Abstract: Compressed gas planetary piston engine (34) uses an energy carrier which is stored in the cold state before being injected into the operating cycle in a cold-insulated tank (1). The ambient heat produces a gas pressure in the tank via vaporization of the working medium and regulated as operating pressure via a control unit (8). Preferred Features: The working pistons are divided and consist of piston pairs (29, 30). The piston pairs have a semi-circular shape. Permanent magnets or electromagnets (33) together until the Laval pressure in a diffuser unit (26) is reached. The magnets pull the piston pairs back together during a push stroke.

Abstract: An adjustable compound optical microlens apparatus comprises first and second microlenses that are separated from one another along their optical axes. At least one of the microlenses is movable relative to the other. In a preferred embodiment, one microlens is stationary, the other movable. A MEMS controller electrically controls the position of the movable microlens relative to the stationary microlens, or the positions of at least two movable microlenses relative to one another. In a preferred embodiment, one microlens element is stationary, the other movable. A MEMS controller electrically controls the position of the movable microlens relative to the other. In accordance with one embodiment of our invention, an array of such microlens apparatuses is also contemplated, especially for applications such optical switches and routers. In accordance with another embodiment of our invention, the facing optical surfaces of the microlenses include partially transmissive metal coatings, so that the apparatus functions as an optical filter or dispersion compensator. Also described is method of compensating for variations in an optical parameter (e.g., effective focal length) of a first apparatus in an array comprises the steps of: (a) determining that the first apparatus in the array has a value of the parameter different from a predetermined standard value; and (b) applying an electrical signal to the MEMS controller of the first apparatus, thereby causing the controller to perform a mechanical action that makes the value of the parameter of the first apparatus closer to the standard value. (Illustratively, the mechanical action alters the separation and/or tilt between a pair of microlenses in the first apparatus.) In one embodiment, the standard value is stored (for example, in a computer), and in another embodiment it is determined by the value of the same parameter of a second apparatus in the array. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>

Abstract: The signals within a packet of transient signals are generated at timings corresponding to a binary pulse sequence having an autocorrelation function which, for all non-zero shifts, has a value which is substantially smaller than the maximum value at zero shift. The times of occurrence of the signals within a packet are such that the minimum gap between adjacent pulses in the corresponding binary pulse sequence exceeds a predetermined value, whereby the autocorrelation function of the binary pulse sequence exhibits a zero value for consecutive relative shifts which do not exceed a predetermined limit. Each transient signal may be a randomly-selected waveform with predetermined characteristics. At least one packet may be based on a composite sequence including a first binary pulse sequence interleaved with a second binary pulse sequence which is a time-reversed replica of the first binary pulse sequence, at least a substantial number of the transient signals corresponding to each binary pulse sequence being distinguishable from those corresponding to the other binary pulse sequence. <IMAGE>
