Abstract: A ranging process is disclosed for point-to-multipoint communication systems having a central station (OLT) and several terminals (ONU) connected to the central station (OLT) by a network, in particular a passive optical network. Each terminal sends a pseudo-noise sequence (ONU-PNS-TX) on a carrier outside the data transmission band, the pseudo-noise sequence is received with a delay (ONU-PNS-RX) by the central station (OLT) and is correlated with a pseudo-noise sequence (OLT-PNS) identically generated in the central station (OLT). The two-way delay to the terminal (ONU) is determined from the extreme value of the correlation function and the required delay between the burst received by the terminal and the burst sent by the terminal is derived from the two-way delay. In order to create a communication system in which the terminals have a as simple as possible ranging hardware, the ranging sequence is a binary sequence whose autocorrelation function has an extreme value at the zero point. The relative phase position between the received ranging sequence (ONU-PNS-RX) and a clock signal (OLT-CLK-SEQ) derived from the data rate (OLT-CLK-DATA) is at first determined at the central station (OLT) and the ranging sequences of the terminal and central station are then correlated in phase.

Abstract: A method for quantitatively determining the setting of an alternator without removing or dismantling the alternator rotor, even when the width of the alternator air gap is no greater than 10 mm. The method uses a thin flat sensor with a recess on one side for receiving a piston. The sensor is inserted into the air gap and positioned in front of the wedge where the setting is to be determined, so that the piston is facing said wedge. A fluid is then injected into the sensor to urge the piston into contact with the wedge and press it thereagainst while the sensor is in engagement with the rotor. The pressure of the injected fluid, which is proportional to the force applied to the spring behind the wedge, is measured. Wedge movement when the pressure is exerted is also measured by means of a strain gauge attached to a flexible blade contacting the piston. The setting may thus be deduced from the measured force and movement. An apparatus for carrying out the method is also disclosed.

Abstract: Even if a crawler belt rides over a rock, the ground contacting length does not have to be reduced, thereby making it possible to improve the stability of a vehicle. Even if either of right- and left-hand crawler belts rides over a rock, an idler and a lower rolling wheel in the vicinity thereof are prevented from falling down, whereby the crawler belt is prevented from being greately twisted and damaged. To make this possible, there is provided a crawler type vehicle running device comprising left- and right-hand track frames supporting a vehicle body, driving wheels each supported on one end of each of the track frames, idler supports each supported on the other end of each of the track frames, piston rods adapted to be biassed by re-coiled springs so as to push out the idler supports, idlers supported by the idler supports, crawler belts passed around the idlers and driving wheels and lower rolling wheels for guiding the crawler belts, wherein the track frames (3, 4) are each formed in an inverted U shape and the idler supports (6, 6) are provided such that they are longitudinally slidably supported between guide members (12a, 12b) fixed inside two leg portions of the inverted U shape track frames. The idler supports (6, 6) have idlers (7, 7) rotatably supported thereon and first lower rolling wheels (10, 10) rotatably supported at positions adjacent to the idlers via brackets (18, 18).

Abstract: The communication system includes a transceiver which transmits a signal modulated at the output of a first data constellation. An error control signal ( epsilon n) is formed from a pseudo-error which is a function of first and second errors respectively, allocated to first and second weighting operations. The first error is a function of the distance between the received samples and the decisions taken concerning the samples in the first constellation. The second error is a function of the distance between the samples and decisions taken concerning samples in a second simplified constellation. The weighting of the second error is proportional to the first error. The pseudo-error is a function of the first error, esp. its sine, when it is less than a threshold. Alternately, the pseudo-error is a function of the second error, pref. its sine.

Abstract: The procedure for separating printed or un-printed books into separate packages includes stacking the books horizontally in a support table (1), each with its back lying on the table. Beneath the stacking table there is a pivoting claw (2) attached to a support by a pivot (3). This is mounted such that when the claw is turned it is forced between two books forming a space in the stack. The operation of this claw may be carried out by an electromagnet.

The separator element comprises two components which can be moved apart in order to separate the two parts of the stack of books. The operation of this element may be synchronised with the movement of the stack of books.

Abstract: The projectile consists of a penetrator (1) and a tail fin assembly (2). They are joined by a mechanical coupling (6,7) designed to separate after a predetermined flight duration. This causes the tail fin assembly to rotate relative to the penetrator by the aerodynamic forces acting on it. The mechanical separator is formed by two engaging fine-pitch threaded surfaces on the coupling components (6,7). For e.g. a 105 mm calibre projecting, the thread pitch is of the order of 0.25 - 1 mm for a length of about 50 mm. After a given flight duration the tail fin assembly unscrews from the penetrator, which drops rapidly to the ground.
