Title: Radionavigation digital bearing measuring device
IPC: G01S1/48
Filed: 1972-08-10
Abstract: 1388408 Radio navigation INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ELECTRIC CORP 10 Aug 1972 [13 Aug 1971] 37289/72  Relates to a digital receiver affording bearing measurement from at remote phase beacon transmitting angular reference signals together with a complex rotating signal which includes components at frequencies f and nf (e.g. 15 Hz and 135 Hz as in the TACAN system). According to the invention main PP and secondary AP reference pulses are derived, of respective repetition frequencies f, nf; main and secondary "half-reference" pulses HPP, HAP are derived from pulses PP, AP and are equi-spaced between corresponding PP and AP pulses; and the bearing determination utilizes the HPP, HAP pulses to eliminate erroneous bearing determination when the bearing is near to 0 degrees, (360 degrees/n), (2.360 degrees/n) ... 360 degrees. In the embodiment TACAN received and decoded pulses PM produce pulses MP at 135 Hz repetition rate, and a bi-stable 13 produces a digital "1" when the phase of 15 Hz pulses within Œ20 degrees of a gate centred on 0 degrees of 15 Hz phase. AND gate 14 delivers "start" pulses DP, each of which is the closest 135 Hz modulation pulse to zero of the 15 Hz sine wave. The first pulse MP of a 15 Hz cycle is synchronous with pulse DP. Pulses AP, HAP, PP, HPP are produced on respective lines 30, 301, 31, 311 by a system II which incorporates a clock pulse generator 19 operating at 270r, where r is the division ratio of a divider 20, the generator 19 being automatically controlled in frequency by a 135 Hz phase comparator 18. System III includes a "secondary" pulse counter 34, corresponding to twenty degrees of bearing and logic circuits which, together with further logic circuits in system IV control "main" counter (0 to 360 degrees) 47 and register 48. A divider 56 permits calculation of the average value of eight measurements.

A self-aligning bearing, having curved bearing surfaces, provides a mounting for a radial bearing which supports a shaft. The radial bearing may be plain, ball or roller and pressurized fluid may be supplied to the plain bearing and/or to the self-aligning bearing. In an embodiment, a roll-neck (not shown) of a rolling mill is supported in a bearing 25 having passages 43 therein which connect, via restrictors 42, to recesses 41 in an inner member 24 which, along with an outer member 23, form the self-aligning bearing. In use, lubricant supplied through a pipe 49 causes a film to build up between the roll-neck bearing surface and the bearing surfaces of the bushing 25 and of a pad 29, the latter supporting the shaft when it is stationary. When the shaft is rotating and is loaded radially, the lubricant is forced through the passages 43 and the restrictors 42 so as to create a lubricant film between bearing surfaces 36, 37 of the self-aligning bearing members 23, 24. In modifications, the self-aligning bearing is supplied directly with pressurized lubricant and the passages 43 are omitted; the radial bearing is a roller bearing; pressurized lubricant is supplied which builds up between the bearing surfaces of the roll-neck and of the supporting pad, seals are provided to prevent the pressurized lubricant from entering the roller bearing, which is lubricated separately.
