Granted: 2004-02-19
Abstract: A vibrating structure gyroscope comprises a resonant body, a drive transducer for driving resonant motion of the body, a pick-off for producing signals representative of the resonant motion, and a signal processor for extracting z-axis orientation information and x- and y-axis rate information from the signals. The resonant body is planar and the resonant motion takes place in a vibration mode pattern whose orientation angle with respect to the body varies in accordance with z-axis orientation of the body and couples energy into an out-of-plane response mode motion in accordance with rotation of the body about the x- or y-axis. The signal processor resolves the out-of-plane response mode motion with reference to a z-axis orientation signal to extract the x- and y-axis rate information.

Filed: 1995-05-31
Granted: 1998-08-27
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/CA95/00325 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 5, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 5, 1997 PCT Filed May 31, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/33215 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 7, 1995A radio range finding system includes a radio range finder and a plurality of remote mobile transponders. The radio range finder transmits a signal modulated with an address code identifying a particular mobile transponder. When a mobile transponder receives the modulated signal Ms transmitted by the radio range finder and the modulated signal has been modulated with an address code that corresponds to the address assigned to that mobile transponder, the mobile transponder transponds a return signal Rs to the radio range finder. A receiver in the radio range finder conveys the received signal to a mixer which also receives an internal carrier signal identical to the modulated signal output by transmitter. The output of the mixer is then filtered and demodulated to yield an output signal proportional to the distance between the mobile transponder and the radio range finder.

Date Nov. 20, 1997The conical clamping set (100) serves, for example, to connect a shaft (1) with a hub (3) and is arranged in the radial clearance (5) between the cylindrical outer-circumference surface (2) of the shaft (1) and the cylindrical inner-circumference surface (4) of the hub (3). It includes inner conical rings (11, 12) with a cylindrical inner-circumference surface and a conical outer-circumference surface (8', 8''), as well as a thin-walled external conical ring (10, 18', 18'') with conical, inner-circumference surfaces (7', 7'') fitting onto the outer-circumference surfaces (8', 8'') of the inner conical ring (11, 2) and a cylindrical outer-circumference surface (6) intended for application on the inner-circumference surface (4) of the hub (3). Axial clamping screws (19) are distributed over the circumference; the conical rings (11, 12) can be axially pulled against each other by tightening the clamping screws. Because of a radial stepping down (24) or circumference slot, the axial extension of the zone (21) of the cylindrical outer-circumference surface (6) of the external conical ring (10), in which the radial clamping forces are transferred to the inner circumference of the recess (4) of the hub (3), is smaller than the axial extension of the zone (35), in which the radial clamping forces act against the outer circumference (2) of the shaft (1), so the surface pressure on the surfaces (4, 6) is increased.

Title: Progressive scan television receiver with adaptive memory addressing
Inventor: MAZE KENNETH WAYNE
IPC: H04N9/89
Filed: 1985-06-21
Granted: 1988-06-23
Abstract: A video input signal (S2) is stored in a memory (24) and read twice during a line-interval to provide a processed video output signal having a doubled line rate (2FH) for display on a display device (18) having a doubled horizontal sweep rate (2FH) thereby providing a progressively scanned image having reduced visibility of line structure. The last address written in memory is used to control the starting time of the second memory read operation. This reduces the tendency of visible artifacts to occur in cases where the video input signal is "non-standard" in the sense that the ratio of the color subcarrier frequency with respect to the line rate is such that there may not be a fixed number of color subcarrier cycles per line.
