Abstract: An overcurrent protective relay includes means for obtaining current values from a power line which are adjusted for application to and use by a processor portion of the relay. The processor evaluates the adjusted power line current values against an overcurrent curve by which, as the current increases from a continuous rating, the time to trip decreases. A thermal limit I2t curve is combined with the time overcurrent curve, the curves being arranged so that the thermal limit curve crosses over the time overcurrent curve at a selected current value. In such a case, the thermal limit curve controls the time to trip for current fault values above the selected current value and the inverse time overcurrent curve controls the time to trip for fault current values below the selected current value.

Abstract: The present invention enables efficient storage and retrieval of signal-strength measurements and geometry-of-arrival measurements for estimating the location of a wireless terminal. A database is populated with signal-strength measurements and geometry-of-arrival measurements for each of a plurality of locations. Subsequent queries to the database enable rapid retrieval of the signal-strength measurements and geometry-of-arrival measurements, and thus enable a computationally-efficient estimate of the location of a wireless terminal based on these measurements. By supplementing signal-strength measurements with geometry-of-arrival measurements, the illustrative embodiment enables a more accurate estimate of location to be made than could be achieved with either the signal-strength measurements or the geometry-of-arrival measurements alone.

Abstract: A multi-channel acousto-optic modulator contains an integrated structure for providing active compensation for transient thermal effects. A plurality of electro-thermal elements in the form of resistive strips are interleaved with acoustic wave launching transducers, to which signals are applied for modulating respective acoustic waves launched into an acousto-optic medium. The resistive strips receive electrical signals that controllably introduce respective thermal energy components into the acousto-optic medium adjacent to the signal launch transducers, in a manner that causes the overall spatial distribution of thermal energy in the acousto-optic medium to have a prescribed characteristic. By establishing an thermal gradient characteristic across all the channels of the RF signal processor, and compensating each channel on an individual basis, the invention effectively compensates for time-dependent variations in heating, resulting in a substantially level thermal behavior.
