摘要:
An optical system superposes an optical carrier with modulation and an additional optical carrier. The system is designed in such a way that it supplies the superposed optical signal with modulation at one of its outputs and the superposed optical signal without modulation at an additionnal output. The generator is designed in such a way that it is as insensitive as possible to ambient influences. The optical signal without modulation constitutes the feedback signal for the frequency/phase control of the laser emitter. The optical signal with modulation is available for further processing, for example in a beam shaping network.

A camera producing colour video outputs may employ an image intensifier 5 and a monochrome CCD sensor 3. The scene is exposed through filters F 3 , F 4 which may each contain stripes of subtractive primary colours alternating with clear regions. The video is decoded using waveforms derived from a memory which records the output of the sensor when imaged on, for example, primary colours such as red and blue, producing trains of pulses which identify the spatial regions of each line corresponding to the spatial areas of the pattem on the sensor produced by the colour filters F 3 , F 4 , in order that actual scenes can be decoded using the stored waveforms, for example using sample and hold devices. A colour interference signal is generated in matrix addition circuitry 10 to produce a luminance signal which has stripe visibility removed from it, permitting high resolution video signals to be obtained.

A coil arrangement of generally tubular form suitable for use in a method of examining a region of a body using a magnetic resonance technique, said method comprising: disposing the body in a magnetic field so as to define an equilibrium axis of magnetic alignment in said region; positioning adjacent said region a said coil arrangement with said region lying alongside but outside the generally cylindrical volume embraced by the coil arrangement; and utilizing said coil arrangement to excite and/or detect magnetic resonance in said region, said coil arrangement being characterised in that it comprises: a pair of substantially identical saddle coils (33A, 33B) which are disposed at complementary positions around said generally cylindrical volume (37) and have a span such that they overlap one another in a circumferential direction at opposite sides of said volume (37); and a generally planar rectangular third coil (35) which lies in a plane which intersects said volume (37) and is generally parallel to the overlapping portions of the saddle coils (33A, 33B). The third coil (35) lies in a plane which contains the main axis of the volume (37), and has a cross sectional area corresponding to the axial cross sectional area of the volume (37).
摘要:
A method for making three dimensional objects comprising the following steps. Making a plurality of sheets (42) and then stacking the sheets to form a stack (40) which corresponds in shape to that of the object. The sheets have an intermediate layer supporting a solder layer on each of their sides. The stack is then heated and the sheets are bonded together by diffusion soldering.

A terrain advisory system for an aircraft (A) comprises a processor (11) which compares terrain information, accessed from a memory means 13 according to data from a navigation means (12), with dynamic flight parameters from a monitor (14) for the aircraft (A). The processor (11) also generates a trajectory signal and a pull-up signal to indicate, on a display means (15), the current aircraft trajectory relative to a line constructed from notional pull up trajectories for the aircraft (A) which avoid a predetermined clearance height without exceeding a predetermined acceleration acting on the aircraft during a pull up manoeuvre.

A method of locating the position of an object placed in a region of a body being examined using a magnetic resonance technique comprising: attaching to the object a closed loop tuned coil arrangement; subjecting said region to a magnetic resonance excitation and detection examination sequence at the frequency to which said coil arrangement is tuned, so as to acquire a detected signal, the sequence including at least one magnetic field gradient whereby the detected signals are spatially encoded; and utilising the detected signals to obtain an indication of the position of said coil arrangement and hence said object, in said region; the coil arrangement being carried on a tubular flexible former and incorporating turns which lie substantially in non-parallel planes when the axis of the former lies substantially in a straight line.
摘要:
An imaging system comprising: imaging apparatus for obtaining an image of an internal part of an object placed in an examination region of the imaging apparatus; a reference frame which carries a radiation sensing arrangement and is fixed with respect to a treatment position; a tool which is required to be accurately positioned with respect to the object when the object is in the treatment position; a radiation emitting arrangement associated with the tool which emits radiation for detection by the sensing arrangement to produce signals indicative of the position of the tool with respect to the reference frame; and display means for displaying said image of the object and utilising said signals produced by said sensing arrangement to provide a representation of said tool in said display at a position and orientation with respect to said image of the object corresponding to the position and orientation of the tool with respect to the actual object; characterised in that said reference frame and hence said treatment position is fixed in position with respect to said examination region.
摘要:
An acoustic sensor for use as part of a drill string (1) in a borehole (2) has an acoustic transducer (4) which vibrates the drill bit in contact with the rock at the end of the borehole to generate acoustic signals in the rock. These acoustic signals propagate through the rocks ahead of the drill bit and are reflected and scattered to return to an acoustic sensor contained within the drill string.

A method of examining a region of a body using a magnetic resonance technique comprising: disposing the body in a magnetic field so as to define an equilibrium axis of magnetic alignment in said region; positioning adjacent said region a coil of generally tubular form with said region lying alongside but outside the cylindrical volume embraced by the coil arrangement; and utilising said coil arrangement to excite and/or detect magnetic resonance in said region.
