Abstract:
A method for measuring a precision of a star sensor and a system using the same may be provided. The method may comprise steps of: 1) fixing the star sensor on the Earth; 2) inputting a current time (T) of a measuring start time relative to a J2000.0 time; 3) determining a directional vector of the navigation star in a J2000.0 Cartesian coordinate system at the current time (T) according to a right ascension and a declination of the navigation star in the J2000.0 Cartesian coordinate system and visual movement parameters (α′, δ′) of the navigation star in the direction of the right ascension and the declination which are stored in the star sensor; 4) converting the directional vector of the navigation star in the J2000.0 Cartesian coordinate system into a directional vector of the navigation star in an ecliptic coordinate system; 5) converting the directional vector of the navigation star in the ecliptic coordinate system into a directional vector (vCRFT) of the navigation star in a celestial coordinate system; and 6) converting the directional vector (vCRFT) of the navigation star in the celestial coordinate system into a directional vector (vTRF) of the navigation star in a terrestrial coordinate system, and obtaining the precision of the star sensor based on the directional vector (vTRF) of the navigation star in the terrestrial coordinate system.
Abstract:
The invention discloses a heat pump type water heater employing energy in the hot air, including a compressor, a condenser unit, a throttle valve and an evaporator unit connected to each other, in which said condenser unit is composed of a plurality of condensers, each condenser is composed of a water tank and a heat radiator within the water tank, and each water tank is provided with an inlet and an outlet in a water piping system and a hot water outlet. According to the invention, the water heater produced hot water by absorbing the heat energy in the environment using heat pump principle so that the heat pollution to the environment is reduced and the energy is saved because of supplying hot water while providing refrigerating capacity. By connecting a plurality of condensers in series, hot water with different temperatures from 45° C.-100° C. cab be dispensed from the water outlets of the condensers, the two evaporators can provide refrigerating capacity directly and indirectly respectively and the condenser unit having its own housing can be connected to the existing air-conditioners to supply hot water.
Abstract:
An interface for personal communications systems is described which provides rapid identification of a caller and limited access based on a variety of parameters obtained from caller identification information encoded by the telephone company. The incoming telephone call information is compared to a preprogrammed access matrix to determine if the caller is authorized to access the personal communications system connected to the interface. A telephone call screening method and apparatus which incorporates the encoded caller identification is also described.

Abstract:
A combination modem including at least one line connector that is configured for coupling to a transmission medium, analog modem logic that is capable of performing analog modem communications via the transmission medium, digital modem logic that is capable of performing digital modem communications via the transmission medium, a bus interface that enables communication with a computer via an expansion bus of the computer, and processing logic. In this manner a single modem expansion card supports both analog and digital modem technologies using only one slot of an expansion bus of the computer. The analog modem logic may support 56K technologies, such as K56Flex™, V.90, etc., or any combination thereof. The digital modem logic may be according to any type of xDSL, such as ADSL, or U-ADSL, etc. The modem may operate as an analog modem, a digital modem, or as both at the same time with or without a POTS splitter. A single digital signal processor (DSP) located on the modem card may be used to support either the analog or the digital modem communications at any given time or both at the same time. The modem card may be configured as a PCI card for plugging into a PCI bus of the computer.

Abstract:
A system and method for a modular target. The modular target system has a target coupled to at least one target support. The target support is coupled to a base. The target support has notches on the upper distal end. The modular target system has separate components which can be assembled and disassembled without coupling devices such as bolts, screws, etc. This allows the modular target to be stored in more compact locations and configurations.

Abstract:
A system and method for coupling multiple home networks includes a first copper wire network, a second copper wire network, and a high pass coupler disposed between the first and second copper wire networks. The high pass coupler is configured to transfer data signals between the first and second copper wire networks, the data signals having frequencies greater than a maximum plain old telephone service signal frequency. Further, the high pass coupler is configured to prevent cross-talk of plain old telephone service, or voice-band, signals between the first and second copper wire networks. The data signals transferred typically include signals in accordance with the Home Phoneline Networking Alliance standard, and may also include broadband Internet access signals. In one embodiment, the high pass coupler is implemented in a residential gateway device. In another embodiment, the high pass coupler is implemented in a network coupler that couples the copper wire networks while maintaining access points to the first and second copper wire networks.
