Abstract: A system for controlling nonlinear plants (18) which may be effected with gain scheduled feedback controllers (10,11,30,40). Several linear sub-controllers (13,25,26,101,102) having various gains may be put together as one unit. The overall controller (10,11,30,40) may be changed by switching from one sub-controller (13,25,26,101,102) to another according to an exogenous or endogenous parameter. The signal (21) to the switch may reflect operational ranges of the plant (18) occurring at certain times and indicate the gain desired from the system relative to the output and input signals (16,17) of the plant (18) at those times. The advantages of the present approach may include a guarantee of nominal and robust stability both global and local, a permitting of the use of control structures that are familiar to industrial practitioners, and no requirement of advanced mathematical techniques for its implementation.

Abstract: A laser radar is provided that comprises a laser beam source arranged to generate a laser beam, means for changing an elevation angle of a beam axis of the beam, means for controllably adjusting anisotropy of a cross-section of the beam and a controller configured to control adjustment of a degree of anisotropy of the beam in correspondence with changes of the elevation angle. The laser radar may be used for example with the beam directed downward at grazing angles to a surface, the controller being configured to increase the degree of anisotropy with increasing angle to a direction of the surface. In this case, elevation angle corresponds to distance to the target. By adjusting anisotropy with distance, higher sensitivity can be realized at long distance and less scans are required to cover shorter distances. A beam with a diverging profile may be used, which diverges anisotropically, with selectable divergence in the elevation direction and constant divergence perpendicularly to the elevation direction. This may be realized using movable or rotatable cylindrical lenses, reflectors or refracting optical elements.

Abstract: The device (10) has a mobile torque measuring pallet (1) e.g. torque measuring wheel, driven by a striking wheel (11) and whose trajectory indirectly interferes with that of the wheel. The pallet is permanently subjected to resisting force of determined value, which opposes a driving force exerted on the pallet by the striking wheel during rotation of the striking wheel. The pallet blocks the wheel rotation if the driving force is lower than the resisting force, and authorizes the wheel rotation by releasing the striking wheel if the driving force is not lower than the resisting force. An independent claim is also included for a striking mechanism comprising a rechargeable energy source.

Abstract: Trench-based contacts are used for a bipolar transistor to contact the base active area and to lower the base-emitter surface junction area. This leads to a decrease in the transistor's switching times and at the same time to an increase of the base-emitter breakdown voltage. By using this contact technique, the base contact area can be substantially decreased, which leads to an increase of the emitter area, with positive effect on the saturation resistance of the device.

Abstract: A device, such as a communication device or data processing device, is configured to transition between a locked and unlocked state in response to a detected action that is interpreted as a continuous or single action. In an embodiment a first input is detected at a first input mechanism of the device when the device is locked, then a second input is detected at the second input. If the inputs are determined to be continuous, for example if the second input is detected within a predetermined period after completion of the first input, the device is unlocked. The input may also be combined or interpreted as a password or security code. Conversely, if a detected action is interpreted as a continuous or single action by an unlocked device, the device may enter the locked state in response to the detected action. Methods for implementing this transition between locked and unlocked states are also provided.
