  • Adaptive radar
    Patent number: 8314732
    Abstract: A method of classifying items from reflected signals returned from said items is disclosed, the method comprising: processing said return signals to discriminate between a first set of signals indicative of items of interest and a further set of signals indicative of clutter; identifying items from said first set of signals and classifying them as a first class of item; processing said further set of signals to identify a second set of signals indicative of further items of interest; identifying items from said second set of signals and classifying them as a second class of item.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 31, 2008
    Date of Patent: November 20, 2012
    Assignee: Cambridge Consultants Ltd.
    Inventors: Gordon Kenneth Andrew Oswald, Edwin Christopher Carter, Per Arne Vincent Utsi, Samuel Julius Pumphrey, Desmond Keith Phillips, Michael Hugh Burchett, Allan Geoffrey Smithson, Jonathan Peter Edgecombe

  • Detection of thermally induced turbulence in fluids
    Patent number: 6710345
    Abstract: A turbulent fluid, such as a flame, is examined using an array of infrared detector elements. The relationship between the thermal emissions received by different elements at different times is analysed, for example using correlation functions. This enables existence of a flame to be verified and the nature of the flame to be identified.
