Abstract: Odours are evaluated in relation to a target by testing a subject by presenting the subject with one or more odours under different conditions, at least some being in the presence of one or more targets; monitoring brain activity, preferably electrical activity of the subject; and evaluating the monitored brain activity in relation to odour/target combinations presented to the subject. Evaluation of brain activity for odour/target combinations presented to the subject provides a measure of the degree of association between the odour and target in a particular odour/target combinations. These measures can be compared and used as a basis of odour selection.

Abstract: A hydraulic coupling for use in motor vehicle driveline applications to limit speed differentiation and transfer drive torque between two rotary members. The hydraulic coupling includes a multi-plate clutch assembly operably connecting the two relatively rotatable members, and a sealed actuator assembly for actuating the clutch assembly in response to the magnitude of speed differentiation between the two rotary members. The actuator assembly includes a hydraulic pump and a piston which are sealed relative to the clutch assembly. The sealed actuator assembly includes an internal recirculation path for supplying hydraulic fluid retained therein between a low pressure supply chamber at the inlet side of the hydraulic pump and a high pressure piston chamber provided at the discharge side of the hydraulic pump. Hydraulic pressure in the piston chamber controls the magnitude of the clutch engagement force exerted by the piston on the clutch assembly. As a further feature, the recirculation path includes a flow restrictor which provides a bleed flow path for supplying high pressure fluid from the piston chamber to the supply chamber following cessation of the pumping action to release the clutch assembly.

Abstract: In accordance with the disclosed method and arrangement, for purpose of client authentication, private keys for digital certificates, or in general, any private or secret information that is necessary for client authentication can be stored in a personal SIM-card/smartcard and used in combination with the mobile telephone as a security gateway upon establishment of a IPsec tunnel. An employee staying away from his ordinary office may, by means of a personal independent access unit functioning as a security gateway, communicate with the protected Intranet of his employer. Such a scenario enables the employee to borrow any remote host in order to access the Intranet by means of a mobile communication network or a fix network, e.g. PSTN. The solution is to move the security function to the mobile telephone or the independent access unit, preferably a wireless independent access unit, where a lightweight security gateway or firewall is implemented. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for accurately determining the distance (range) between one or more satellites and a user terminal and the rate of change (range rate) of that distance. When accurately determined according to the present invention, these quantities can be used to determine the location of the user terminal with a high degree of accuracy. When one satellite is available, the present invention determines the range and range rate based on the Doppler frequency shift that a signal experiences between the satellite and the user terminal, the round trip delay a signal experiences during transmission from the satellite to the user terminal and back via a satellite to a gateway, the Doppler frequency shift a signal experiences between the satellite and the gateway, and the timestamps of the measurements. When a second satellite is available, the present invention determines the range and range rate between the second satellite and the user terminal based on the round trip delay, the Doppler frequency shift that a signal experiences between the second satellite and the user terminal, and the difference in arrival times at the user terminal of the signals from the satellites.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a radar system which comprises a platform which moves over a number of objects. The number of objects can be very large and the objects can appear in the form of, for example, a ground surface. The platform supports radar equipment which reproduces the objects by means of synthetic aperture technique (SAR) via at least one antenna without requirements as to directivity or fractional bandwidth. Moreover, the movement of the platform is, during the recording of data for a SAR image, essentially rectilinear and uniform. The invention is characterized mainly in that it comprises a signal-processing device which records received radar echoes from each transmitted radar pulse and records or calculates the position of the used antenna or antennae, and which calculates a one-parameter quantity of two-dimensional SAR images as a function of two image co-ordinates where the parameter is the relative speed. Here use is made of the fact that each object, i.e. a radar echo with certain image co-ordinates, is reproduced at a maximum ratio of desired to undesired signal for a predetermined value of the relative speed parameter, which value is established to be the magnitude of the relative velocity vector between the object and the platform. In the calculation, the signal-processing device backprojects radar raw data in a hierarchical scheme, where each level is based only on the immediately preceding one, and where the summation of radar raw data occurs in the form of subapertures having a gradually increasing length.
