Abstract: An energy meter at an electrical substation contains a detector which chas state each time a quantity of energy is consumed. This data is accumulated in a microprocessor system. Real time energy consumption data is fed back to a customer monitoring station and may be telemetered to a power company central billing station. Customer and power company have their demand periods synchronized by the microprocessor system.

Abstract: A method for performing binary integration of fixed cell radar alarm data. n order to determine whether M cell alarms have occurred in the last N processing intervals a memory is provided which is N bits wide by K words long, where K is the number of cells. Binary 1's are placed in memory positions corresponding to timing intervals at which alarms have occurred and binary 0's are placed in positions corresponding to timing intervals at which alarms have not occurred. A serial comparison with a register having M bits stored is made to determine which of the words contains at least M binary 1's.

Abstract: A multi-axis scanning technique and system for achieving same are provided or digitizing micro-documentation with a pulsed laser beam scanner. Micro-documentation such as a 35mm aperture card reduction of an E-size engineering drawing is incrementally advanced into the path of the scanner and each incremental area is scanned in a predetermined sequence of discrete areas. These discrete areas provide data which is subject to vector and area compaction techniques.
