  • Automated fire control apparatus
    Patent number: 4004729
    Abstract: Improved automated fire control apparatus includes servomotor positioned weapon(s), range-determining radar, optical sight and controller, and a data processor. Multiple, improved feedback network organizations are provided to control the optical sighting path vis-a-vis gun mount for automated lead angle implementation under overall gunner supervision. Thus, for example, optical line of sight deflection is controlled, inter alia, by radar antenna positioning, target flight projection computations as well as manual gunner signal entry.

  • R.F. power distribution network for phased antenna array
    Patent number: 4005379
    Abstract: An r.f. power distribution network or scanner in which a TEM mode and a pair of selectively phase-shifted TE.sub.11 modes are derived and applied to input ports of a cavity resonator to produce a desired r.f. power distribution at a plurality of output ports. The resonator is in the form of a generally cylindrical member in which the output ports are arranged circumferentially about the periphery and axially spaced from the TE.sub.11 mode input ports. The latter are arranged symmetrically about the TEM mode input port.

  • Performance assurance apparatus for phased antenna array drives
    Patent number: 4005361
    Abstract: A circuit for monitoring the accuracy of the phase shift produced in an r.f. power distribution network in which the phase shift network includes diodes, means for sensing the conductive state of the terminating diodes, and structure for comparing the state of the diodes against a desired condition to provide a warning indication in the event the diodes are not in the proper condition to provide the desired phase shift.

  • Workpiece feeding device
    Patent number: 3988017
    Abstract: A device for feeding letter mail and the like from a stack of such non-uniform sheet-like articles for individual workpiece processing wherein a plurality of friction feeders define a path for the transfer of mail from the stack and are driven in a pulsing mode interdependently under the control of photoelectric cells to facilitate the automatic separation of workpiece doubles.
