Abstract: An optical fiber-guided projectile (20) launch system for firing from a generally tubular launcher comprising a projectile having tubular casing (22), an extended length of optical fiber (44) disposed in the casing for continuous streaming from the trailing end thereof, a portion of the fiber extending from the casing for operative connection to a controller, an axial groove (52) in the casing surface for removably receiving a part of the extending fiber, tape securing the fiber part in the groove with force sufficient to withstand axial launch forces but insufficient to resist imposed radial forces, and a communication device providing two-way communication over the fiber. An alternative embodiment uses an un-grooved projectile casing with a tube launcher having a preformed fiber relief-groove in the inner peripheral surface and a discarding sabot having a tab member receivable in the relief. For both embodiments, a controller is provided in two-way communication with the projectile for receiving and processing target data from the projectile and for transmitting guidance data, including operator manual guidance, to the projectile, and an adaptor is provided for guiding fiber streaming axially from a wound bobbin in the projectile.

Abstract: The carriage of a digital document reader is shifted by means of a pair of worms (27) rotatable in the frame and engaging two nuts (26) at the two ends of the carriage. The worms are rotated simultaneously, e.g. by a single stepping motor (32) and a toothed belt (30) engaging pulleys integral with the worms (27). 
     For the purpose of reducing inertia, each worm (27) is formed together with its driving pulley by moulding a layer of plastics material on a metal core tube. The carriage supports reading elements (22) for reading a document on a support surface (10). A second carriage (143) has two nuts (42) at its ends and these engage two further worms (31) parallel to the first worms (27) and mounted on the first carriage. The second carriage (143) moves relative to the first carriage to move different colour filters into the path to the reading elements (22).

Abstract: A system predicts the coefficient of friction (µ) between a vehicle and the road surface over which the vehicle is travelling. Sensors (A) are provided which generate data on the condition of the road surface, the vehicle, and the ambient conditions. Each sensor has a low-level processor (B) which generates an estimate of µ in some cases by analysing the data from other sensors. The intermediate-level processors (C) then combine the low-level processed data to generate the estimates of µ based on the road surface, the vehicle and the ambient conditions. These three values are combined in a high-level processor (D) to generate a value of µ for the vehicle and signals for suitably modifying the performance of e.g. the braking system.
