摘要： A multi-spectral sensor assembly having a plurality of mosaics of four-side buttable focal plane arrays in which each mosaic array is responsive to a different range of the electromagnetic spectrum. The scene image is received through a baffled solar shade to a beam-splitting element which transmits a first portion of the received image in a first electromagnetic spectrum to a short wave infrared (SWIR) buttable focal plane array detector element. The beam-splitting element transmits a second portion of the received image in a second electromagnetic spectrum to a mid-wave infrared (MWIR) buttable focal plane array detector element by means of a folding mirror. The first and second portions of the received image are passed through a filter wheel having multiple selectable optical filters to provide a multi-spectral imaging system.

The system includes a station configured to send an activation message, at least a first “primary” remote transmitting unit responsive to the station and configured to transmit the activation message and at least a one “secondary” remote transmitting unit. That unit includes a receiver which receives the activation message, a transmitter for transmitting the activation message, and a controller responsive to the receiver and controlling the transmitter. The controller is programmed to transmit the activation message and then automatically stop transmission of the activation message after a predetermined time period unless the activation message is again received.

摘要： Synchronization for achieving low power battery operation of a vehicle locating unit in a stolen vehicle recovery system whose radio receiver receives periodic transmissions, includes receiving periodic transmissions; turning on a radio receiver for a limited time to detect an expected message; if an expected message is not found, turning off the receiver and turning it on again after a time asynchronous with the transmission period; and after finding an expected message, waiting for the period of the transmissions less the length of an expected message and then looking for a synchronization symbol in the expected message and synchronizing subsequent actuation of the receiver using that synchronization symbol.
