Patent EP-1415125-A2 (EP)
Inventor: VAN BERKEL CEES
IPC: G01D5/24
Filed: 2002-07-22
Abstract: A combined passive and active object sensing system (30; 50; 70) employing electric field sensing is described. An electric field sensing transmission electrode (2) generates a first electric field (11, 12, 13) that induces a current in an electric field sensing reception electrode (4). A passive object (10) is sensed from variation in this current. An active object (31; 51; 71) comprises a further electric field sensing transmission electrode (33; 53; 73) and generates a second electric field (35, 36, 37; 55, 56, 57; 75, 76, 77). This may be generated by the active object (31) coupling with and applying a phase shift to the first electric field (11, 12, 13). Alternatively the second electric field (55, 56, 57) may be generated at a different frequency to the first electric field (11, 12, 13). Alternatively the second electric field (75, 76, 77) may be generated by the active object (71) coupling with an alternating magnetic field generated by a coil (172). The second electric field (35, 36, 37; 55, 56, 57; 75, 76, 77) induces a current in the electric field sensing reception electrode (4) that varies with the position of the active object (31; 51; 71). The separate currents are distinguished by virtue of their different phase or frequency.

Abstract: The invention is a support structure for a railed-vehicle that includes individual, unassembled components sized for easy transport. In one embodiment, the support structure includes curved columns integrally-formed with a base, the columns imparting a curved, Y-shaped configuration to the support structure. The components may be prefabricated with known materials and methods and transported to an installation site for assembly. The support structure is preferably sized to support one or two vehicle guideways. The support structure may include a pile foundation for improved support during seismic activity and to facilitate installation on existing streets and sidewalks without covering or interfering with underground plumbing or utilities. Preferably, multiple sections of the guideway are rigidly secured together through expansion joints to define a continuous guideway such that loads on the guideway are distributed over multiple columns.

Abstract: Congested rewriting in the same area is to be evaded to suppress the tendency towards occurrence of defective areas. When a stream 1 has been recorded, the last written address, representing the last written position, is stored. When recording a stream 2 next, recording is started directly following the position indicated by the last written address for the stream 1. The last written address, corresponding to the last address of the recording position, is stored. If the stream 2 is erased for recording a stream 3, recording is started not at a position directly following the last written address of the stream 1, but from a position directly following the last written address of the stream 2. When the stream 3 has reached the end of a recording area, the next following data is recorded as from a position directly following the stream 1.

Title: Amrt a transmission efficace des paquets avec regulation du flux

Filed: 2002-12-13
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système permettant la communication entre une station de base et une pluralité de véhicules par l'intermédiaire d'un système de communication bidirectionnel, et qui permet aux véhicules mobiles de demander du temps d'émission afin d'envoyer un message. Dans les demandes d'émission de signal se trouve un identificateur qui permet à la station de base d'identifier le niveau de priorité du message en question . Par exemple, si les véhicules mobiles sont des véhicules publics de secours, un message revêtant une certaine urgence présenterait un degré de priorité élevé, tandis que des rapport plus routiniers présenteraient un degré de priorité moins élevé. La station de base reçoit la demande d'envoi de signaux et planifie initialement la transmission du message le plus long à partir du véhicule en fonction du niveau de priorité. Ainsi, un signal d'urgence envoyé à la base depuis le véhicule serait planifié de manière à être transmis avant un signal plus routinier, conformément à l'information de priorité fournie dans la demande de transmission de signal. La base planifie ensuite la transmission du message le plus long à partir de chaque véhicule mobile en fonction de l'identificateur de priorité. De cette manière, l'information transmise aux véhicules mobiles et à partir de ces derniers est gérée de manière plus conforme aux besoins immédiats du véhicule mobile particulier.

IPC: G01S13/931
Filed: 2003-09-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a radar system for controlling a gate power supply and drain power supply of a MMIC (micro wave monolithic IC), protecting the MMIC at the time of start and shut-off, and simultaneously avoiding an occurrence of a failure in the MMIC due to a residual charge and an abnormal supply potential at the time of shut-off. 
     A power supply control means (a timer circuit 510 and 512) controls the gate and drain power supplies (508,507) at the rise time so that an output voltage of the gate power supply (508) rises earlier than that of the drain power supply (507). Another power supply control means (a discharge circuit 509) controls the gate and drain power supplies at the fall time so that an output voltage of the gate power supply (507) falls later than that of the drain power supply (508). Another power supply control means (the drain power source control circuit 511 for RF) turns off the drain power supply (507) of the FET among power supplies when it is detected by a voltage monitoring means (513-516) that even either of output voltages of the power supplies (501,502,505,506, etc.) is not within said specified range.

Abstract: A robust, low-loss wired pipe joint is provided for service as a component of a wired pipe
string for transmitting measurement data to a surface station from locations in a borehole
in oil well drilling and oil well operations. Conductive layers reduce signal energy losses
over the length of the drill string by reducing resistive losses and flux losses at each
inductive coupler. The wired pipe joint is robust in that it remains operational in the
presence of gaps in the conductive layer. A wired pipe joint includes an elongate tubular
shank having an axial bore, a threaded box-end, and a threaded pin end. A first annular
coil, fixedly mounted to the box-end is partially surrounded by a first high-conductivity,
low-permeability layer, and a second annular coil fixedly mounted to the pin-end is
partially surrounded by a second high-conductivity, low-permeability layer, such that
when the box-end of a first wired pipe joint is coupled for operation with the pin-end of a
second wired pipe joint, the first and second high-conductivity, low-permeability layers
form at least a portion of a toroidal path enclosing the first annular coil of the first wired
pipe joint and the second annular coil of the second wired pipe joint. Coil windings of
the first and second coils of the wired pipe joint are electrically coupled.

Abstract: The laser deterrent system includes a laser gun carried by an operator with a battery power backpack, producing laser radiation which caused excitation of water molecules in the skin of criminals to be intercepted. This produces a disturbing sensation in the skin of the victim without causing permanent damage.  The protection system uses a laser system mounted in a box (11) with a source of power (12), the laser itself being carried by the operator (13) whilst the power source may be mounted in a back pack. The laser action is started and stopped manually by the operator rather like a torch, and may be directed at a group of people to be controlled. The laser has a wavelength such that the energy is absorbed by the molecules of water held within the cells of the skin: the wavelength for this strong water absorption is in the region of 2 micro meters. The laser energy may be continuous or pulsed, and may be derived from a laser operating with a rare earth material.
