Title: Dipole moment detection and localization
IPC: G01R33/00
Filed: 1993-05-14
Granted: 1998-07-28
Abstract: An array of magnetic sensors (11) and a digital signal processor (70-80) are used to break a target magnetic dipole field into its components, and a magnetic signature of the present magnetic field is created. Predicted target signatures are precomputed for multiple magnetic orientations of the dipole (13) at each of a plurality of range locations, expressed in terms of Anderson functions (75), which are a set of equations that decompose the magnetic field in each of the magnetic response locations (12), and are stored in a lookup table for reference. Input data measured by the sensors are processed and each sensor's magnetic value is predicted to process against background noise using the other sensors of the array. A long term time average (71, 72) consistent with the relative motion of the target is computed using bandpass filtering of the signals from the sensor array, The bandpass filtered data is used to update the predicted data so that anomalies and other non-target data is removed from the signals that are processed. The data are then expressed in terms of Anderson functions (74). The data are matched filtered (76), wherein it is correlated with the stored precomputed predicted target signatures. The correlation yields a set of values that is then thresholded (78) If a target is present at any of the locations, then the correlated normalized value computed as stated above will be higher than the chosen threshold. The target locations (79) that are above the threshold are then displayed on a monitor (81) showing the relative location and dipole orientation.

Abstract: An improved detent shift control in which upshift initiation is adjusted in relation to the engine acceleration and the expected shift delay time so that the engine speed limit is not exceeded.  Data recorded in the course of the shift is analyzed upon completion of the shift, and the control adaptively adjusts the expected delay time if a significant timing error is detected.  Whenever the engine throttle position exceeds a detent threshold, a shift trigger speed for the next higher gear is determined by subtracting a delay-based speed from the desired engine shift speed.  The delay-based speed is determined according to the product of the engine acceleration and the stored delay time.  The shift is initiated when the engine speed reaches the trigger speed so that the engine speed is prevented from exceeding the desired shift speed.  If data collected during the shift reveals that the actual shift speed significantly deviated from the desired shift speed, the controller develops and stores a temperature-based adaptive delay time correction for that shift type.  In subsequent detent upshifting to the same gear, the delay time correction is combined with the stored empirical delay time in the determination of the shift trigger speed.

Abstract: A circuit for maintaining a constant voltage across and constant current through a RF cavity includes a RF cavity comprising a common-gate or common-base transistor associated with a current control circuit maintains a constant current flowing through the RF cavity.      The current control circuit has a current control BJT associated with the RF cavity and a resistor between the emitter of the current control BJT and the negative source voltage of the RF cavity. The current control BJT and resistor operate as a current source or sink as necessary to maintain a constant current flow through said RF cavity.      A constant voltage regulation portion of the circuit maintains a constant voltage across the RF cavity and includes a zener reference diode and a voltage regulation BJT. The zener reference diode has an associated isolation operational amplifier circuit for isolating the zener reference diode from current fluctuations at the source while permitting the zener reference diode to respond to voltage difference changes across the RF cavity. The zener reference changes across the RF cavity. The zener reference diode and voltage regulation BJT control voltage applied to the RF cavity. The current control circuit and constant voltage regulation circuit automatically maintain a constant current passing through and constant voltage difference across the RF cavity.

Abstract: A method of pyrolytically forming a silica-containing coating on a glass substrate at an elevated temperature.      Silane, oxygen, a radical scavenger gas and a carrier gas are combined as a precursor mixture, and the precursor is directed toward and along the surface of the heated glass substrate. The presence of the radical scavenger allows the silane, which is pyrophoric, to be premixed with the oxygen without undergoing ignition and premature reaction at the operating temperatures.      The radical scavenger further provides control of and permits optimization of the kinetics of the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reaction on the glass. A preferred combination of precursor materials includes monosilane and oxygen, with ethylene as the radical scavenger, and including nitrogen as a carrier gas.

Title: Control of prime mover in hvac distribution system
Inventor: AHMED OSMAN
IPC: F24F11/04
Filed: 1995-10-03
Granted: 1999-06-15
Abstract: A controller controls a prime mover (source component) in a heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) distribution system. The controller determines a static pressure setpoint for the source component by first determining the pressure loss of each branch throughout the system. The controller then determines the pressure loss contributed by local components located within each branch of the system. The maximum of the branch pressure losses and the maximum of the component pressure losses are summed to provide the static pressure setpoint for the source component. The method provides improved control of the prime mover independent of the configuration of the system, which allows for easy and cost-effective implementation of the control method.

Abstract: A method and system for providing, in a television system, the combination, transmission, and reception of multiple video presentations over a single channel of a television distribution system. Presentations may be concurrently broadcast for viewing by many users, as well as interactively requested for display by many (potentially a thousand or more) individual users. A presentation consists of a sequence of images which reproduce a full motion, reduced motion, or a still image video presentation for the user when displayed. The signal is transmitted in a standard television format, and consists of a sequence of video images from the various presentations being transmitted. A user terminal receiving the transmitted signal is selectably operable to display one of the multiple transmitted presentations with accompanying audio. The terminal identifies the video images of the selected presentation, stores and displays the images on an associated television receiver. The number of concurrent presentation, and the degree of motion in the presentations are dynamically variable. Interactive instructions between a user at the terminal end and the presentation system are transmitted by an associated telephone line or other communications link.
