    摘要: A method and apparatus for finding a relative direction to, a radial speed of, and a distance to a target is described. A laser source illuminates the target and the Doppler shifted return beam is incident upon a window system at an angle and is transmitted therethrough. The magnitude of the transmitted Doppler shifted beam decreases due to Fresnel transmittance. Opposing photomixers then detect this transmitted Doppler shifted beam, thereby creating a pair of detection signals that are mixed with a local oscillator signal. The mixing process creates Doppler frequency signals that are subsequently processed to determine the radial speed of the target. Due to the Doppler frequency component of the signals, objects in the same direction, but moving at different radial speeds, can be discriminated, as the relative direction processing occurs after the Doppler processing.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for finding a relative direction of received radiation is described. The received radiation is incident upon a window system at an angle and is transmitted therethrough. The magnitude of the transmitted radiation decreases as a continuous function of increasing angle of incidence, known as Fresnel transmittance. Opposing radiation detectors then detect this transmitted radiation, thereby creating a pair of detection signals, By dividing the difference of the detection signals by the sum of the detection signals, a processor generates a beta angle error curve and finds the relative direction of the radiation. Based upon this beta angle error curve, the processor generates an appropriate error correction signal for guiding an object based upon the relative direction of the received radiation. The method and apparatus are readily applicable to guiding munitions using a laser monopulse to designate a target.

    摘要: An actuation mechanism for a two piece retractable hard-top roof that interfaces with an automobile body assembly, the retractable hard-top roof having a forward roof component and a rearward roof component which are selectively conjoinable, wherein the actuation mechanism and its associated framework are not located in the passenger compartment, being generally located in a stowage compartment, and wherein a minimal fore-aft dimension is needed to accommodate storage of the retractable hard-top roof. The actuation mechanism is microprocessor controlled, and the rearward roof component is affixed at its rear end to the actuation mechanism. In a retraction operation, an affixment assembly detaches the forward roof component from the windshield trim, a rearward carriage retracts the conjoined roof to a first selected location, a joinder assembly detaches the forward roof component from the rearward roof component, and a forward carriage seats the forward roof component inside the stowage compartment whereat the forward roof component is juxtaposed the rearward roof component. A deployment operation is essentially a reverse of the aforesaid retraction operation. A tonneau cover assembly selectively covers a selected portion of the stowage compartment.

    摘要: A two piece retractable hard-top roof for interfacing with an automobile body assembly, the retractable hard-top roof having a forward roof component and a rearward roof component, wherein an actuation mechanism and its associated framework are not located in the passenger compartment, being generally located in a stowage compartment, and wherein a minimal fore-aft dimension is needed to accommodate storage of the retractable hard-top roof. A front end of the forward roof component is selectively affixable to the windshield trim. The rearward roof component includes a rear window, is affixed at its rear end to the actuation mechanism, and is selectively conjoined at its front end to the rear end of the forward roof component to provide a single, rigid unit. In a retraction operation, the conjoined roof retracts to a first selected location, whereupon the forward roof component is detached from the rearward roof component and theafter seated inside the stowage compartment whereat the forward roof component is juxtaposed the rearward roof component. A deployment operation is essentially a reverse of the aforesaid retraction operation. A tonneau cover selectively covers a selected portion of the stowage compartment.
