  • Patent number: 5601024
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an optical proximity fuse for missiles with laser transmitters and optical receivers, whose optically bundled beam paths are oriented in such a way at a small angle to the direction of flight that they intersect in predetermined measuring segments, wherein the radiation reflected from objects in these measuring segments is utilized for deriving the firing pulse, wherein at least two laser transmitters oriented at angles different from each other and a common optical receiver are arranged at different points of the front side of the missile. The measuring segments where the transmitter beam paths intersect the receiver beam path lie at different distances from the missile and at differing side spacings from the longitudinal axis of the missile, wherein the measuring segment lying closer to the missile corresponds to the predetermined target segment. The laser transmitters are modulated at identification response codes differing from each other.

  • Patent number: 4789419
    Abstract: The apparatus for applying decorative elements (47) to textile and non-textile flat articles (49) comprises a movable gripper (9) whose axially displaceable punch member (15) is connected to a suction source. The decorative elements (47) are taken by the punch member (15) from the shaker device (23) or with a disc (29) provided with a suction opening and pressed against the flat article (49). The adhesive is melted either by a heating plate (45) arranged beneath the flat article (49) or by a heating element at the punch member (15) and/or in the disc (29).

  • Patent number: 4611169
    Abstract: Magnetic field distortions are sensed by a magnetic sensor including a magnetic field sensor or receiver arranged for cooperation with a magnetic transmitter which generates the magnetic field for providing measured values representing such distortions. The magnetic receiver has a preferred directional axis in which the receiver is sensitive. The receiver is so arranged or located that the undistorted magnetic field lines of the magnetic field produced by the magnetic transmitter extend approximately perpendicularly to the preferred directional axis of the magnetic receiver. By locating the receiver in this specific position it is possible to substantially increase the sensitivity of such sensors and hence their sensing range for example in measuring the spacing between a magnetically levitated vehicle and a rail surface relative to which the vehicle is travelling.

  • Patent number: 4166259
    Abstract: A flat, high frequency cable having a number of longitudinal conductors, is provided with a transverse conductance between said longitudinal conductors. The transverse conductance is substantially smaller than the conductivity of said longitudinal conductors to provide a defined attenuation along the cable. The transverse conductance is determined by a plurality of discrete components such as resistors and capacitors electrically connected to said longitudinal conductors at spaced intervals. The present cable may comprise two or three conductors.

  • Patent number: 3941201
    Abstract: Two crowded single file traffic lanes of electronically speed-controlled vehicles are merged at a merge point by electronically establishing gaps sufficient to accept vehicles between the vehicles of each lane before they approach the merge point. The vehicles of one lane are then electronically guided into the gaps of the other as they pass the merge point. Lane-side transmitters and receivers along each lane cooperate with the vehicles to control the spacing between the vehicles in the approach toward the merge point. The gaps are established and the vehicles guided by signalling electronic images of each vehicle to the other lane and by guiding each vehicle as if the imaged vehicle were an actual vehicle in front of it.
