, and the operating frequency of the lamp current is changed before the resonance produces visually apparent flicker.

Abstract: A thermally responsive expansion valve (10') having an inlet (14') and outlet (16) disposed at right
angles in a body (12') having a valving passage (18) communicating between the inlet (14') and outlet (16) with
a valve seat (20) and a valve obturator (36) moveable with respect to the valve seat (20) for controlling
flow through the valving passage (18). A fluid filled capsule (22) attached to the valve body (12') has a
diaphragm (28) moveable in response to changes in pressure in the fluid capsule (22) which is
intended for connection to a remote fluid filled sensing bulb through a capillary tube (34). A
one piece operating member (48) has a pad (50) contacting the diaphragm (28) and three integrally
formed legs (52,54,56) each slidably received in a bore (44,46) in the body. A capped spring (40) biases the
obturator (36) against the valve seat (20) and upon movement of the diaphragm (28) and pad (50), the legs (52,54,56)
are operable to act against the cap (38) and overcome the spring bias to permit the obturator (36) to
move away from the valve seat (20). A spring retainer (42) is pre-positioned in the inlet to provide a
predetermined bias of the spring (40) and thus calibration after assembly is eliminated.
