Abstract: A method to passively locate an emitter using two aircraft to form a large baseline interferometer. The basic two element (two aircraft or helicopters) large baseline interferometer includes self-calibration and allows for various configurations for geo-location of ground-based emitters. The two aircraft large baseline interferometer can measure phase difference of arrival (PDOA) to very precisely locate the emitter in angle. Moving emitters can also be located and tracked using the method of the invention with greater accuracy than can be achieved from a single platform.

Abstract: For use in estimating or predicting bioaccumulation of a chemical analyte, even a surfactant, log Pow values for the analyte may be determined by calculating the log of the ratio of the concentrations of the analyte in n-octanol and in water, equilibrated using a slow-stir method. In this method, samples of the analyte are prepared and stirred in n-octanol and water (or other largely immiscible solvents) at a rate sufficiently low to avoid emulsions over time at a constant temperature. After stirring, the n-octanol layer and the water layer are sampled and the quantity of analyte in each measured.

Abstract: An occupant seat of a motor vehicle includes a backrest, and a headrest mounted atop the backrest on a pair of posts. The headrest includes a base portion supported by the posts, and an occupant-engaging contact portion that is supported by the base portion for relative translational movement along a pair of tracks defined on the base portion. In response to a suitable control signal, such as the tensioning of a Bowden cable in response to an applied force, the contact portion moves under the control of an articulated linkage against a return spring bias and away from the base portion. The translational movement of the contact portion relative to the base portion serves to control contact surface inclination throughout the range of movement of the contact portion relative to the base portion.

Abstract: Voltage compensating circuits are connected serially to a power system, including capacitors each having different charging voltages (in relationship of approximately 2k (K=0, 1, 2, . . . ) times the smallest charging voltage value). The voltage compensating circuits convert DC voltages in the capacitors into AC voltages and output the AC voltages, respectively. The voltages of the capacitors are detected as detected values V1 to V3. The detected values V1 to V3 are used as bit signals for a reference value to check a voltage dip amount of the power system with the reference value and to convert the voltage dip amount into a binary signal. A combination is selected from the voltage compensating circuits in accordance with the binary signal so that the sum of output voltages of the selected voltage compensating circuits compensates the voltage dip of the power system.

Abstract: Memory cell transistors with back-channel isolation are produced without using an SOI substrate. With the word line stack acting as a mask, the semiconductor material is etched on both sides of the world line, first anisotropically and then isotropically to widen the etch hole and form an undercut beneath the gate electrode and at a distance from the ONO storage layer forming the gate dielectric. The undercut is filled, whereby a buried oxide layer of at least 20 nm maximum thickness is formed underneath the channel region. The latter is p-doped at a density of at least 1017 cm?3.

Abstract: A flying toy having a resilient, non-circular frame substantially radiated about an imaginary center axis. The fame includes a plurality of elongated side members substantially interconnected by a plurality of radially-extending feet members, where a higher concentration of the weight of the frame resides at its periphery. Each side member is arced inward toward the imaginary center axis. The frame defines a central opening of which the imaginary axis is axially aligned. A flexible membrane is attached to least a portion of the side members and substantially covers the central opening. In one embodiment, a center portion of each side member is positioned above its adjacent feet members when the toy is in an at rest position to form a structure that is substantially concave in shape in the at rest state. During spinning flight, the higher concentration of weight at the periphery induces centrifugal force upon the toy causing the side members to partially flatten out.
