Title: Sightline stabilisation system using inertial reference sensors
Inventor: WATSON NORMAN FREDERICK
IPC: G01C21/18
Filed: 1998-12-23
Abstract: A sightline stabilisation system comprises a base unit 1, on which is mounted inertial reference sensors 13 for determining the rates of rotation of the base unit 1 about its free axes. Attached to the base unit 1 is an optical device 2 having a sightline S incident on a gimbal mounted mirror 6, the position of which controls the sightline direction. Inertial reference sensors 19 and 20, mounted on the mirror 6, determine angular displacement of the mirror. Data from these inertial reference sensors 19 and 20 together with data obtained from the inertial reference sensors 13 enable a processor 21 to determine the position of the mirror 6 relative to the base 1. The processor then controls the position of the mirror accordingly, using gimbal drive motors 4 and 10. The inertial reference sensors may be angular rate sensing gyroscopes or angular accelerometers. Use of inertial reference sensors on the mirror 6 improves the high frequency performance of the sightline stabilisation system.
Patent GB-986275-A (GB)
Abstract: 986,275. Calculating apparatus;automatic division. OLYMPIA WERKE A. G. Feb. 7, 1962 [Feb. 11, 1961],No.4696/62. Heading G4B. Means are provided to align a divisor, set in a pin carriage 23,with the dividend preparatory to automatic division by repeated subtraction. A pawl is also moved to the appropriate position of the quotient register. With each order of the result register in which the dividend is set is associated a stop slide 17 which is moved out of the path of a lug 22 on the pin register if an actuator 27 moves indicating the presence or entry of a non-zero digit into the result register. The end parts 21, 24 of a stop slide are so constructed that stop slides associated with significant zeroes are moved by the higher order stop slides. The dividend can already be set in the result register or may be set in the usual way. Entry of dividend, setting the stops. The dividend is keyed into pin carriage 23 and the dividend key 50 is pressed. In the first half cycle actuators 27 are released in known manner to abut projecting pins of the carriage 23. Key 50 rotates lever 42 clockwise so that lug 41 engages shoulder 40a. In the second half cycle the result register (not shown) is brought into engagement with the actuators,which involves clockwise rotation of shaft 43,and the actuators are returned. Rotation of shaft 43 releases lever 33 from pin 35 which releases lever 31 to spring 34, rotating bail 20 anticlockwise. Under the action of springs 19 stop slides 17 move to the right and upward until restrained by bar 28 unless prevented by part 26 of an unmoved actuator 27. When the other actuators are returned the stop slides bearing on bar 28 are moved to the left entraining those stop slides associated with significant zeroes. Finally, lever 31 is rocked by cam 38 to swing bail 20 clockwise locking those stop slides 17 which have been returned to the left. If the dividend is already in the result register,a subtotal key 50a is pressed to set the stop slides 17. Shaft 43 is rotated in the first half cycle rather than the second but the action is as described above. Entry of divisor. The divisor is keyed into pin carriage 23 and division key 14 is pressed. This rotates yoke 8 clockwise pivoting the bracket 1 carrying stop slides 17 so that the part 21 of those stops in the right hand position now lies in the path of lug 22 on the pig carriage when it is released. Fixed on a shaft 52 (Fig. 5) is a lever 53 having a projection 55 bearing on pin 10 of yoke 8 and a lever 54 carrying a square shaft 56 on which slides a pawl 58 which actuates the number wheels 62 of the quotient register. Sliding on shaft 52 is a yoke 64 spring connected with pawl 58 and having a comb 64a when yoke 8 is rotated clockwise by the division key shaft 52 is turned by lever 53, lever 53 is rotated anti-clockwise and, by means of the spring connection between pawl 58 and yoke 64, comb 64a engages the pin carriage 23. When the pin carriage is arrested by a stop slide 17, pawl 58 is lined up with the appropriate order of the quotient register. If the divisor is greater than the dividend depression of the division key is prevented.

Title: Method of and apparatus for filtering intermodulation products in a radiocommunication system
Inventor: CHARAS PHILIPPE
IPC: H04Q7/36
Filed: 1997-08-26
Abstract: An improved feed-forward multicarrier power amplifier architecture is described along with a novel array antenna wherein the improved amplifier may be advantageously put to use. The improved amplifier provides for independent control of unwanted intermodulation products generated in the amplifier. When used in the novel array structure, a separate radiation lobe containing the unwanted intermodulation products may be steered independently from a main radiation lobe. In a cellular base station application, the radiation lobe containing the unwanted intermodulation products may be steered away from the main radiation lobe thereby providing spatial filtering of the unwanted signals. The radiation lobe containing the unwanted intermodulation products may be steered rapidly in time using, for example, a noise like function to provide statistical averaging of the interference in the direction of desired communications.
