Title: Optical position target
Inventor: HARRISON MALCOLM ANTHONY
IPC: G01B11/27
Filed: 1999-06-09
Abstract: An optical positioning system is provided in which an optical position target is used to determine the mis-alignment of a light beam presented to the target. The optical position target comprises a rotator member 1 incorporating a plurality of light detectors 2. These detectors 2 are arranged to have distinct orbits of rotation as the rotator member 1 is rotated. Thus, when a light beam strikes the rotator member 1 there is an indicative combination of rotator member 1 angular position and specific detector 2 activated which is utilised by a controller to determine the degree of mis-alignment between the beam source and the target. Thus, the controller can allow calibration correction of a sensor system, such as an occupant detection system (ODS) in a motor vehicle.

Patent HU-T66997-A (HU)
Title: Process for calcining moist gipsum
Inventor: KROEHL PAUL
IPC: C04B11/028
Filed: 1992-03-19
Abstract: Both the drying and also the removal of the water crystalization take place carefully in a respective fluidized bed apparatus (A, B) without any danger of overheating. This is achieved by a complete homogenous fluidization through indirectly heated hot gas. A substantial quantity of energy is transferred via heat exchanger systems (4 or 12) in the fluidized layer. These are heated by heat carrying media. The constructional design of the fluidized bed apparatuses (A, B) which have a rectangular base outline ensures a narrow dwelltime spectrum and a pronounced temperature/moisture profile without the aid of differentially fluidized chambers. Because of the comparatively cold infeed zone and the careful heating which thereby arise the characteristics of the crystals are favourably influenced. The product is characterized by high quality homogenity. In the case of the calcining of moist gypsum no undesired gypsum modifications arise.
