Abstract: A broadcasting unit attachment for use on a material spreader of the type for applying a dressing of material on ground surfaces such as golf courses. The attachment is particularly designed for use on spreaders normally used to apply light topping when on occasion it is desired to spread an coven heavy application of top dressing. The attachment includes a rotary brush mounted in a framework for locating the brush below a rear drop-off end of a conveyor of the spreader, the brush having a drive for rotating the brush in a direction so that bristles at the top of the brush travel in a rearward direction relative to the spreader beneath the drop-off end whereby particles of the material are mainly propelled upwardly and rearwardly of the spreader as they fall to the rotating brush. A deflector plate is located above the rotating brush so that those particles having an upward component of travel strike an underside of the deflector plate where they are directed more immediately towards the ground surface being covered.

Inventor: VAYANOS ALKINOOS H
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 2001-10-29
Abstract: Techniques to estimate the velocity of a terminal in a wireless communication system. Movement by the terminal results in a Doppler shift in the frequency of each transmitted signal received at the terminal. In one method, the positions of the terminal, a base station, and each of two or more satellites are initially determined. A residual rate of a change of pseudo-range may also be determined for each satellite, e.g., based on (1) an estimated baseband frequency error that includes the Doppler frequency shift due to the terminal's movement and (2) an estimated Doppler frequency shift due to movement by the satellite. A set of equations is then formed based on the determined positions of the terminal, the base station, and the satellites and the determined residual rates of change of pseudo-ranges for the satellites.  The velocity of the terminal may thereafter be estimated based on the set of equations.

Inventor: TABBAGH JEANNE
IPC: G01V3/38
Filed: 2002-02-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the georeferenced measuring of electrical resistivity for the electrical mapping of soil. The area of soil to be mapped is divided up into a fine network of points. According to the invention, measuring means are used to obtain n parameters (n being at least equal to 3) characterising the electrical resistivity at a given point at n different depths. In addition, an absolute position measurement and k relative displacement measurements are obtained using positioning means for a number k of points measured. The three measurements obtained are subsequently sent to a microcontroller which synchronises the acquisitions. The data sent by the microcontroller are digitally processed in real time on a computer. Furthermore, two different display windows are used to view, simultaneously and in real time, a profile showing the sequential variations for a given depth in the resistivity of the soil across the area studied and a map showing the position of the measuring means. The invention is suitable for use in precision farming and for prospecting archaeological sites.
