Abstract: A distribution device for a glide guidance component, the distribution device including an array of antenna elements installed on a pylon. The distribution device includes: a first and a second input for receiving a CSB (carrier plus sideband) input signal and an SBO (sideband only) input signal respectively, a plurality of outputs connectable to the array and including a first and a second output for the first and second output signals, respectively; each of said output signals including a CSB component and an SBO component. The array of antenna elements is such as to irradiate an image-less type pattern and the distribution device is such that the outputs have an substantially equal amplitude value for each pair arranged symmetrically around a central point of the array and a phase difference which is identical for the two CSB and SBO components.

Abstract: An image data coding apparatus includes a preprocessing unit for executing preprocessing including compression for input image data in units of screens to generate a preprocessed output. A quantizing unit quantizes the preprocessed output with a predetermined quantization width to generate a quantized output. A variable-length coding unit executes variable-length coding for the quantized output. A target-amount-of-codes output unit outputs information concerning a target amount of codes corresponding to one screen. A quantization width predicting unit predicts a suitable quantization width on the basis of the information from the variable-length coding unit to supply information concerning the predicted quantization width to the quantizing unit. The quantizing unit quantizes the preprocessed output generated by the preprocessing unit with the predicted quantization width included in the information from the quantization width predicting unit.

Abstract: Apparatus for applying a test static-electric discharge from a test tip to equipment under test in two modes, which apparatus includes a capacitor, a power supply, and a normally closed relay for connecting the high side of the capacitor to the tip. Means are provided for actuating the relay to open and close, and means are provided for actuating the power supply to charge the capacitor. In an air-discharge mode, the power supply is actuated for charging the capacitor while the relay is closed and thus not energized. For direct-injection mode operation, the apparatus includes a timing circuit interconnected so that the relay is opened a finite delay time before power supply is actuated to charge the capacitor, the relay remaining open until the capacitor is charged, and thereafter the relay automatically closes to permit discharge of the capacitor.

Abstract: An improved signal generator and method for radio navigation in accordance with systems of the type in which location is determined in accordance with radio fixings with respect to multiple points of reference, each of such points providing a coded transmission. Multiple coded bit sequences are stored in an adddressable read only memory. Phantom signals comprising a plurality of coded sequences are generated by addressing the memory in accordance with preselected sequences. Further, predetermined phase shifts are applied to the coded sequences to facilitate signal detection and associated computational processes.
