摘要:
A controlled area (A) is configured as a telecommunications cellular system location area, connection of cellular system mobile terminals (T) to such location area (A) is checked. A detected connection indicates that the bearer of the terminal (T) accessed the controlled area, which information can thus be used both to prevent unauthorized access and to certify and document authorized access also by interrogation through the system. The fact that terminal (T) has been kept switched on inside the controlled area despite this being interdicted can also be detected and such behavior can be debited to the terminal (T) involved and/or the terminal can be inhibited by means of temporary deactivation of the terminal (T).

The device consists of a transparent container, partly filled with a ferromagnetic fluid surrounding a bubble of a transparent liquid. By an external magnetic field the ferromagnetic fluid is displaced within the container and moves the bubble making it pass between a light source and a light sensitive element.

The connector ensures the alignment between the two fibres ends (9, 10) thanks to the force exerted by a locally generated magnetic field (5, 6, 7, 8) on a ferromagnetic fluid placed between the side fibre surface and a small tube (1) with a diameter greater than fibre diameter.

A method for inputting commands to a holographic input system, includes the steps of generating a virtual image of an input device by illuminating a hologram of the input device by means of a corresponding reference beam, the hologram being prerecorded on a holographic support; optically detecting a position of at least one actuator for operating the input device with respect to the virtual image of the input device; and issuing at least one command signal corresponding to the position of that at least one actuator as optically detected. The optical detection operation further includes providing at least one actuation hologram corresponding to the at least one actuator being placed at a specified position with respect to the virtual image of the input device, illuminating the at least one actuator with a beam, in order to obtain scattering into a corresponding object beam interacting with one actuation hologram through the corresponding object beam; generating a respective actuation detection beam through the interaction; and detecting the respective actuation detection beam to issue the command signal.
摘要:
A method and an apparatus for reading passive tags affixed to objects to be identified and tracked by a radio frequency identification system are disclosed. An interrogating station sends radio-frequency inquiry signals toward the passive tags through an antenna array and receives the response signals from the tags through the same array. Electronic circuitry for processing such response signals has a phase conjugator submitting each received signal to phase conjugation, and the phase-conjugated signals are back transmitted to the passive tags. Retrodirectivity of the antenna array obtained through the phase conjugation allows a precise object identification and tracking also at relatively long distances.
摘要:
To determine the polymerization profile of a layer of polymeric material, particular a coating of an optical waveguide, a source sends a light radiation towards the layer under test at different angles of incidence, and both the portion of radiation reflected by the layer and the portion transmitted by the layer are converted into electrical signals. The electrical signals are supplied to devices for measuring their intensity, and a processing system processes the intensity values to obtain a value of the refractive index at a different depth inside the layer and to obtain the degree of polymerization at each depth by comparison with the values of the refractive index of a precursor of the polymer and of the fully polymerized material.
摘要:
The system uses a monochromatic radiation source (1) and an acousto-optic modulator (2), which acts as a Bragg modulator and is driven by a frequency which is caused to periodically vary. The modulator emits a first beam having the same wavelength as the source and a second beam, whose wavelength and emission direction vary with the modulating frequency and which is collimated. For measuring angular displacements, the collimated beam is recombined with the first beam after traversing a plate (5) with parallel and plane faces integral for the rotation with a moving device, and a photodetector (12) generates a beat signal whose frequency depends on the angular position of the plate (5). For measuring linear displacements, the two beams are directly sent onto a detector (12) integral with the moving device.

The radiation to be analyzed is sent onto an interference filter which selects different portions of the radiation spectrum in correspondence with different incidence angles. The intensity values of the radiation outgoing from the element are stored by a measuring and data processing unit which processes such values with the transfer function of the element to obtain the information on the spectrum.
摘要:
An optical fiber, being drawn from a preform and wound upon a reel, passes between parallel plates of a capacitor connected in a measuring circuit which, from the capacitance variations due to changes in fiber diameter, controls a reel-driving motor to minimize these variations. The capacitor may have a constant charge, as by having one of its plates made of an electret, in which case the capacitance variations are determined from voltage changes. A calculator connected to the measuring circuit translates these variations into numerical values representing the fiber diameter which can be visually displayed.
