  • Patent number: 5741074
    Abstract: A Linear Integrated Sensing Transmitter Sensor for measuring and reporting temperature has a housing defining a cavity therethrough, a resistance temperature within the housing, and a transmitter disposed within the housing connected to the resistance temperature detector for providing a current which is a linear function of the temperature sensed by the resistance temperature detector. The transmitter further includes an excitation current means for applying an excitation current to the resistance temperature detector, a converter means for converting a detected voltage to a current, and a feedback means for adjusting a feedback current to maintain the voltage as a linear function of the temperature sensed.

  • Patent number: H126
    Abstract: Random beam positioning for an E-scan radar system having an electronically teerable antenna is controlled by a digital computer which is programmed to generate lists or files of portions of the desired area of surveillance. Two separate lists are generated corresponding to the forward and rear postions of the area of coverage. These lists are thereafter independently randomized and combined to generate beam position commands for the desired surveillance region, thereby providing full radar coverage over a desired region while decreasing the probability of being tracked by an undesired detector.
