Publication number: 20020117614Abstract: A system for criticality incident detection is described. The system comprises a plurality of sensors at least partially comprised of storage phosphors. The sensors are distributed throughout the environment to be monitored. The sensors are coupled to a central detection system comprised of at least a luminescence detector and a processor. The luminescence detector measures the luminance of the sensors and provides that measurement to the processor. The processor then calculates the radiation level that the luminance measurement corresponds to. In other embodiments, monitoring units are installed in various portions of the environment being monitored. The monitoring units accept the sensors and are coupled to the central detection system so that the remote monitoring units can be interrogated from the central detection system.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2002Publication date: August 29, 2002Applicant: British Nuclear Fuels PLCInventors: Brian Robert More, Thomas Stephen Nobes, Sven Glyn Roden, Graham John Wilson, John Brian Wright, David Arthur Andrews, Benjamin Matthew William Bradford

Patent number: 6388463Abstract: In a system for the transmission of logic levels via a bus the recessive level, being of higher impedance in comparison with the dominant level, is not adjusted by means of a resistor but by means of a termination arrangement with three break points in the current/voltage diagram. In the third quadrant of the current/voltage diagram this termination arrangement has a resistance which is higher than that of a lead terminated by means of a linear resistor. In the first quadrant the rise of the characteristic up to a voltage below a receiving threshold is steeper than in the case of termination by means of a resistor. Subsequently, in the first quadrant the characteristic is subject to a current limitation which is effective from a voltage below the receiving threshold to a value beyond the working point of the dominant driver. Beyond the working point of the dominant driver the current limitation is removed again, so that the rise is steeper than in the case of termination by means of a resistor.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 1999Date of Patent: May 14, 2002Assignee: U.S. Philips CorporationInventor: Robert Mores

Patent number: 6148409Abstract: In an electronic system for the transmission of data between a plurality of stations the control signals and functions of the basic elements of power supply, watchdog and signal converter in each station are linked to one another so as to ensure that the number of possible modes of operation, taken for all the elements, is reduced to a number necessary for the corresponding task and thereby guarantees a more reliable operation. Moreover, the linkage leads to an optimum default behavior of the station with regard to application-specific power-saving and safety requirements, even when, for example, the malfunction of the microcontroller of the station persists.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 1998Date of Patent: November 14, 2000Assignee: U.S. Philips CorporationInventor: Robert Mores

Patent number: 6111443Abstract: Generally speaking, steep signal edges are required for the processing of digital signals; however, notably externally supplied signals which are conducted, for example, via long cables are liable to have comparatively flat signal edges. By selecting appropriate switching thresholds, delays between an input signal and an output signal of a circuit can be minimized. The circuit selects the first switching threshold at a low value of the input signal and switches the first threshold value to a second, higher threshold value when the input signal exceeds a further, higher threshold value. Thus, an output signal is generated comparatively quickly after the beginning of the positive-going or negative-going edge of the input signal. This can be realized by switching over the switching threshold of a comparator or by utilizing two comparators.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 1998Date of Patent: August 29, 2000Assignee: U.S. Philips CorporationInventors: Robert Mores, Harald Eisele

Patent number: 6097761Abstract: Power and data are both transmitted over a single transmission line to which a power source and a number of stations are connected. A bipolar AC voltage is supplied to the line by the power source, the half cycle pulses of one polarity being used for supply of power only, while transmission of data is achieved by modulation exclusively of the half cycle pulses of the other polarity. High power is supplied to the stations by providing pulses of the one polarity at a low ohmic level. Only low power is required for modulation for the purpose of data transmission, and so the pulses of the other polarity are supplied at a relatively high ohmic level. Thus, only two conductors are required, one of which can be replaced by the system ground in the simplest case. If three conductors are provided, it is possible to achieve improved tolerance of defects in a conductor.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 1998Date of Patent: August 1, 2000Assignee: U.S. Philips CorporationInventors: Peter Buhring, Robert Mores, Egon Johnk
