Abstract: A method and system which enable the automatic adjustment of the rotational speed of a radar antenna in a radar system having a continuously rotating radar antenna based on where objects are being detected. The automatic adjustment of the rotational speed of the radar antenna is controlled by a controller integrated with the radar system and is based on the bearing of the emitting antenna relative to objects being detected. The method relies on continuously reading the angular position of the antenna and corresponding the presence of detected objects to this angular position so as to automatically adjust the speed of the antenna to slow down the antenna while it is directing wave signals towards detected targets and speed up the antenna while it is directing wave signals in a direction where there are no detected objects.

Abstract: A method and system which enable the automatic activation and/or deactivation of the emission of radar wave signals from a radar system having a continuous rotating radar antenna. The automatic activation and/or deactivation of the emission of radar wave signal is controlled by a controller integrated with the radar system and is based on the bearing of the emitting antenna. The method relies on continuously reading the angular position of the antenna and allowing the flow of the electromagnetic wave frequency alternating current from the radar system's transmitter to the antenna only while the angle of the antenna is within a desired range. In some embodiments, the method and system may be provided with the desired range while in others, the method and system is operative to calculate the desired ranged based on the position and movement of the radar system relative to the position of a known target.

Abstract: A method involves using a first software module loaded within a storage device to publish a first paint method under a first window object, the first window object covering a first portion of a display operatively connected to the storage device, using a second software module loaded within the storage device to publish a second paint method under a second window object, wherein the second window object at least partially overlaps the first window object and at least partially covers the first portion of the display, and displaying data within the first portion of the display by calling the first paint method and the second paint method in order based upon a property, such as a hierarchical-based property, of both the first window object and the second window object, where data originates from more than one hardware devices operatively connected to the storage device.

Abstract: A co-axial crankless engine (1) having at least one cylinder (3) defining a longitudinally extending axis (XX). A pair of pistons (5, 6) are positioned to reciprocate in opposite directions along the longitudinal axis of the cylinder. A space (7) between the pistons defines a common combustion chamber (70). A first shaft (10) is positioned substantially parallel to and spaced laterally from the longitudinal axis of the cylinder. A second shaft (12) is positioned substantially parallel to and spaced laterally from the longitudinal axis of the cylinder. The second shaft (12) has a longitudinally extending bore (14) through which the first shaft can extend and rotate. Each piston is connected to an axially spaced cam (16, 17). A first cam being supported by the first shaft, a second cam being supported by the second shaft. In use, reciprocation of the pistons imparts on respective shafts rotating motion in opposite directions to drive the engine.
