  • Publication number: 20020029716
    Abstract: A munition article is to be provided with an antenna which, by virtue of a characteristic which is uniform all around, permits interference-free reception of items of satellite navigation information, even if in the manner of an artillery projectile it is fired with spin along an elongate ballistic trajectory, so that a tail antenna with a spherical characteristic does not allow the expectation of good reception factors in relation to navigation satellites which are as high as possible above the horizon. Therefore the tip (10) of the fuse tip (11) of the projectile is equipped with a dipole satellite antenna which faces in the direction of flight. Connected to the dipole (13) which is arranged concentrically with respect to the longitudinal axis (14) of the projectile are symmetrically disposed conductor portions (15) which rest with a close fit in recesses (19) in the ballistic cap (12).

  • Patent number: 6137436
    Abstract: A pseudo-noise-modulated spread spectrum is irradiated undirectedly--or, encoded by different modulation, into mutually displaced spatial sectors--and the energy (20) received after reflection at a potential target (13) is cross-correlated, using the pseudo-noise code which is predetermined at the transmission end, in order to provide a spherical monitoring effect which is continuous but which cannot be located in respect of its origin, to provide a warning in particular for marine craft, land vehicles and aircraft against an attacking guided missile as the target (13) to be repelled, and in order to be able to transfer to a target tracker (12) distance and speed information obtained from the correlation product, with the alarm signal, if the alarm sensor (11) is not itself also used as the tracking sensor.

  • Patent number: 5681988
    Abstract: An apparatus for indicating the extent to which an air filter in an internal combustion engine is fouled. For this purpose the apparatus includes a pressure sensor, a sensor to detect the rotational speed of the engine, and an additional sensor which determines the load state of the engine. The signals of the three sensors are combined and serve to produce an air filter dirtiness indicating signal.

  • Patent number: 4671145
    Abstract: Before being coated with the magnetizable material, the substrate plates are machined on a precision turning lathe in such a way that the annular surface provided for the storage area is convexly arched on both sides of the plate. For this purpose, the substrate plate, during machining, is held on the chuck in a concave arch of the annular surface and machined flat with a purely radial free movement of the cutting tool, or held on a flat chuck and turned down under a feed movement of the tool, which feed movement corresponds to the required convex arching of the annular surface. In the first machining method, the elastically deformed substrate plate, after removal from the chuck, loses tension and forms a convexly arched annular surface.

  • Patent number: 4475136
    Abstract: A device for positioning objects which have a low mass, especially for positioning magnetic heads over preselected magnetic tracks on at least one magnetic disk, which can be coupled to a drive, in a memory processing unit, in which a carriage, which is capable of being moved toward and away from the axis of rotation of the magnetic disk, carries at least one magnetic head, this carriage being so mounted between guide elements that it can be displaced by a drive motor longitudinally with respect to the chassis of the unit, wherein the guide elements, in particular pairs of anti-friction bearings, engage either side of the carriage, at least one of the pairs of anti-friction bearings being gimbal-mounted in order to counteract any tilting moments which may act on the carriage. The device advantageously includes a band-type drive mechanism for displacing the carriage, comprising a rotatable cylindrical member around which the band means is wound and which may serve as an additional bearing element.

  • Patent number: 4205393
    Abstract: A magnetic domain storage device comprising a ferromagnetic, polycrystalline metal layer which is applied to a support and comprises areas of different coercivity, the areas of lower coercivity in the form of strip-shaped channels being surrounded by areas of higher coercivity; a system of electrical conductors, extending in planes arranged parallel and in close vicinity to the ferromagnetic layer for creating, propagating and detecting magnetic domains in the channels of lower coercivity; and a baseplate with electrical connections. The areas of lower coercivity follow a path similar to a spiral with its one end adjacent to the center of the support and the other end adjacent to a corner of the support and executing at least one full 360.degree. turn between both ends. The domain storage devices of this type are distinguished by a higher storage capacity.
