    摘要: The methods for determining the probability of detection of a thermally camouflaged target at various ranges by the sensor includes determining an “inherent” temperature difference, ΔTRSS, between the target and its immediate surroundings. Once ΔTRSS is determined, a scaled N50 cycle criterion, or the number of resolvable cycles needed by the sensor for a fifty percent probability of detection, is determined according to the relationship N50=A/(ΔTRSS)B+C, where A, B and C are constants that are predetermined according to whether the immediate surroundings are of a woodland or a littoral nature. The scaled N50 cycle criterion is then used in an empirical Target Transfer Probability Function (TTPF) defined by P=(N/N50)E/(1+(N/N50)E), where E=2.7+0.7(N/N50), in order to determine the probability of detection of the thermally camouflaged target.

    摘要: A method and apparatus of providing and improving process controls when using RF power sources in medical, industrial, or scientific processes. A further improvement results in sampling RF energy in the fundamental frequency and its related harmonic frequencies. The process control employs sampling, splitting, filtering and subsequently measuring differences between the fundamental frequency amplitude and a reference frequency amplitude and furthermore measuring the difference between the fundamental frequency amplitude and each related harmonic. Data is further digitized, processed by one or more microprocessors, time stamped and sent to upstream control systems to enable process control.

    摘要: A sign system is provided. The sign system has a hoisting mechanism for moving a sign between an access or servicing position near ground level and an elevated display position. The sign system includes a first set of guide members and a second set of guide members and a drive system. Each guide member is generally tubular. The guide members of each set are connected together for telescopic movement. Each set of guide members includes an outermost guide member and an innermost guide member, one of which serves as an anchor guide member and the other of which serves as a sign supporting guide member. The sign supporting guide member includes at least one connector for connecting the sign thereto. The anchor guide members of the first and second sets of guide members are fixedly connectable in a generally vertical orientation to a wall or other vertical support means in horizontally spaced relation to each other such that the first and second sets of guide members are extendible downwards to move the sign to the access position and retractable upwards to move the sign to the display position. The drive system is operatively connected to the first and second sets of guide members for selectively moving the first and second sets of guide members between the extended position and the retracted position.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for controlling the load on the blade or spindle motor of a steel-cutting saw for optimizing blade life, while at the same time reducing cutting cycle time and protecting the blade, gearbox and spindle hub from stresses caused by binding and jamming of the blade while cutting into a steel member. Using a programmable logic controller (PLC) to implement the method, the load current drawn by the spindle motor is sensed and compared to a reference value representing the desired optimum operating current. As the saw cuts through a steel member, variations in hardness cause the spindle motor current to fluctuate accordingly. The blade is advanced into the steel member by an electric servomotor. The rate of advancement of the blade is controlled by the PLC. As the current on the spindle motor increases, the PLC is programmed to reduce the rate of advancement of the blade, thereby reducing the load on the blade. The blade loading and spindle current are directly proportional. The rotational speed (RPM) of the blade is also maintained constant by a variable frequency motor drive that powers the spindle motor. The PLC does not vary the RPM of the blade. The operator selects the blade speed as a value in the range from 3 to 85 RPM, which is the reference value maintained by the variable frequency drive. The feed rate is the variable that is controlled by the PLC, by which the load current of the spindle motor is maintained relatively constant. The PLC also compares the current to a preset maximum value, normally around eighty percent of full load amps of the spindle motor. Upon reaching the preset maximum, the PLC removes the run command signal to the variable frequency drive, causing the spindle motor to stop abruptly. Response time for clearing an overload condition is approximately 10 milliseconds, or one-tenth of the time required to clear the overload using conventional analog current sensing and shut-off devices.
