Abstract: The receiver device (1) detects a beam of electromagnetic signals (FI) of known geometry arriving at a variable entry angle of incidence alpha, such as an optical signal from a ground station received by a satellite which always points towards the centre of the earth. It comprises a lens (6) having an aspherical surface (6a) to correct the geometry of the incident beam (FI) according to a formula dependent on the entry angle of incidence alpha, to produce an incident beam (FO) which is applied to a quadratic detector (3). The correction tends to increase the convergence of the beam with angle of incidence. This suppresses the variation in the energy received by the detector (3) which occur particularly at high angles of incidence.

Abstract: An image pick-up apparatus (1) which comprises a beam splitter (2) for splitting an image into sub-images and several image sensors (3, 4) for picking up the sub-images is provided with a depolarizing element (6) which reduces the linear polarization degree of the light incident on the beam splitter. The electronic image signals of the image sensors (3, 4) are combined so as to form an electronic image signal of a composite image in a combination unit (5). Because the linear polarization degree of the light incident on a mirror surface (27) of the beam splitter (2) is low, the differences between brightnesses of sub-images picked up by individual image sensors are small. Disturbances are thus counteracted in the composite image. The image pick-up apparatus is preferably used in an X-ray examination apparatus (10) in order to reproduce an X-ray image having a high spatial resolution and few disturbances.

Abstract: A system for monitoring and adjustment of control unit parameter settings of vehicle electronic control units. The monitoring system may be implemented in a vehicle in which are incorporated one or more electronic control units for regulating one more operational parameters of the vehicle in accordance with corresponding control unit parameter settings. In an exemplary implementation the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communications terminal (MCT), which receives from a base station a list of operational parameters to be monitored. Each of the electronic control units, as well as a memory unit, are connected to an internal data link of the vehicle. When a parameter value within the memory unit corresponding to a given control unit is changed, a message is provided to the base station specifying the value currently registered by the control unit. The currently registered value is then compared to an expected parameter value, and an error message is generated if disagreement exists therebetween. The system also allows vehicle control unit parameter settings to be adjusted from a remote location such as a base station. The MCT of each vehicle is disposed to generate message packets containing updated control unit parameter information received from the base station. The message packets are then sent to a selected electronic control unit over the data link, thereby allowing the updated control unit parameter information to be loaded therein.
