Abstract: A system and method for determining a position of a remote object comprising inertial sensors and three axis magnetic sensor, together with a target sighting device aligned with the observation platform to determine a target line of sight and a target range finder to determine a distance to the target along the line of sight. A GPS receiver may be included for determining an observation platform position and orientation, The three axis magnetic sensor provides both magnetic north and vertical attitude information for improved rapid initialization and operation in motion. Magnetic anomaly information is detected by comparing IMU and magnetic navigation information and by other methods. Target identification may be determined by a human operator and/or by computer. The system may be integrated with a weapon system to use weapon system sights. The system may be networked to provide target location and/or location error information to another identical unit or a command information system.

Abstract: A head for an electric toothbrush having first and second brush parts, one of which is rotary and the other is reciprocally moveable or static. Preferred forms have elastomeric oral hygiene parts, and electric toothbrush heads with novel “V” sectioned oral hygiene parts are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for treating eating disorders comprising the steps of generating a neuro-electrical satiety signal that substantially corresponds to a neuro-electrical signal that is generated in a body and produces a satiety effect in the body, sensing food intake in a subject over at least a first period of time, and transmitting the neuro-electrical satiety signal to the subject if the food intake of the subject exceeds a predetermined threshold level during the first period of time.

Abstract: In a communications system, a multi-band power amplifier is employed to increase the power level of a signal for transmission over one of multiple frequency bands. In addition, a multi-band low noise amplifier is employed to scale the signal level of a signal received from one of the multiple frequency bands. In accordance with the invention, each multi-band amplifier is designed such that the gain values afforded by the amplifier to the components of the communication signal within the multiple frequency bands are significantly higher than the gain values to the signal components outside those bands.

Abstract: The disclosed method of making a semiconductor device comprises a screening procedure that facilitates identification of devices having relatively low flicker noise. The devices are typically semiconductor diodes. The procedure utilizes our discovery of a correlation between the reverse bias current I.sub.r of a semiconductor device and the flicker noise power, and comprises measurement of the reverse bias current and comparison of the measured value with a predetermined comparison value I.sub.rc. Devices having I.sub.r .ltoreq.I.sub.rc are those that have relatively low flicker noise. The screening procedure is simple and quick, and can be readily performed in a manufacturing environment.

Abstract: A cell liner for an electrolytic cell which covers the base plate of the cell is adapted to provide an effective seal between the base plate and the cover of the cell. Around the perimeter of the liner extends a sealing device having two parallel ribs defining a channel for receiving an elongated elastomeric extrusion of circular cross-section. The extrusion is adapted to sealably contact the sealing rim of the top cover.

Abstract: Vinylidene halides in gaseous or aqueous process streams may be oxidized effectively by contacting them with permanganic acid, at least one alkali metal permanganate, at least one alkaline earth metal permanganate, or a mixture thereof.
