摘要： A safety device is used to protect golfers located in blind areas of a golf course from balls being driven, for example, off the tee. The safety device is manually activated by a push-button switch once the golfers enter the blind area. The switch initiates a low current drain, high-intensity, strobe light blinking at a 1 Hz rate that is visible from both the tee and blind areas even in bright sunshine. An electronic timer deactivates the strobe after N minutes. A wireless transmitter link located outside the blind area can be used to recycle the timer prior to the elapsed time (minutes) for those golfers who play more quickly.

摘要： This invention describes a high voltage, very short pulse, microwave radiating source using low-cost components, and capable of operating at high pulse repetition frequencies (prf). The source is activated by an ordinary video trigger commensurate with driving TTL logic. A trigger will cause a chain of N (where N may be 12 or greater) avalanche transistors connected in a Marx generator configuration to threshold resulting in a 1,200 volt or greater baseband pulse having a rise time of less than 100 ps and a duration of about 3 ns driving the input port of a dipole antenna. The dipole is excited by a balun. This invention achieves very short pulse duration broadband microwave radiation at pulse repetition frequencies as high as 30 kHz or greater.

摘要： A four-terminal network in tandem with a tunnel diode (TD) threshold receiver currently used in radar or communications improves its sensitivity. Previous inventors have shown that the temperature and sensitivity properties of a conventional TD threshold device used for detecting very short duration bursts of microwave energy would be enhanced by appropriately biasing the TD by a current derived from the thermal noise; the current sets the TD operating point. The magnitude of the current is determined by a constant false alarm rate (CFAR) feedback loop. The subject invention recognizes that a TD changes states (i.e., a detection event) when the area under the current vs. time curve or the charge passing through the device exceeds a prescribed number of picocoulombs. To maximize the charge and improve detection, a form of superheterodyne conversion is introduced to convert the oscillatory short pulse microwave signal received by an antenna to a monopolar baseband signal. This is done by mixing the incoming signal with a CW carrier whose frequency is precisely chosen so that the resulting beat frequency is one-half of an rf cycle for the given duration of the microwave burst. This maximizes the charge available to trigger the TD. Proper gain and filtering is provided in the adjunct four-terminal network to establish minimum noise figure and appropriate gain to drive the TD held in a CFAR loop. It is shown both mathematically and experimentally that the subject invention can increase the receiver sensitivity by a factor of 20 dB or greater over the prior art. Proper microwave gain is provided to establish the noise figure prior to mixing in the added four-terminal network and a bandpass filter is employed to discard frequency components and the gain of a wideband IF (e.g., 0-500 MGz) is selected to appropriately drive the TD.

摘要： A transmitter array includes a number of individual transmitters, each contributing a series of short microwave pulses each consisting of only several cycles to make up an RF pulse in the far field. Apparatus for closed loop synchronizing the pulses from each transmitter in order to maximize the amplitude of the RF pulse includes a Voltage Control Oscillator which provides a continuous wave (CW) reference to each transmitter and includes apparatus for dividing the CW down to feed a series of timers in each transmitter, each timer having a means for setting the time and duration of firing and providing an output signal synchronously related to the CW. A dual polarity peak detector fine tunes the individual transmitters via closed loop feedback to compensate for any thermal drift. A novel time delay vs. voltage transducer is used to achieve closed loop synchronization. Short term pulse jitter is significantly reduced by overtriggering the avalanche transistor. Beam steering is accomplished by simply adjusting a regulated DC voltage at each radiating source in the array. The end result is a low cost means for forming a time steered array of short pulse microwave sources.

摘要： The operating characteristics of deep well pumping equipment in a geothermal well power-generation system are observed by cooperating sensor and communication elements permanently associated with the geothermal well equipment itself. Bridge circuit sensors detect well water temperature and water pressure below and above the pump, while a further sensor detects pump rotational speed. The data is transmitted by a multiplexing acoustic communication link coupled to receiver and display means located at the earth's surface. An electrical generator driven at the pump speed serves as the rotational speed pick off and additionally supplies multiplexing and signal processor power for use at the down-well site. The signal processor includes novel diode circuits in each bridge sensor channel for monitoring the operation of the individual sensors and their common power source, thereby providing a surface display of the parameter being measured by a particular sensor channel and additionally providing a calibrating display of the operating status of that channel.
