Title: Protection relay and method for controlling transmission level of the same
Inventor: TAKEUCHI ATSUSHI
IPC: H02H3/02
Filed: 2009-03-25
Abstract: Provided are a protection relay capable of properly automatically adjusting the transmission level of a data transmission so as not to affect another system using an adjacent transmission path and a method for adjusting the transmission level of the protection relay. An A/D converter (11) obtains the current flowing through a power line (4) via a CT (5). A calculator (12) executes various kinds of protection calculations, such as a current differential calculation, using current data at own end and current data at an opposing end. A transmission and reception circuit (13) transmits the current data at own end through a transmission path (3) to a protection relay (1) at the opposing end. A reception level detector (14) detects the reception level of transmission data transmitted from the opposing end and received by the transmission and reception circuit (13). Based on the difference between a reception level detected within a certain time (t1) after data transmission has been established with the protection relay (1) at the opposing end and a predetermined reception level, a transmission controller (15) performs control so that the transmission level decreases after the certain time (t1) has elapsed.

Title: A split aperture monopulse antenna system
Inventor: SEGO DANIEL J
IPC: G01S13/44
Filed: 2012-07-02
Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing electromagnetic waves, for example, in a radar system, is disclosed. Electromagnetic waves are transmitted in a selected direction by a first antenna array. The scattered waves are received by a second array split into two portions, each receiving in a different direction with respect to the selected direction. The second array may contain the same elements as the first; the array elements may be selected from a two- or three-dimensional array. The signal received at the first portion of the second array is subtracted from that received at the second portion, to produce difference data. The data may also be summed, and the presence of the target determined from the summed data. An elevation angle is calculated from the difference data, preferably by using its slope and the ratio of the difference data to the summed data. The apparatus may be associated with a platform such as an aircraft, a helicopter, or an unmanned aerial vehicle.

Title: A solid state component device for achieving multi-photon interference between quantum registers with nuclear and electron spin state coupling
Inventor: HANSON RONALD
IPC: G06N99/00
Filed: 2012-10-12
Abstract: A device for achieving multi-photon interference comprising solid state photon emitters, each solid state photon emitter comprising nuclear and electron spin states coupled together and being configured to produce a photon emission peak, wherein the photon emission peaks from different emitters have a frequency difference between peak intensities, the electron spin states of each solid state photon emitter are resolvable and have associated optical outcoupling structures. The emitters may be individually excitable, a tuning arrangement may reduce the frequency difference between the peak intensities and a photon interference arrangement may overlap photon emissions from the emitters after tuning. A detector detects photon emissions from the emitters wherein the detector resolves sufficiently small differences in photon detection times that tuned photon emissions from the at least two solid state emitters are quantum mechanically indistinguishable resulting in quantum interference between indistinguishable photon emissions from different solid state photon emitters. The emitters may be formed by photon emissive nitrogen vacancy (NV) defects in diamond material.
