Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for controlling the delivery of power to DC components such as computer components, microprocessors or the like. Designs of voltage regulation modules (112) are presented which are appropriate for faster components, lower voltages, and higher currents. Embodiments are especially suited to applications which cause rapid changes in the conductance of the load, even in the sub-microsecond time domain as is common in computer applications and the like and in powering electronics equipment, especially a distributed system and especially a system wherein low voltage at high current is required. Embodiments and subelements provide energy storage for low voltage, high current electronic loads, and ability to supply current with rapid time variation, providing extremely low inductance connections, permitting VRM'S (112) and the like to be located relatively remotely from the powered electronic load (186), and a steady voltage from a transformer isolated, high frequency AC to DC converter (102) under varying load without the necessity for feedback control among other aspects. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention recognizes that contrary to intuitive expectations, sensitivity and resolution of the data for image reconstruction can be increased by decreasing the absorption or scattering mean free path length of the imaging source energy. Methods are disclosed in this respect for enhancing sensitivity and resolution in the imaging of scattering target media (116). In one method, source energy wavelength is selected to optimize scattering and absorption of the energy while maintaining measurable and acceptable detector signals (112). In another aspect of the invention, the scattering target medium (116) is radially compressed and the imaging source wavelength is then adjusted in conjunction with the compression to improve sensitivity and resolution.

Abstract: A positioning system for racing cars is disclosed, which comprises a vehicle information device mounted in a racing car, with a positioning device for gathering and output of positional data, by means of which the position of the racing car can be fixed and a transmitter for sending the positional data to a control centre. A number of such vehicle information devices, operated in cooperation with a computational device, allow a useful execution of a positioning system, whereby said computational unit calculates the position of each car on the circuit from the transmitted positional data and stored race track data. The position of each of the race cars can be fixed using the virtual map of the race track course, in the form of the race track data and the transmitted positional data, without the need to establish positioning devices at essentially all the points around the race track. A vehicle coming to rest or leaving the race track can also be determined and precisely located without additional requirements.

Abstract: The invention relates to a container tracking system. For the purpose of easily tracking any individual container (16) or carrier, a transponder is disposed on the body of the container or carrier, e.g. the transponder is inserted into the body of the carrier in a protected and safe manner. The transponder has a memory configured for transmitting and receiving electronic data, like identification codes, location codes etc. The container tracking system comprises moreover a computer system for tracking a plurality of container or carriers. The transponder, in particular the memory of the transponder (first electronic level), exchanges data with read/write units (second electronic level). A plurality of such read/write units is located on a track or a trajectory of the containers, i.e. is disposed relatively close to a track of the transponder. The computer system of the container tracking system is completed by a processing unit disposed remote from the containers (third electronic level). The distant processing unit receives data from the read/write units thereby permitting a monitoring of all data memorized in the transponders.

Abstract: A housing for electronic equipment having a cooling air flow passage system of first and second parts. The first part receives incoming cooling air, the air flowing through the first part and then, at one location, flowing from the first part into and then along the second part of the system. At a second location, some of the cooling air is returned into the first part of the system, the remainder of the cooling air having been expelled from the housing. Because of the return of cooling air into the first part of the system, there is an accumulation of incoming and returned air to pass along the first part of the system and this accumulation is greater than the rate at which air is entering and is being expelled from the housing. As a result, the accumulation of air travels at an extremely high flow rate through the first part of the system so as to maximize the removal of heat from electronic components. The electronic equipment may be densely populated with electronic components while the cooling air system maintains desired operating temperatures within the equipment. A method of removing heat from electronic equipment is also discussed. <IMAGE>
