Title: Method and device for instantaneous determination of orientation, based on satellite positioning signals
Inventor: GOUNON RENE
IPC: G01S19/54
Filed: 2001-04-12
Abstract: The invention concerns orientation measuring of a mobile object in space, for example a ship's heading using receivers of satellite positioning radio signals. To obtain very rapidly an orientation measurement, the method consists in using two receiving antennae located in two points A and B whereof the distance D is well known, and in proceeding in the following manner: performing n successive calculations of position of the point A relative to the point B (for example a dozen successive calculations if the distance D is 40 centimetres) from a single set of 2p pseudo-distances measured between each antenna and p satellites. The n calculations correspond to n initial estimated positions (Ae¿1? to Ae¿n?) used as initial hypothesis for calculation. The n estimated positions are located on a circle with centre B and radius D. The calculated positions (Ac¿1? to Ac¿n?) are located at distances d¿1? to d¿n? from point B; selecting a position Ac¿k? representing the true position of point A by verifying that said position is on the circle with centre B and radius D within a few millimetres; optionally improving the selection by verifying the measurement coherence (if there are more than four satellites involved).

Abstract: An activated titanium catalyst for use in esterification or transesterification which is a gelatinous substance comprising either a mixture of an alkoxytitanium, a water-soluble polyol, and water or a product  of the reaction of the mixture, wherein the amounts of the water-soluble polyol and water are 1 to 50 mol and 1 to 60 mol, respectively, per mol of t he titanium; and a process for producing an ester having a low acid value and a  narrow molecular weight distribution by effectively utilizing the excellent ability of the catalyst to catalyze dehydrating esterification and transesterification. The process for producing an ester comprises a first st ep in which a monohydric alcohol and a diol are simultaneously or separately added to a dibasic acid to react them, a second step in which a product of t he reaction of the acid with the alcohol is separated from the reaction mixture  resulting from the first step to obtain an ester, and a third step in which the reaction product separated in the second step is recycled to the first step, wherein in the first step the catalyst is used in an amount of 0.05 to  5 mmol per mol of the acid to produce the target polyester.

Title: Controlled fusion in a field reversed configuration and direct energy conversion
Inventor: ROSTOKER NORMAN
IPC: H05H1/12
Filed: 2002-03-18
Abstract: A system and apparatus for controlled fusion in a field reversed configuration (FRC) magnetic topology and conversion of fusion product energies directly to electric power. Preferably, plasma ions are magnetically confined in the FRC  while plasma electrons are electrostatically confined in a deep energy well, created by tuning an externally applied magnetic field. In this configuration, ions and electrons may have adequate density and temperature so that upon collisions they are fused together by the nuclear force, thus forming fusion products that emerge in the form of an annular beam. Energy is removed from the fusion product ions as they spiral past electrodes of an inverse cyclotron converter. Advantageously, the fusion fuel plasmas that can be used with the present confinement and energy conversion system include advanced (aneutronic) fuels.

Title: A process for in-season nutrient application based on predicted yield potential
Inventor: STONE MARVIN L
IPC: A01C21/00
Filed: 2002-07-19
Abstract: A method for in-season macro and micronutrient application based on predicted yield potential and a nutrient response index. The inventive method includes the steps of: determining a nutrient response index for a field, determining the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) of an area to fertilize;  determining a predicted crop yield for the area; determining an attainable crop yield for the area; determining the nutrient requirement for the area as the difference between the nutrient removal at the attainable yield minus the nutrient removal at the predicted yield, adjusted by the efficiency of nutrient uptake in the particular crop. In one preferred embodiment, processing requirements at the time of application of the nutrient are eased by generating a lookup table of nutrient requirement relative to measured NDVI  prior to application of the nutrient.
