Abstract: A method is described which enables the location of a radio frequency emitting target in absolute or relative GPS coordinates from a single airborne platform within a few seconds. The method uses a signal processing technique which emulates an antenna moving at very high velocities to induce a Virtual Doppler shift on signals incident upon a linear antenna array. The Virtual Doppler shift is directly proportional to the signal direction of arrival as measured by its direction cosine. The method is shown to prevent single and multiple GPS jammers from being able to jam conventional GPS signals. Also disclosed is a means and method for developing virtual Doppler shifted signals to determine the angle-angle bearing of emitting targets to high resolution. This in turn, allows the position of the emitter to be determined in a GPS reference frame to be located to a high degree of accuracy from a single platform in extremely short times.

Abstract: An improved heat transfer column for geothermal heating and cooling in which refrigerant lines are wound about a thin wall vertically oriented tube. The tube is surrounded by a flexible liner which is filled with water, the liner being positioned within a cavity in an earth mass. During operation, water within the tube rises by convection and transfers heat evenly to the water within the liner for subsequent transfer to the earth mass. This heat is subsequently extracted from the earth mass during a heating cycle, and means is provided for transfer of a portion of the heat in the water to the ambient atmosphere.

Abstract: A threaded closure for pressurized containers, typically for carbonated beverages is disclosed. The closure includes a deformable liner of non-vinyl polymer which is cold formed in the closure using known techniques in such manner that the liner physically bonds to the inner surface of the end wall of the closure to be retained thereby in the absence of a peripheral lip or projections on the inner surface of the end wall of the closure. The closure itself may be either injection molded or compression molded. The usual tamper indicating ring is formed to include frangible bridge members either by molding or a separate slitting operation. The pivotally mounted tabs for separating the tamper-indicating ring are sufficiently rigid to avoid flexing at points other than at an outer edge hinge axis where pivoting is possible only to a limited degree, thus assuring the severing of the frangible bridge members at an early stage of opening of the closure.
