Patent EP-1891895-B1 (EP)
Inventor: BAR-TAL MEIR
IPC: A61B5/06
Filed: 2007-08-20
Granted: 2010-03-03
Abstract: A method for tracking a position of an object includes generating alternating current (AC) magnetic fields at two or more frequencies in a vicinity of the object using at least one field generator. The AC fields are sensed using a field sensor associated with the object. Corresponding AC data points that are indicative of amplitudes and directions of the AC fields at the field sensor are produced, wherein at least some of the sensed AC fields are subject to a distortion. A dependence of the AC data points on the frequencies of the AC fields is extrapolated to a target frequency so as to determine the amplitudes and directions of the AC fields with a reduced level of the distortion. Position coordinates of the object relative to the at least one field generator are calculated responsively to the extrapolated data points.

Abstract: The method involves implementing a target detector that allows to locate a target (13) in a reference location related to a projectile (1). Components of a line of sight vector between the target and the projectile are deduced using aiming algorithms. Three components of a terrestrial magnetic field are measured in the reference location. Rotation speed of the projectile around roll, pitch and yaw axes is determined by combining two pseudo-gyrometric evaluations that are based on vector and magnetic field components. An independent claim is also included for a device for terminal piloting and/or guiding of a projectile toward a target.

Title: Angle sensor
Inventor: SCHIRP CHRISTIAN
IPC: B62D15/00
Filed: 2007-05-16
Granted: 2009-10-14
Abstract: An angle sensor includes two measuring pinions which rotate in the same direction in response to a drive pinion rotating. The measuring pinions have different absolute angular positions after rotating. The absolute angular position of the drive pinion is determinable from the absolute angular positions of the measuring pinions. A delta wheel between the measuring pinions has two coaxially arranged rings. One ring engages the second measuring pinion and the other ring engages the first measuring pinion such that the rings rotate relative to one another in the same direction in response to the measuring pinions rotating in the opposite direction. A spring connecting the rings together biases the rings to move in opposite directions toward one another after the rings have been rotated relative to one another in the same direction such that the rings respectively press the measuring pinions against the drive pinion.

Abstract: A tool for extracting a pin from a substrate comprises a first lever arm with a body part having a cavity in which the free end of a pin can be received, and a second lever arm which can pivot relative to the first lever arm. A jaw component is provided within the body part which can be actuated from an unlocked position in which a pin within the jaw component can slide freely past the jaw component, and a locked position in which the pin is gripped by engagement of the jaw component with the side wall of the pin, and a support is provided which can slide relative to the body part, in a direction towards the substrate from which the pin is to be extracted. Initial movement of the first lever arm relative to the second lever arm causes the jaw component to be actuated from its unlocked position to its locked position so that an inserted pin is gripped by the jaw component. Continued movement of the first lever arm relative to the second lever arm causes the support to slide relative to the body part, so that an inserted pin which is gripped by the jaw component is displaced relative to the substrate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a high-voltage circuit breaker comprising a housing (10) filled with insulating gas and a heat space (14) for receiving compressed quenching gas. When a current (I) with a small, average or high intensity is interrupted, the quenching gas is heated and pressurised by a rotary arc (S) which is exposed to a current-dependent magnetic flux density (B). Two contact pieces (20, 30) that can be moved in relation to each other along an axis (A) are arranged in the housing (10), one (30) of said contact pieces comprising a coaxial arrangement of an arcing contact (31), an arcing ring (15), and a coil (C) surrounding the arcing contact (31). Said coil (C) is electroconductively connected to the arcing ring (15) and leads to the current (I) to be interrupted. The coil (C) comprises two windings (40, 50) wound in opposite directions. Said windings are embodied and arranged in such a way that, when a current with a high intensity is interrupted, the component of the magnetic flux density (B), contributing to the rotation of the arc (S), is smaller on the arcing ring than in a switch which is identical but comprises a coil (C) which is wound in the same direction. The heat space (14) can therefore be small, enabling a compact switch.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a Drosophila in vitro system which was used to demonstrate that dsRNA is processed to RNA segments 21-23 nucleotides (nt) in length. Furthermore, when these 21-23 nt fragments are purified and added back to Drosophila extracts, they mediate RNA interference in the absence of long dsRNA. Thus, these 21-23 nt fragments are the sequence-specific mediators of RNA degradation. A molecular signal, which may be their specific length, must be present in these 21-23 nt fragments to recruit cellular factors involved in RNAi. This present invention encompasses these 21-23 nt fragments and their use for specifically inactivating gene function.; The use of these fragments (or chemically synthesized oligonucleotides of the same or similar nature) enables the targeting of specific mRNAs for degradation in mammalian cells, where the use of long dsRNAs to elicit RNAi is usually not practical, presumably because of the deleterious effects of the interferon response. This specific targeting of a particular gene function is useful in functional genomic and therapeutic applications.
