A filter processor provides improved capabilities and reduced complexity by inputting and processing lower resolution signals and by generating higher resolution filtered signals. In a preferred embodiment; an incremental filter processor generates incremental input signals, performs incremental processing, and generates multi-bit filtered signals. Input signals are received from radar, sonar, seismic, or other sources; are processed by the filter processor to generate filtered signals; and can be post processed by a post processor. In a preferred embodiment, the input circuit is a serial input and parallel output circuit, such as a delay line or a CCD; the filter processor is an incremental fast Fourier transform processor; and the post processor is an incremental frequency domain correlator. Other post processors include a frequency domain integrator and an RSS post processor to convert coherent signal samples to noncoherent signal samples.

An incremental digital filter provides high speed and low cost capability such as for performing fast Fourier transforms (FFTs), correlations, convolutions, and other digital filter operations. One configuration operates at microwave sample rates, computing a complete 512-point FFT in 0.2 microseconds for an effective sample rate of 2.56 gigahertz. High speed and low cost are derived from a parallel pipeline architecture in combination with incremental processing. Parallel pipeline architecture provides extremely high speed while the incremental mechanization provides a simple arrangement with a low component count for low cost. The incremental nature of the processor provides an integrating type mechanization, where integration-after-transformation yields high processing gain for signal-to-noise-ratio enhancement.High data rate input and output mechanizations are provided to accommodate the high processing rates. An improved input mechanization involves analog signal to incremental digital conversion. An improved output mechanization involves integration after filtering for data rate reductions and for signal enhancement and also involves a bus output structure for multiplexing of output parameters.

A manipulator apparatus comprises an elongated member having a number of arm sections interconnected by rotary actuators and supported by a vertical member rotatably mounted on a console. The other end of the elongated member terminates in a terminal motion actuator adapted to support an article handling member. Each rotary actuator comprises a stepping motor coupled to a harmonic drive device, wherein control pulses fed into the stepping motor will initiate motion which is reduced by the harmonic drive device and then imparted to the respective arm section. The vertical member is similarly controlled. The terminal motion actuator comprises a stepping motor rotatably supported by a rotary actuator comprising a combination of a stepping motor and a harmonic drive device. The terminal motion actuator has mounting means for supporting article handling members. The vertical member is rotatably supported in such manner that free play is totally eliminated. A control arrangement comprises a computer having hardware and software and interconnected with a CRT screen and a control panel. The computer is connected by a cable to bus means which intercouple a plurality of axes controlling devices, modulator connector devices, and data input devices. The computer has an address system to control the operation of the devices which have respective addresses. Each axis controlling device includes a microstep indexer interconnecting the axis controlling device with a motor driver which is connected to a respective stepping motor. The modular connector devices are connected to a plurality of modules which are associated with a particular type of external equipment which cooperates with the operation of the manipulator apparatus.
摘要:
A system for restoring a numerically controlled machine tool to its former condition after a power interruption, the numerical control system being of the type in which a position sensor senses the current position of a movable member or of a drive motor of the machine tool and generates a current position signal in accordance with said current position, the movable member being positioned on the basis of a commanded position signal and the current position signal. The positional control information which prevails immediately prior to an interruption in the electric power which is applied to the machine tool and to the numerical control device is stored in a non-volatile memory before the power interruption occurs. When the electric power is reintroduced, the positional control information is read out of the non-volatile memory, and the movable member is returned to the position which it occupied immediately prior to the power interruption, this being accomplished on the basis of the positional control information and the current position signal.
