Patent EP-0780665-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WARTMANN GERD
IPC: G01F23/296
Filed: 1996-12-19
Abstract: The present invention provides a processor apparatus for processing a time domain reflectometry (TDR) signal having a plurality of reflection pulses to generate a valid output result corresponding to a process variable in a vessel and a method for a process measurement signal. One method includes the use of at least two different techniques for detecting a valid reflection pulse generated by the process variable to calculate an independant result using each of the at least two techniques, and applying a wheighted factor to the independant results from each of the at least two different techniques to provide weighted results. Another method includes establishing an initial boundary signal before the process variable is located in the vessel, storing the initial boundary signal, detecting the TDR signal, determining a baseline signal by subtracting the initial boundary signal from the TDR signal, determining a maximum value of the reflection pulse and calculating an output result based on the maximum value.

Abstract: A fuzing system in a guided missile (12) generates a detonation signal for a warhead (14) carried by the missile (12). The missile (12) has a seeker/tracker (20) to track and direct the missile (12) towards a target (16). The seeker/tracker produces a signal representative of the angular deviation (LOS) between the target (16) and the missile (12), and a signal (RM) representative of a range between the target (16) and the missile (12). In response to these signals, a guidance/fuzing computer (26) produces a time-to-go signal, t go  where t go , relates to the range between the missile and the target divided by the rate of change in such range, such time-to-go signal representing the time remaining before the missile intercepts the target, and a miss distance signal representative of a predicted distance, normal to the line of sight (30), at the time the remaining before the missile intercepts the target. A fragment velocity signal is provided representative of the velocity of fragments of the warhead, and the computer (26) produces the detonation signal in response to the miss distance signal and the fragment velocity signal.

Abstract: A packet data transmission system is used to link a number of remote hand-held data-gathering units such as bar code readers to a central computer which maintains a database management system. Data packets are sent from the remote units by an RF link to intermediate base stations, then sent by the base stations to the central computer by a serial link. Direct sequence spread spectrum modulation is used for the RF link. The remote hand-held units initiate an exchange using RF transmission to and from the base stations, receiving only during a rigid time window following a transmission from the remote unit. The base stations cannot initiate communication to the remote units, but instead send data to the remote units only as part of the exchange.

a exciting electrode and dummy electrode, a very small gap
is provided between the divided electrodes, and the
electrodes are electrically insulated from each other, the
thickness vibration is not generally reflected, and
vibrating energies due to the thickness vibrations are
substantially trapped into the projections provided on the

Abstract: The front of the rifle has a folding support hinged at the front of the stock to steady the weapon when used in the prone position. The front of the stock has a longitudinal bore to hold a swivel post (11) attached to the head (10) of the stand mounting. This allows the stand to swivel to either side and allows the two legs to be splayed.   The legs are linked to the head by jointed connectors and covered with elastic to prevent injury. The swivel movement of the post is limited by a cross bar (13) loosely fitted into a slot (14) across the post. This also prevents the stand from being pulled out of the stock.

Abstract: Disclosed are a semiconductor light emitting element
whose temperature characteristics are compensated for so
as to provide a stable temperature characteristics in a
temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, and an optical fiber
transmission system using the same semiconductor light
emitting element. In the semiconductor light emitting
element, an active layer (2) is buried on an n-type InP
semiconductor substrate (1) formed with an n-side electrode
(21). The upper layers (4, 5) are covered with an insulating
film (22). A p-side electrode (20) is formed on the
uppermost layer of the semiconductor substrate so as to
cover the insulating film (22). A relatively large
metallic resistance element (30) whose resistance increases
with increasing temperature is wired on the insulating film
(22) as a shunt path, so as to compensate for the temperature
characteristics of the semiconductor light emitting
element. Therefore, since leakage current is large at a
low temperature, the threshold current is high, so that the
slope efficiency is small. On the other hand, since
leakage current is reduced at a high temperature, a rise
in the threshold current and a drop of the slope efficiency
can be both compensated for.

Abstract: The invention is a repeater for a telecommunications transmission
system such as a CDMA wireless system. The repeater reduces leakage by means of
a feedback signal (on 30,31,32,33) whose amplitude and phase are adjusted (in 31) in
response to the amplitude and phase of a sampled input signal (from 35) when a
switch (24) turns off the normal output of the repeater for a short period of time. In
one embodiment, a pilot signal (from 40) is transmitted during this time period so
that the sampled input is the leakage signal. In another embodiment, the sampled
input is the normal transmission signal received during the time period.
