Patent EP-0899582-A3 (EP)
Inventor: ALLAND STEPHEN WILLIAM
IPC: G01S13/931
Filed: 1998-07-31
Abstract: A method of operation for a motor vehicle object detection
system in which the extent angle of an identified target is accurately
determined by applying a point source scatterer identification technique to
data at the periphery of a composite return. Return amplitude data from one
or more complete scans of the sensor beam are collected and compared with a
target threshold to identify objects in the viewing angle, thereby forming an
array of amplitude data associated with successive beam positions for each
identified object. In each array, the left-most and right-most pair of amplitude
data points associated with successive beam positions are selected and
individually used to compute the angle of a point source scatterer which would
be responsible for that data pair. The computed scatterer angles are taken as
the left and right edges of the target and used to determine the angle extent of
the identified object, which in turn, enables reliable determination as to
whether the identified object is in or out of the vehicle travel path, and what,
if any, vehicle response is appropriate to maintain a given headway or avoid a
collision with the object.

IPC: B60T8/00

Abstract: At low speeds, an antiskid/autobrake control system applies a brake release
current to the antiskid valves of the brake system associated with selected wheels of
an airplane to prevent brake shudder caused by gear walk. The control system
obtains a measured wheelspeed value from each of the selected wheels and calculates
a reference wheelspeed based the measured wheelspeed. Tests are made to determine
if the reference wheelspeed is below some predetermined magnitude, e.g., 15 knots,
and if the airplane ground speed is below some predetermined magnitude, e.g.,
50 knots. If the tests are passed, the value of a low-speed brake release current to be
applied to the antiskid valves of the airplane's brake system is determined. In order
to prevent an abrupt change in braking, the low-speed brake release value ramps off
as the airplane slows to a stop. Releasing some of the brakes results in the pilot
increasing pressure on the remaining brakes, thereby eliminating brake shudder due
to gear walk. Preferably, the low-speed brake release signal is only generated if a
valid wheelspeed value has been detected in a predetermined period of time, e.g.,
0.5 seconds. Further, a low-speed brake release current is generated only if the low-speed
brake release current is greater than an antiskid control current.

one fuel inlet tube (64). Compressed combustion air is provided to the interior of
the elongated injector tube (75) from either holes (79) or slits (67) therein which receive
compressed air from the angled tube (58) around the fuel injector which is open to
the space between the recuperator housing (41) and the combustor (39).

Abstract: An HDTV down conversion system including apparatus for forming a

video signal from a set of low resolution pixel values corresponding to a residual
image of a current frame of the video signal and from a set of down-sampled low
resolution pixel values corresponding to reference frames of the video signal. The
apparatus includes a memory for storing the set of down-sampled low resolution pixel
values. An up-sampling processor receives from the memory and uses Lagrangian
interpolation to convert the set of down-sampled low resolution pixel values
corresponding to the reference frame of the video signal into a set of up-sampled low
resolution pixel values corresponding to the reference frame of the video signal. A
summing processor adds the set of low resolution pixel values corresponding to the
residual image of the current frame of the video signal to the set of up-sampled low
resolution pixel values corresponding to the reference frame of the video signal to
form a set of low resolution pixel values corresponding to the current frame of the
video signal. A decimating processor deletes selected ones of the set of low resolution
pixel values corresponding to the current frame to generate the set of low resolution
down-sampled pixel values corresponding to the current frame of the video signal.

Abstract: An automatic sub-floor pumping system, having a controller box, sensor wires (28,29,30),
suction hose (27) and pump (17). Two or three sensor probes (33,35,36) are used - the lowest, or ground, probe

water from beneath the basement floor (25) through a hose (27) inserted into a small hole (31) drilled

1/8" to 1/2" bared,

hose, with wires attached, is inserted down the one-inch evacuation hole bored through the

ground so as to be cathodically protected from corrosion. An optional sensing circuit
monitors lower probe wire voltage and warns of possible corrosion effects.
