  • Publication number: 20120141086
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cable gland (1) having a flange (3) and a plug-in part (2) suited for an operational connection to the flange (3). The plug-in part (2) comprises a locking sleeve (4), and a fastener (7) for a connector (8), said fastener being operatively connected to said locking sleeve by way of a control slide (10). The control slide (10) is configured such that a rotation of the locking sleeve (4) around the longitudinal axis (x) of the plug-in part (2) results in an axial displacement of the fastener (7) in a longitudinal direction.

  • Publication number: 20120102169
    Abstract: A system to automatically classify types of IP addresses associated with a user. Information, such as user names, machine information, IP address, etc., may be obtained from logs. For each user or host in the logs, home IP addresses are identified from IP addresses where the user or host shows a predetermined level of activity. Travel IP addresses are identified, which are IP addresses at locations greater than a predetermined distance from the home IP addresses, as determined from geolocation data. A pattern analysis may be performed to determine which of the home IP addresses are work IP addresses associated with the user or host. The system may thus provide a classification of a user's or host's associated IP addresses as being one of travel, home, and work IP addresses. From this classification, mobility patterns may be derived, as well as applications to enhance security, advertising, search and network management.

  • Publication number: 20090295625
    Abstract: A process for optimizing the operation of an active lateral-view sensor when the height above the surface to be detected is variable, includes the following steps: i) continuously determining the height of the lateral-view sensor above the surface to be detected, and ii) adjusting the scanning beams emitted by the lateral-view sensor for scanning the surface to be detected by roll rotation as a function of the determined height of the lateral-view sensor such that variation of the surface to be detected is reduced during the orbit of the lateral-view sensor.

  • Patent number: 7336217
    Abstract: In a method for interferometric radar measurement, at least two side looking RADAR systems on satellite and/or missile-supported platforms illuminate a common surface area by means of microwave signals. A first side looking RADAR system sends a first radar signal on a first transmit frequency, and at least a second side looking RADAR system sends at least a second radar signal on at least a second transmit frequency. At least one of the at least two side looking RADAR systems receives the at least two interfering radar signals reflected on the common surface area, determines difference phases of the received radar signals from the interferograms, determines therefrom a drift of a system clock of the at least two side looking RADAR systems, and compensates the determined drift.

  • Patent number: 7209072
    Abstract: A method of radar measurement by transmitting and receiving radar signals with at least two spatially separated radar systems. The method further includes exchanging reference radar signals between the at least two radar systems to determine measurement-relevant parameters. Moreover, a determination of at least one of a relative phase relationship of the reference radar signals of the radar systems and a relative time position of time references of the radar systems is based on reference radar signals received. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

  • Publication number: 20060164288
    Abstract: In a method for interferometric radar measurement, at least two synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems on satellite and/or missile-supported platforms illuminate a common surface area by means of microwave signals. A first SAR system sends a first radar signal on a first transmit frequency, and at least a second SAR system sends at least a second radar signal on at least a second transmit frequency. At least one of the at least two SAR systems receives the at least two interfering radar signals reflected on the common surface area, determines difference phases of the received radar signals from the interferograms, determines therefrom a drift of a system clock of the at least two SAR systems, and compensates the determined drift.

  • Patent number: 6014513
    Abstract: A computer software tool used for automatically identifying code portions and data portions of a binary executable software program in which the code portions include machine instructions that are of arbitrary length. Software products are typically distributed as binary, executable files, which comprise a string of binary values. In general, an executable file has no structure or meaning, except as determined by its behavior when dynamically executed, one instruction at a time, by a digital computer. The software tool determines a set of addresses for any known code and data portions. The tool is then used to disassemble machine instructions, beginning at a starting address for each known code portion, to identify the target addresses of other code portions and other data portions. Other sections of the binary executable software program that could be either code or data are then analyzed to identify additionAL code and data portions.

  • Patent number: 5953534
    Abstract: A method and procedure for modifying modules comprising a binary executable software program in such a way that, despite the transformations performed and the creation of new versions of the modules, the transformed program appears (to that program, including all of its components) as if it is running in the identical environment as the original program. The environment includes environment variables, the name of the program, the names of all of the dynamically loaded library (DLL) files that the program references, the directory in which the program resides, and the current directory at the time the program started execution. When the program has been transformed, e.g., for the purposes of monitoring or measurement, the environment also includes the effective addresses of data and instruction references made by the program.
