    摘要: To measure the height of the surface of a fluent material, such as coal, in a bunker or container, pulsed radiation from a microwave source is beamed down on to said surface, and the return radiation reflected from the surface is processed to detect pulses in the waveform with time-varying amplitudes, and therefore denoting returns from the fluent material, and to reject fixed shape pulses denoting returns from the fixed structure of the bunker. To discriminate between returns of time-varying amplitude (i) from the fluent material surface and (ii) from material flowing in from an in-feed, the higher frequency components, denoting the material flowing in, are filtered out.

    摘要: In a weather radar system wherein echo signals are linear-detected from the waves received at the radar, each one of echo signals being compared with the later one to derive AC component, and the mean power of the weather echo estimated from the power of the AC component, the linear-detected echo signals are amplitude suppressed before compared. The amplitude suppression effectively removes the errors due to the fluctuation of ground clutter, and the variation of AC power of weather echo due to the existence of ground clutter. An amplitude suppressor is used which has an amplitude suppressing property expressed by Y=X.sup.k, where X is an amplitude of the input signal, Y is an amplitude of the output signal, and k is a constant (0

    摘要: An airborne pulse doppler radar set generally includes a moving target indicator (MTI) system for detecting moving aircraft within its scanning purview. To avoid processing undesirable clutter, the MTI system includes a clutter cancelling type filter for rejecting doppler shift frequency signals reflected from objects moving at velocities below a predetermined minimum velocity value. Unfortunately, the doppler shift frequencies representative of the body velocity of most helicopters fall within this clutter repetition band and may go undetected by the MTI system. To detect these helicopters, a helicopter detection system which operates on the specular flash energy of the doppler shift frequency signals reflected from the rotating blades of a helicopter is provided. The helicopter detection system passes substantially the received reflected radar signals that have doppler shift frequencies representative of the helicopter rotating blade velocities, derives a threshold value based on the values of the passed signals, and generates detection signals at times corresponding to the passed signal values which are at least that of the derived threshold value. In addition, the helicopter detection system is capable of inhibiting the generation of the detection signals at time corresponding to the reception of interference type radar signals by the radar set. Furthermore, an unambiguous range of each detected helicopter may be computed. Moreover, the helicopter detection system has the capability of distinguishing between detected targets having even and odd numbers rotating blades.

    摘要: Systems and methods for facilitating access to shooting statistics data for a basketball player are provided. A user interface receives a user selection of identifying information for the basketball player and a subset of plurality of pass receipt locations located about a basketball playing surface for an ejector to pass said basketballs to as part of a basketball practice drill for the basketball player. A detector detects passage of basketballs through a rim of a basketball goal to indicate a made basketball shot. A control system commands the ejector to launch at least one basketball towards each pass receipt location in the subset. One or more remote electronic devices electronically store data indicating the player's success in making shots from the pass receipt location in the subset in association with the identifying information.

    摘要: Systems and methods for providing performance feedback regarding a basketball practice session are provided. A user interface associated with a portable basketball launching machine accepts user input indicating a number of different locations at a basketball playing area for the portable basketball launching machine to provide basketball passes for a player to catch and shoot towards a basketball goal as part of the basketball practice session. A detection device ascertains whether the player succeeded in making a basketball goal for each of the basketball passes. A processor receives data from the detection device and generates a representation of a basketball court overlaid with data indicating where the basketball passes were provided and whether said player was successful in making basketball goals.
