  • Patent number: 11934344
    Abstract: In certain instances, a data management application (software application) that manages moving data files, and the like, from a primary high-speed storage system. An end-user can configure the data management application for particular files via management policies. Based on the management policies, after a file is migrated from the primary storage system to a targeted secondary storage system, a breadcrumb pointing to a webpage for the migrated file is left behind in the primary storage system. The webpage can be used to manage the migrated file, such as moving the migrated file back to the primary storage system.

  • Patent number: 5083724
    Abstract: A device for controlling aerodynamic bodies with at least one setting member for generating a transversal force on the aerodynamic body. To achieve a simple compact design, setting members are arranged on a rotor where the rotor extends forward from the tip of the aerodynamic body. The setting members are arranged here so that they set the rotor in rotation by the oncoming flow; they are designed, for instance, as a crossed pair of rudders. In addition, the setting members are located asymmetrically to the longitudinal axis of the aerodynamic body, so that they exert at least in some positions of the rotor a transversal force on the aerodynamic body. The position of the rotor can be influenced by means of a braking system.

  • Patent number: 5065957
    Abstract: A device for controlling an aerodynamic body having a searching head, a sensor and setting members for exerting a transversal force on the aerodynamic body into a target due to the sensor signals. In order to make possible a simple design of this device which can also be used for small aerodynamic bodies, the sensor and the setting members are arranged at a common rotor which rotates, driven about the longitudinal axis of the aerodynamic body, and can be influenced by means of a braking system as to its angular position relative to the aerodynamic body, generating a transversal force on the aerodynamic body.

  • Patent number: 5024395
    Abstract: The invention relates to a stepping mechanism for rotary motions with a driven switching wheel (9) which comprises at least one wheel-side stop (10), with an escapement mechanism having at least one pawl (12) which cooperates with said wheel-side stop, and with an actuating device (3, 17) for the pawl. Pursuant to the invention, a miniaturizable stepping mechanism is provided which is of a simple design and which permits reliable positioning of the switching wheel into preselected individual rotational positions. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the escapement mechanism of the stepping mechanism comprises a brake (20) displaceable under the action of force, with a run-up edge (21) lying in the region of each pawl (12) on to which the wheel-side stop (10) runs up before striking the pawl (12) to thereby displace the brake.

  • Patent number: 5016835
    Abstract: A guided missile with a hot-gas generator, whose gas penetrates a plurality of blow-out nozzles, which are arranged at regular intervals along the circumference and extend essentially perpendicularly to the longitudinal missile axis, whereby the flow rate of the gas through the individual blow-out nozzles can be regulated by a control device. The control device has a star coupling, which contains a number of arms corresponding to the number of blow-out nozzles, whereby each arm has a positioning element assigned to it, the corresponding blow-out nozzle can close completely or partially, and each arm has a control element assigned to it.

  • Patent number: 4979697
    Abstract: A control propulsion unit with a solid propellant (4) and a discharge nozzle, through which the propellant gases emerge into the open air, especially to exert transverse forces on a missile. To be able to precisely, quantitatively regulate the transverse forces, in accordance with the invention, it is proposed to extinguish the propellant in a controlled operation by reducing the clamping of the control propulsion unit, for example, by enlarging the discharge port for the propellant gases.

  • Patent number: 4964592
    Abstract: A fluid distributor with a body of revolution, which is arranged around an axis of rotation and has a fluid passage communicating with a fluid source, as well as an exhaust passage, which is connected to this fluid passage and emerges from the side wall of the body of revolution, and fluid flows out of this exhaust passage as a fluid jet, in a direction which does not intersect the axis of rotation of the body of revolution, such that the body of revolution is set into rotation. To enable a back and forth motion of the body of revolution, with such an arrangement, between two stops, a jet baffle is provided, which is not connected to the body of revolution and which, when the body of revolution contacts the second stop, diverts the major portion of the fluid jet emerging from the exhaust passage in the direction of rotation, so that the fluid jet then acts on a supporting surface provided on the body of revolution to reverse the direction of rotation.

  • Patent number: 4927096
    Abstract: A rotor setting system in conjunction with an aerodynamic-body control. The setting system is characterized by a rotor which comprises a console, a rotary drive for the rotor, setting members for the control of the aerodynamic body, especially rudders or spoilers, as well as a control unit for the rotor, and further including a control unit on the sides of the aerodynamic body, wherein the two control units cooperate with each other for adjusting the setting members.

  • Patent number: 4925130
    Abstract: An apparatus for changing the flight path of a missile is disclosed. The apparatus comprises the tip of the missile which is installed so as to be pivotable in the nose of the missile and at least one actuator to tilt the pivotable nose cone. One end of the actuator is coupled to the internal outer edge of the nose cone and the other end of the actuator is coupled internally within the main missile body. The outer wall of the forward part of the missile additionally contains at least one annular flexible element extending perpendicularly to the axis of the missile body which facilitates the tilting of the nose cone.

  • Patent number: 4898342
    Abstract: A missile with adjustable flight controls capable of altering the missile's flight path is disclosed. The missile comprises an electric generator and control electronics. The electric generator is used in this invention both to provide electrical power to the control electronics and to regulate the flight controls. A mechanical connection is created between the generators rotor and the flight controls. The generator is electrically coupled to the control electronics through an electrically variable load. The control electronics alters the load which varies the rotational speed of the generator. This in turn affects the flight controls and the flight path is altered accordingly. The invention is small and compact, allowing its use in small missiles such as mortar or artillery shells.
