  • Patent number: 12644768
    Abstract: An electromagnetic radiation measurement device is disclosed, including an electromagnetic radiation sensor and a reconfigurable filter assembly. The reconfigurable filter assembly has a series of configurations, each configuration of the series filtering to a different wavelength band for measuring by the sensor. The wavelength bands of adjacent configurations of the series overlap thereby to define differential sub-bands. The device also includes a processor configured to utilise sensor measurements for different configurations of the series to derive measurement values for the sub-bands.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4005482
    Abstract: The equivalent of D.C. erase in magnetic tape using a rotating head is accomplished by transmitting a time asymmetric square wave across a rotary transformer to the rotating head. The time asymmetry of the square wave in combination with passage of the square waveform across the rotary transformer creates in the rotating head an erase current asymmetric in amplitude about an average value. The short interval of the square wave has a large amplitude in one direction and the long interval portion of the square wave has a short amplitude in the opposite direction. This current signal in the head produces alternately a large flux bubble above the head and a small flux bubble above the head. By maintaining the relative head to tape speed such that the large flux bubble always overlaps the small flux bubble, the tape can be D.C. erased by an asymmetric waveform.
