Title: Weapon guidance by target state estimation
Inventor: LAWRENCE RICHARD VINCENT
IPC: G05D1/12
Filed: 1997-08-19
Abstract: A method of weapon guidance which allows target attitude data to be determined and used to control said weapon optimally to the target. The target is imaged and target image 5 compared with a library of stored model images of different target types at different attitudes. Preferably the images are spoke encoded before comparison, such that the images are encoded as a set of radial spokes 6 from a centroid in the image to the image periphery 7. This solves the problem of variable target range, rotation and displacement of the target in the field of view. Moreover target range can be determined passively by a scaling step in the method.

Title: Sports Netting.
Inventor: FLETCHER NEIL
IPC: A63B63/00
Filed: 1998-03-11
Abstract: Sports netting, e.g. for use in football or hockey goal nets, comprises two sets of materials 1, 2, with at least one of the materials previously having a intermittent pattern 3, 4 applied to its surface. When the materials are woven together, the intermittent pattern forms an overall image, e.g. an advertising message, on the netting. The net materials may be filamentary and/or made up of flat tape. The intermittent pattern to form the overall image may be computer generated. If formed on flat tape, the pattern may be formed by modifying the construction of the tape, e.g. by having two superimposed tapes of different colours, and piercing the first tape in certain places to allow the colour of the second to pass through.

Title: Container with loading plate and method for producing it
Inventor: SCHUETZ UDO
IPC: B65D77/04
Filed: 1994-07-05
Abstract: The pallet container (1) for liquids has an exchangeable inner container (2) made of sheet metal, an outer casing (6) of latticework and a pallet (9) which is designed as a bottom tray (10) and receives the bottom (16), designed as a drainage bottom, of the inner container in a positive-locking manner. The inner container (2) of sheet metal, preferably of dual-walled design, is welded together from a casing (11), a bottom part (12) and a lid (13). To produce the inner container, a rectangular sheet-metal blank is bent to form a tubular body whose abutting edges are welded longitudinally. The tubular body is stretched to form a casing of rectangular cross-section. A circumferential bead with a V-shaped cross-section is then moulded in each case into the two end regions of the casing with spacing from its edges which are subsequently trimmed. The deep-drawn, tray-shaped bottom part is then fitted precisely with a bent edge onto or attached to the outer flank of the one bead of the casing, and the bottom part is fixed to the casing. The lid is mounted on the casing in the same manner. The bottom part and the lid are welded to the casing. To form a smooth transition between the casing and bottom part on the one hand and the casing and lid on the other hand, the transition regions between the casing and the bottom part and the casing and the lid are widened by applying pressure to the inner container inserted in a supporting mould. <IMAGE>
