摘要： An apparatus for sealing a hole in a wall (4), the wall in use dividing a region of relative high pressure from a region of relative low pressure, the apparatus comprising an elongate stem (2) connected at one end to a sealing member (3) which extends substantially radially from the major axis of said stem in an extended state such that, in use, said relative high pressure acts to seal the sealing member in the extended state against the wall, wherein said sealing member is resiliently deformable from said extended state into a collapsed state in which the sealing member is folded towards the stem, and into an everted state in which the sealing means is folded away from the stem. Said sealing member may when in its extended state form a dome shape which acts to maintain an air gap around the hole.

摘要： Techniques to apply a label to an object are described. In one embodiment, the label application system can include a magazine, an indexer, a separator, an applicator and an impressor. The magazine may hold one or more sets of contiguous labels. The indexer advances a label from the contiguous set of labels. The separator separates the label from the contiguous set of labels. The applicator may apply adhesive to the separated label or, alternatively, a substrate of the object. The impressor presses the label onto the desired object to complete the attachment process. In one embodiment the indexer is mechanically implemented. Alternatively, the indexer can receive control signals from a processor which control the movement of the indexer through the desired indexing positions.

摘要： An inertial (“INS”)/GPS receiver includes an INS sub-system which incorporates, into a modified Kalman filter, GPS observables and/or other observables that span previous and current times. The INS filter utilizes the observables to update position information relating to both the current and the previous times, and to propagate the current position, velocity and attitude related information. The GPS observable may be delta phase measurements, and the other observables may be, for example, wheel pick-offs (or counts of wheel revolutions) that are used to calculate along track differences, and so forth. The inclusion of the measurements in the filter together with the current and the previous position related information essentially eliminates the effect of system dynamics from the system model. A position difference can thus be formed that is directly observable by the phase difference or along track difference measured between the previous and current time epochs. Further, the delta phase measurements can be incorporated in the INS filter without having to maintain GPS carrier ambiguity states. The INS sub-system and the GPS sub-system share GPS and INS position and covariance information. The receiver time tags the INS and any other non-GPS measurement data with GPS time, and then uses the INS and GPS filters to produce INS and GPS position information that is synchronized in time. The GPS/INS receiver utilizes GPS position and associated covariance information and the GPS and/or other observables in the updating of the INS filter. The INS filter, in turn, provides updated system error information that is used to propagate inertial current position, velocity and attitude information. Further, the receiver utilizes the inertial position, velocity and covariance information in the GPS filters to speed up GPS satellite signal re-acquisition and associated ambiguity resolution operations

摘要翻译： 惯性（“INS”）/ GPS接收机包括INS子系统，其将改进的卡尔曼滤波器并入到可以观测的GPS观测器和/或其他可观测量，其可以跨越先前的和当前的时间。 INS过滤器利用可观测值来更新与当前和之前的时间有关的位置信息，并且传播当前位置，速度和态度相关信息。 GPS可观测可以是增量相位测量，而其它可观测量可以是例如用于沿着轨迹差异计算的轮子拾取（或车轮转数）），等等。 将测量结果与当前和先前的位置相关的信息一起纳入过滤器，基本上消除了系统模型的系统动力学的影响。 因此可以形成通过在先前和当前时间段之间测量的相位差或跟踪差可直接观察到的位置差异。 此外，Δ相位测量可以并入INS滤波器，而不必维护GPS载波模糊状态。 INS子系统和GPS子系统共享GPS和INS位置和协方差信息。 接收机时间使用GPS时间标记INS和任何其他非GPS测量数据，然后使用INS和GPS滤波器来产生时间同步的INS和GPS位置信息。 GPS / INS接收机在更新INS滤波器时使用GPS位置和相关协方差信息以及GPS和/或其他可观察值。 INS过滤器又提供用于传播惯性当前位置，速度和姿态信息的更新的系统错误信息。 此外，接收机利用GPS滤波器中的惯性位置，速度和协方差信息来加速GPS卫星信号重新获取和相关的模糊度解析操作
