Title: Correlation interferometer geolocation
Inventor: STRUCKMAN KEITH A
IPC: H04B/
Filed: 2004-02-06
Abstract: Correlation Interferometer Geo Location (CIGL) uses DF antenna array movement on an aircraft while taking a Plurality of sets of transmitted signal Measurements. Each measurement set is stored as data in a covariance matrix, and the matrices are each decomposed to yield measured array vectors. Using an array manifold table developed during calibration of the CIGI. system, and containing testing array vectors, the measured array vectors are each correlated to testing array vectors to develop a correlation Surface that includes compensation for perturbations Such as aircraft induced electromagnetic scattering, All the correlation surfaces are summed and normalized, with the resultant summation undergoing conjugate gradient processing to more accurately geo-locate the transmitter. Improved accuracy with fewer antennas and polarization independence are also achieved.

Title: Vertical-take-off air vehicle with lift created by a rotary impeller causing air to flow over convex outer surfaces
Inventor: HATTON GEOFFREY
IPC: B64C39/00
Filed: 2007-08-28
Abstract: In a vertical-take-off air vehicle, a rotary impeller 3 causes air to flow radially outwardly over convex outer surfaces 1 to create lift. In accordance with the invention air is also caused to flow under one or more outer surfaces 5 at selected circumferential position(s). Stability is improved by orienting the vehicle so that a surface 5 is facing towards the wind. Forward, horizontal movement of the vehicle can be controlled by flaps 9 that allow air to be constrained to flow optionally under or over this surface 5. The surface 5 may be offset from adjoining surfaces 1 so that the flow of air can conveniently be diverted beneath it. The walls 1, 5 may be connected together by one or more side walls 5A curved so that the flow of air on each side imparts a turning moment opposing an opposite moment caused by the impeller 3.

Title: Portable air pump
Inventor: HUANG YING-CHE
IPC: F04B33/00
Filed: 2007-09-21
Abstract: A portable air pump includes a tubular body (1), a barrel (2), a piston mechanism (3), a head (4), and a dispensing head (5). The tubular body has an upper cover having air inlet holes and a sealed bottom cover. The barrel has an air passage running through along its axis direction. The piston, having a center hole (311), a through hole (312), and a check valve (33, 34) is in between second end of the barrel and the piston. As the tubular body is moved in relation to the barrel away from the head, air is flown into the tubular body through air inlet holes and to the bottom of the tubular body through the through hole. Air can be prevented from flowing out from the center hole using a check valve disc. As the tubular body is moved in relation to the barrel towards the head, air from the bottom of tubular body is flown into the air passage of the barrel through the center hole, and out from the head and the dispensing head.

A determination (53) is made whether the second amplitude (46) of the second pulse (45) is greater than the first amplitude (42) of the first pulse (44) by a predetermined difference threshold. A determination (54) is made that the interrogation signal (40,60,70) is an authorized interrogation signal (40,60,70) in response to the determination (53) that the interrogation signal (40,60,70) includes the first pulse (44) transmitted at the first amplitude (42) following by the second pulse (45) transmitted at the second amplitude (46) where the second amplitude (46) is greater than the first amplitude by at least a predetermined difference threshold. The method frustrates relay attacks.
