Abstract: An imaging system (50) for providing vehicle safety features that employs face recognition software to identify and track a person. The system (50) employs infrared emitters (30) that emit an infrared signal along a predetermined field-of-view, and an infrared sensor (34), such as a CMOS sensor used as a video signal array, that receives reflected infrared illumination from objects in the field-of-view. A processor (52) including the face recognition software, is employed to detect human faces to identify and track the person. Once a face is detected, it can be compared to a data base to identify the person. Various applications for the imaging system (50) for providing vehicle safety features include identifying the driver or passenger for personalizing the vehicle's airbags, providing pre-crash collision avoidance, providing blind spot detection, providing vehicle crash recording, and providing a warning signal if the driver appears drowsy.

Abstract: A satellite power distribution method for efficiently distributing power to satellite electric propulsion thrusters (24) is provided. The satellite includes spacecraft loads (20), an electric propulsion thruster (24), thruster auxiliary circuits (22), and a first power transformer (30). The first power transformer (30) has a primary winding (32) coupled to a first energy source (12) that supplies satellite power. A first secondary winding (36) of the first power transformer (30) is coupled to the spacecraft loads (20) for supplying primary power. The power distribution method includes the steps of first coupling a second secondary winding (34) to the first power transformer (30) for converting the satellite power to thruster discharge power which is rectified. The rectified discharge power is filtered to obtain power that is supplied to the electric propulsion thruster (24). Finally, satellite power is converted to auxiliary power for powering the thruster auxiliary circuits (22).

Abstract: Uplink transmission and reception techniques for a processing satellite including one or more earth terminals 400 connected to receive ATM data cells. One or more encoders 418 are connected to coordinate four data cells with an error correction code to generate data bursts and to coordinate the data bursts with synchronizing bursts to generate data frames. One or more modulators 420 are connected to modulate the data frames by frequency division multiple access modulation to enable placement of the modulated data frames into a plurality of channels. One or more antennas 406 transmit the modulated data frames to a satellite 100 over 48 beams with various forms of polarization. In satellite 100, a receiving multibeam antenna and feed 106 responds to one or more beams of radiocarrier signals having one or more forms of polarization. One or more demodulators 138 demodulate the radio carrier signals into data frames from various channels including a plurality of channel types. One or more decoders 146 decode data bursts and synchronizing bursts from the data frames and decode four data cells from the bursts using error correction code.

Abstract: An EUV source (82) that delivers a laser beam (94, 96) asymmetrical relative to first collection optics (88). The first collection optics (88) has an opening (90, 92) for the laser beam (94, 96) that is positioned so that the laser beam (94, 96) is directed towards the plasma off-axis relative to the collection optics (88). Thus, the strongest EUV radiation (98, 100) is not blocked by the target production hardware (84).

Abstract: An apparatus for converting a digital input signal to an analog signal for transmission. The input signal can include more than one carrier signal. A plurality of delta-sigma modulation loop circuits are connected in an increasing order of operating frequency so as to reduce a word length of the input signal. A tuning circuit adjusts the signal frequency to a transmitting frequency for conversion to analog by a digital-to-analog converter. A first loop circuit is implemented using CMOS gates, and a second loop circuit and the tuning circuit are implemented using indium phosphide gates. The apparatus allows a high-resolution, wide-band RF multiple-carrier signal to be re-quantized to a lower-resolution signal while an acceptable signal-to-noise ratio is maintained.

Abstract: An apparatus (24) and an associated method provide for monitoring of a condition of a tire (18) of a vehicle (12). A transmitter (34) is rotatable with the tire (18) and is operable to transmit a signal indicative of the tire condition. Amplitude variation is induced in the signal during rotation of the transmitter (34) with the tire (18). A receiver (28) is located at the vehicle (12) and is operable to receive the signal from the transmitter (34). The receiver (28) has circuitry (80) that compensates for the induced amplitude variation.
