  • Publication number: 20240275066
    Abstract: According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an antenna array arranged to control a radar response of a target, comprising multiple ultra wideband antennas, wherein each of said multiple antennas is coupled to a separate switch, and each switch is arranged to control one of said multiple antennas such that when said one antenna is connected to a load, preferably matched load, said one antenna acts as an absorber, and when said one antenna is electrically shorted, said one antenna acts as a reflector, wherein at least one of said multiple antennas is arranged to be electrically shorted at a first time instant and the at least one of said multiple antennas is arranged to be connected to a load, preferably matched load, at a second time instant, and at least one other of said multiple antennas is arranged to be connected to a load, preferably matched load, at the first time instant and the at least one other of said multiple antennas is arranged to be electrically shorted at the sec

  • Patent number: 12018925
    Abstract: A wireless electronic initiation device for a detonator via a shock tube comprises an initiation member for initiation the shock tube and an energy storage for providing initiation energy to said initiation member. The initiation device comprises also a wireless communication device with a receiver for receiving an initiation command in a wireless way from an initiation arrangement. The initiation device comprises also a controller, which is configured to determine said received initiation command and based on said received initiation command configured to activate said initiation member to ignite the detonator initiator (108) by the energy fed from the energy storage.

  • Patent number: 9995714
    Abstract: There is provided an apparatus for monitoring a condition of an elongated ferrous object having a longitudinal axis, said apparatus including at least one magnetizing circuit including magnetic poles separated along the longitudinal axis, and magnetic field sensors arranged at the poles, said poles including pole shoes for directing magnetic flux between the poles and the monitored object. The pole shoes include openings between the monitored object and the poles, an opening including two ends separated in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis by a mid-section defining a smaller opening than the ends for concentrating the magnetic flux at the mid-section. There is further provided an arrangement including one or more elongated objects for hoisting payload, wherein the monitoring apparatus is attached to the elongated objects.
