    摘要: A relatively inexpensive system is provided for detecting and visually indicating the relative location of the impact on a target of an invisible infrared laser beam emitted from a small arms transmitter (SAT) mounted on a combat rifle. A plurality of red LEDs are mounted on a planar PCB that serves as the target and are arranged along X and Y axes corresponding to azimuth and elevation. A plurality of photo-diodes are mounted on the PCB for generating output signals when struck by the laser beam. The photo-diodes are clustered around the intersection of the X and Y axes. A circuit mounted on a reverse side of the PCB is connected to the plurality of photo-diodes for receiving their output signals. The circuit energizes one or more of the red LEDs to provide a pattern of illumination of the LEDs that represents azimuth and elevation deviation of the laser hit from the intersection of the axes when the SAT is fired with the intersection of the axes in the iron sights of the rifle. The LEDs and photo-diodes are spatially arranged on the PCB to provide an effective magnification of a variation in azimuth and elevation of the location of the impact of the laser beam relative to the intersection of the axes. The circuit also increases the duration of the illumination of the LEDs compared to short duration laser pulses to increase visibility to the soldier. A pair of laser diodes can be mounted on the PCB so that visible red light beams emitted therefrom will criss-cross at the appropriate distance and overlap on the soldier's chest. This tells the soldier to fire the SAT-equipped rifle at the target at this location.

    摘要: A multifunction sight is disclosed. The multifunction sight includes an body, a receiving aperture, an emitting aperture, a parabolic reflector, and an optical detector. The receiving aperture passes radiation in a first band and a second band into the body where the first band is different from the second band. The emitting aperture that passes the radiation in the first band out of the body. The parabolic reflector displays a point source such that the point source is visible from the emitting aperture. The point source appears aligned with where the multifunction sight is aimed irrespective of a visual alignment with the emitting aperture. The optical detector is affixed to the body and coupled to the radiation in the second band, and receives coded radiation with the second band.

    摘要: A radio frequency (RF) sync pulse is transmitted throughout a building having a plurality of rooms to be traversed by a plurality of players during, for example, an assault training exercise. Ultra-sound pulses are transmitted from fixed piezoelectric transducers mounted at each corner of each room. The ultra-sound pulses with encoded room identity information are generated in a predetermined timed sequence by different ultra-sound transducers after each RF sync pulse. Each player carries an RF receiver for receiving the RF sync pulses. Each player also carries multiple microphones for receiving the ultra-sound pulses transmitted in a room in which the player is currently located. Timing circuitry carried by each player generates signals representative of the delays between each RF sync pulse and the receipt of each of the ultra-sound pulses sequentially received thereafter. Each player carries an RF transmitter for transmitting an RF tracking signal representing an identity of the room an identity of the player and the respective delays that each ultra-sound pulse is received after each RF sync pulse. A control facility receives all of the RF tracking signals from all of the players and determines each player's current position within one of the rooms based upon the room identity code and the delays that each ultra-sound pulse is received after each RF sync pulse for each player. The control facility displays the identity and current location of each player as each player moves within the rooms and moves from room to room. The azimuth and elevation of each player along with the articulation of a weapon held by each player can also be determined and displayed.

    摘要: A transmitter circuit and a receiver circuit couple inductively to allow data communication between a mass transit vehicle farebox and an external computer. Data communication may be performed simultaneously with removal of coins from the farebox via a vacuum hose. Two mating connectors each carry a wire coil; one coil is connected to the transmitter circuit and the other is connected to the receiver circuit. Furthermore, the same connectors that carry the coils may be used to form the vacuum hose connection. A modulated signal representing encoded binary data is applied to the transmitter coil to cause corresponding flux changes. When placed in close proximity to one another, the magnetic flux changes across the gap induce a corresponding modulated signal in the receiver coil. The induced signal in the receiver coil is then decoded to recover the original binary data. The coils thus function as halves of a transformer.

    摘要: A ticket transport which is capable of rapidly reciprocating a ticket to permit a single transducer to read, write and/or verify information on the ticket. Upper and lower ticket guide plates define a ticket channel through which a ticket is propelled past an adjacent transducer by a plurality of rollers driven by a stepper motor. The upper ticket guide plate is hingedly mounted to permit access to the ticket channel. The stepper motor is controlled by special circuitry adapted to overcome the inductive time constant of the stepper motor to permit rapid acceleration, for example 0 to 50 inches per second in 30 milliseconds, of the ticket with minimum power dissipation. Sensors in the transport provide ticket position information. A combined magnetic head and pressure shoe assembly is provided for adjusting the thickness of the ticket channel.

    摘要: Apparatus for use in vending machines and the like using a magnetically encoded token as the value medium. The token is a flat disc with a central aperture and a magnetic track around the periphery for carrying coded data, such as the token value. The apparatus accepts a token inserted in an entry slot and temporarily holds a valid token in spaced supports, which allows undersize tokens to drop through. A valid token is advanced over a read and write head and is rotated for scanning of the magnetic track and updating of the data relative to the current transaction. The token is then released into a collection box or, if there is any remaining value, the token is returned to the customer. Only tokens of the correct size, with the proper aperture and a magnetically encoded periphery will be processed. Undersize and otherwise counterfeit tokens are passed through and oversize tokens will not fit into the entry slot.

    摘要: A combat IFF system, for use in a combat exercise or on the battlefield, including a helmet-mounted passive IFF response unit and a weapon-mounted IFF interrogatory unit for each soldier. Infrared (IR) signals are employed for both challenge and response. The IR response signal is a very narrowly-targeted reflection of the relatively narrow IR transmit signal, thereby minimizing interception opportunities. The transmit and response signals are encoded in a transaction that cannot be compromised even when either or both signals are intercepted and decoded by the enemy. The combat IFF system includes biometric anti-spoofing features that prevent any use by an enemy in possession of captured units. Military radio-frequency (RF) spectrum is not required so there are no bandwidth limitations on simultaneous IFF transactions in the battlefield. A combat IFF transaction is completed in milliseconds.
