摘要:
A self-contained portable device for collecting dust and other particulate matter or the like. There is a housing with partially open sides sufficiently large to allow the entrance of an operator's hands. A sensor is activated when the operator's hands are placed within the device. The sensor activates the vacuum motor and light source so that the work area is illuminated and particulate matter and dust can be drawn away from the work area. A removable and disposable filter bag collects the dust particles and can be disposed of when full. The operator does not come in contact with any contaminated dust or particulate matter in disposing of the filter bag.

A sensitivity time control circuit for radar receivers, using range gated feedback where the video signal is sampled and compared to a desired signal at intervals based upon range sweep; as the radar antenna is reversing direction, integrated averages of the video signal are used to update the sensitivity time controlled waveform.

A dental teaching and practicing simulator comprising a stationery work bench having a work surface and a completely enclosed storage compartment. The storage compartment has a door with locking means thereon to restrict access to the storage compartment. The dental simulation and teaching equipment is mounted on a slide mechanism which can be stored within the compartment and slid out therefrom for utilization. The dental simulation and teaching equipment comprises a mannequin head, a torso, handpieces, and vacuum tools which are normally used in dentistry. The dental simulation and teaching equipment can be stored and locked in the storage compartment such that access thereto is limited. Thus, a safe and secure environment is provided for the equipment until its authorized use.

A method and apparatus for remotely calibrating a system having a plurality of N elements, such as a phased array system, is provided. The method includes generating coherent signals, such as a calibration signal and a reference signal having a predetermined spectral relationship between one another. The calibration signal which is applied to each respective one of the plurality of N elements can be orthogonally encoded based on the entries of a predetermined invertible encoding matrix, such as a binary Hadamard matrix, to generate first and second sets of orthogonally encoded signals. The first and second sets of orthogonally encoded signals and the reference signal are transmitted to a remote location. The transmitted first and second sets of orthogonally encoded signals are coherently detected at the remote location. The coherently detected first and second sets of orthogonally encoded signals are then decoded using the inverse of the predetermined invertible encoding matrix to generate a set of decoded signals. The set of decoded signals is then processed for generating calibration data for each element of the system.

A multi-channel electronic communication system with equalized channels comprises a reference channel and a plurality of object channels. A white noise excitation signal is injected into each channel. Each of the channels is sampled and, for each channel, the resultant samples are windowed and the windowed samples are Fast Fourier Transformed from the time domain to the frequency domain. Power spectral density estimates are determined for each object channel from the windowed samples in that channel. Cross-spectral density estimates for each object channel with respect to the reference channel are determined from the windowed samples in that object channel and the windowed samples in the reference channel. The power spectral density estimates are divided by the cross-spectral density estimates to derive correlation ratios which are converted back to the time domain to specify a corrective equalization filter weight vector for each object channel. An equalization filter in each object channel is then programmed with a respective filter weight vector specified by the corresponding correlation ratio and an equalization filter in the reference channel is programmed with a unity weight vector to equalize the channels in the system.
摘要:
A small target phased array Doppler detection system receives signals from remote moving targets and determines Doppler frequency shift and the respective powers of coherent electromagnetic signals for the purpose of detection and identification of relatively small, slow moving targets in the presence of scattering echoes due to clutter. The system employs covariance analysis of the received signals followed by eigenanalysis to produce eigenvectors and eigenvalues. A superresolution algorithm creates dwell manifold vectors which indicate velocities of targets from the eigenvectors. The relative power of radar echoes contribute information relevant to the identification of real moving targets as opposed to false alarms.
