摘要:
A resilient disc to be located between batteries which are mounted within a battery operated device. If the batteries incur an unusual shock, such as when the device is dropped or thrown, this resilient disc functions to absorb enough of the shock to protect the battery terminal post from being damaged and hence make the batteries inoperative.
摘要:
Apparatus and methods to implement post accident communications in a coal mine, in compliance with the MINER Act and MSHA regulations, are disclosed. Acoustic waves are transmitted bidirectionally through-the-earth in a simple robust half-duplex architecture in combination with signal-to-noise reduction techniques which ensure the ability to communicate using simple tools available in a mine. A personal electronics device, designed to be carried by each miner, automatically decodes acoustically transmitted text messages sent by rescue operations, and automatically encodes text messages by a miner to synchronized impulses manually produced by the miner. Signals are synchronized, in time of day protocol, between the miner and rescue operations. Digital signal processing techniques are disclosed.

摘要:
Acoustic waves are transmitted bidirectionally through-the-earth in a simple robust architecture in combination with signal-to-roise reduction techniques which ensure the ability to communicate using simple tools available in a mine. An enhanced version includes a personal electronics device designed to be carried by a miner to automatically decode acoustically transmitted text messages.
摘要:
A method is disclosed whereby a laser-based spherical coordinate measurement system is dynamically calibrated. A mechanical oscillator, such as, but not limited to, a Foucault pendulum is used to generate periodic motions which can be fitted to Fourier series models. The residuals between the experimental measurements and the model can provide information which can be used to calibrate the instrument. The calibration information is used to augment the ASME B89.4.19-2006 standard to improve sensitivity to cyclic errors and include the servo systems.
摘要:
The invention extends classical time-invariant optical design to include optical amplitude modulated light, using tools from communications theory. Effects of dispersion are derived from first principles.
