Title: Revetement de camouflage empechant la detection des rayons infrarouges
Inventor: COX PHILIP R
IPC: F41H3/02
Filed: 1993-09-24
Abstract: L'invention se rapporte un revêtement de camouflage (20) qui comprend une couche sous-jacente (24) d'un matériau poreux de faible poids, tel que le tulle de nylon. Des bandes allongées (26) sont fixées au niveau d'une de leurs extrémités à la couche sous-jacente du matériau. Les bandes ont différentes valeurs d'émissivité et sont agencées selon des configurations qui évitent que des bandes de même valeur d'émissivité soient placées les unes à côté des autres. Les bandes tendent à rompre à la fois la forme et l'intensité de lumière d'une émission de rayons infrarouges d'un objet sous-jacent. Les bandes tendent également à absorber le rayonnement émis par l'objet sous-jacent. Dans un mode de réalisation, les bandes suspendues, mobiles, fixées à la couche sous-jacente, forment un vêtement de camouflage individuel (20) qui protège un utilisateur des dispositifs de détection de rayons infrarouges. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le revêtement de camouflage est utilisé pour empêcher la détection de structures sous-jacentes. De préférence, les bandes ayant une valeur d'émissivité différente sont formées dans le même matériau de base (nylon revêtu d'argent) et des tâches colorées de différentes formes sont ajoutées au matériau de base afin d'obtenir différentes valeurs d'émissivité ainsi qu'un camouflage visible.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bridge consisting of at least two bridge elements (10.1, 10.2). Each bridge element consists of a base body (11) with bevelled end faces (13), on which carriageway slabs (14) lie, it being possible for the carriageway slabs to be brought in constrained fashion from a run-up position into a coupling position by means of articulated ramp plates (17; 17.1, 17.2) by in each case two bridge elements being moved up against one another into a run-up position with the ramp plates. The device (18.1) for placing the bridge has a guide (supporting rail 21, holding plate 22) for the guide pins (17.3, 17.4) of the ramp plates (17.1, 17.2), so that the bridge elements (10.1, 10.2) can be securely brought together. In addition, the device (18.1) has guide rails (27), with which the locking elements (hooks 28, bolts 38) can be centrally actuated. <IMAGE>

IPC: B60K28/16
Filed: 1994-02-22
Abstract: The engine management system contains an anti-slip (traction) control unit (26) so that the engine torque is reduced if there is excess slip between a driven wheel and the road surface. This is done by switching out single cylinders and/or by adjusting the ignition timing. The anti-slip unit produces an instruction signal for the engine control unit to execute a certain amount of torque reduction. The torque reduction occurs in steps, with a sequence of cylinder disconnections according to a pattern. On a V8 engine, for instance, for a 50% torque reduction, four alternate cylinders are switched out, and for 62.5 % torque reduction, five cylinders are switched out. For torque reduction between these values, ignition timing adjustment is used.

Abstract: The optical transmitter (3) is used for transmitting a light beam A which exhibits a periodic auxiliary-carrier signal which is phase-angled or frequency modulated by an information signal (NS). The transmitter (3) comprises at least one laser (11), a beam splitter (12), a beam coupler (16), a light modulator (14), an optical fibre (18) and optical links for connecting these units. To this are added advantageously two polarisation monitors (21, 23) and a control loop of a further beam splitter (25), a photodiode (27), a control circuit (28), an actuator (29) and the optical fibre (18). The first light beam (L1) output by the laser (11) is divided by the beam splitter (12). One part-beam (L2) enters the optical fibre (18) and generates in the latter a returning light beam (L4) of slightly different frequency due to stimulated Brillouin scattering. The other part-beam (L3) passes through the modulator (14) and is phase modulated in the latter. The last-mentioned beams (L3, L4) are combined in the coupler (16) and result in the beam A. The control loop acts on the length of the optical fibre (18) by means of the piezoelectric effect and prevents a spontaneous change between the various possible cavity modes of the fibre (18). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of highly dewatered, possibly contaminated sediments and/or possibly contaminated fine sediments (silt) separated off therefrom, in the form of constructional units for underwater filling-in of water bodies to be drained, in particular harbour basins. The constructional elements produced according to the invention comprise a highly compressed, highly dewatered, homogeneous shaped body of possibly contaminated sediments and/or possibly contaminated fine sediments separated off therefrom which is enclosed on all sides by a deformable water-permeable packaging casing. The constructional elements may be transported and sunk in the water without releasing pollutants. After they have been laid in the water bodies to be drained or filled in, the constructional elements, under load deformation, form a monolithic whole having relatively high strength in which the pollutants are incorporated so as to be immobile. With proper installation, the creation of buidling land from water bodies to be drained (land reclamation) is ensured with simultaneous environmentally compatible land filling of the possibly contaminated sediment or the possibly contaminated fine sediment separated off therefrom.

Abstract: The scanning system has an optical sensor (1) which includes a light source e.g. LED (3) that radiates light (A) in a radiation range with a predetermined spatial angle. A light sensitive element (2) receives reflected light (B) in a detection region with a predetermined spatial angle and provides an output signal dependent on the received light. The relative alignment of the radiation range (A) and the detection region is such that, coming from the sensor, in a first distance range (F) they do not intersect and in a second distance range (G) they do intersect. A reflector (12) is arranged in the second distance range. This reflects part of the light from the light element to the light sensitive element. The object (7) being scanned passes through the radiation range and/or the detection region within the first distance range (F). Thus, the object is measured independent of its reflection properties since only transmitted light is detected in the first distance range, and not reflections from the surface of the object.
