Abstract:
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Rotor (10) einer permanentmagneterregten elektrischen Maschine (100), aufweisend eine Mehrzahl von Permanentmagneten (18), die eine Mehrzahl von Rotorpolen bilden, welche um einen an einen Luftspalt (102) der elektrischen Maschine (100) angrenzenden Umfang des Rotors (10) herum angeordnet sind, wobei die Permanentmagnete (18) als in einen Rotorkörper (16) eingebettete Permanentmagnete ausgebildet sind, wobei jeder Rotorpol zwei V-förmig zueinander angeordnete Permanentmagnete (18) aufweist, wobei jeder der beiden Permanentmagnete (18) jeweils einen Schenkel des V bildet, wobei die beiden Permanentmagnete (18) eines jeweiligen Rotorpols an einem vom Luftspalt (102) fernen Ende einander zugewandt sind und sich zu einem gegenüberliegenden dem Luftspalt (102) näheren Ende hin voneinander weg erstrecken, und wobei der Rotorkörper (16) wenigstens eine in den Luftspalt (102) mündende Ausnehmung (24) aufweist.
Abstract:
A fault-tolerant LCD display system comprises an LCD panel and a first driver coupled to the LCD panel and including a first gate driver and a first source driver, the first driver including a first transient voltage suppressor. A second driver is also coupled to the LCD panel and includes a second gate driver and a second source driver, the second driver including a second transient voltage suppressor. One of the first and second drivers is operable to be active while the other is inactive, and vice versa, and the first and second drivers are isolated from one another. The first and second transient voltage suppressors are operable to prevent a back biasing voltage from leaking back through the inactive driver and thus the transient voltage suppressors are operative to prevent a back biasing voltage from shunting through the non-active driver.
Abstract:
An enhanced vision system includes a first optic subsystem and a transparent photodetector subsystem disposed within a common housing. The first optic subsystem may include passive devices such as simple or compound lenses, active devices such as low-light enhancing image intensifiers, or a combination of passive and active devices. The transparent photodetector subsystem receives the visible image exiting the first optic subsystem and converts a portion of the electromagnetic energy in the visible image to a signal communicated to image analysis circuitry. On a real-time or near real-time basis, the image analysis circuitry detects and identifies structures, objects, and/or individuals in the visible image. The image analysis circuitry provides an output that includes information regarding the structure, objects, and individuals to the system user contemporaneous with the system user viewing the visible image.
Abstract:
Detecting timing of a synchronization sequence included in a data stream transmitted in a noisy channel. The synchronization sequence is a known data sequence purposely injected into the data stream for synchronization. A data stream waveform, is obtained from a noisy communication channel. The data stream waveform includes an instance of a synchronization sequence waveform. One or more samples of the synchronization sequence waveform are obtained. One or more samples of a model synchronization sequence waveform are obtained. The model synchronization sequence waveform models an expected waveform for the synchronization sequence being transmitted on the communication channel by applying the synchronization sequence to a model of the communication channel. The instance of the synchronization sequence waveform is correlated with the model synchronization sequence waveform by correlating one or more samples of the synchronization sequence waveform with the one or more samples of the model synchronization sequence waveform.
Abstract:
A portable communication station has a reflector dish that can be assembled and disassembled by a user. It has a hub with two spaced parallel plates extending from a hub body. A set of interchangeable dish segments together make up a concave reflective surface with the hub, and they each have a respective hub connector structure that snaps into place in the hub between the plates. Latches connect between the adjacent dish segments to secure them together. The latches each have a latching member that snaps over a latch element so that two engagement faces of the latch are compressed against each other, making the dish shape accurate and robust enough to withstand wind and other environmental factors. The dish can be disassembled by unlatching the latches and pulling the segments away from the hub.
Abstract:
A satellite is configured for use in space so as to receive RF signals, convert them to a different frequency range, and re -transmit the converted RF signals. The satellite comprises a payload area supporting a motherboard structure with a plurality of frequency converters supported on it. The frequency converters are each connected with an antenna system of the satellite so that each of them receives a respective RF input signal. A local oscillator source supported on said motherboard structure generates a local oscillator signal, and a motherboard in the motherboard structure receives the local oscillator signal and transmits it through the motherboard to each of the frequency converters. The frequency converters each convert the respective RF input signal to a respective RF output signal using the local oscillator signal and transmit the RF output signal to the antenna system so as to be transmitted wirelessly.
Abstract:
Reconfigurable payload systems (RPS) and methods of configuring and using the same are disclosed that may be employed to enable external aircraft payloads to be rapidly interchanged or swapped out together with associated internal equipment within a given aircraft so as to modify or change payload capability of the aircraft, e.g ., to meet a particular mission and/or to enable use of future payload types as they are developed. The RPS and associated methods may be implemented to allow multiple different payload systems to be swapped in and out on a given aircraft as required based on needs for a given mission.
Abstract:
Radiation is directed at an object, and radiation scattered by the object is sensed. An angular distribution of scatter in the sensed scattered radiation relative to a path of the radiation directed at the object is determined, and the angular distribution is evaluated. One or more atomic numbers, or effective atomic numbers, of materials composing the object is determined based on evaluating the angular distribution.
Abstract:
A system and method for training a student employ a simulation station that displays output to the student and receives input. The computer system has a rules engine operating on it and computer accessible data storage storing (i) learning object data including learning objects configured to provide interaction with the student at the simulation system and (ii) rule data defining a plurality of rules accessed by the rules engine. The rules data includes, for each rule, respective (a) if-portion data defining a condition of data and (b) then-portion data defining an action to be performed at the simulation station. The rules engine causes the computer system to perform the action when the condition of data is present in the data storage. For at least some of the rules, the action comprises output of one of the learning objects so as to interact with the student.
