Description
The present invention relates to a receiver-transmitter device for transmitting data by means of focused, modulated light beams, more particularly, by means of pulse-coded laser beams, comprising a photoelectric sensor intended for the incoming light beam and coupled to an optical receiver device, an optical device for transmitting an answer light beam in the direction of the input light beam and a modulator for modulating the answer light beam. As used herein, the term light beam includes visible and invisible beams such as infrared and other optical radiation beams which may be optically controlled.
The exchange of data between two stations by means of a modulated light beam can occur, for example, in conventional communication systems such as telephoto, modulated light speech, teleprinting systems, etc. A preferred application for the present invention is that of data exchange in military identification systems for detecting and distinguishing targets, known under the abreviation IFF. In systems of this type, such as the systems described in German Auslegeschrift No. 2,142,944 and German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2,215,463, an interrogating station, which is generally connected with a weapon, transmits an interrogation signal to an unidentified target, which, if it is a friendly or allied target, is received at the target, where it triggers the transmission of a suitably coded answer signal to the interrogating station. Dependent on whether this answer is or is not received, further operations are then controlled at the interrogating station, for example, the releasing of the target bombardment.
A problem which occurs not only in the case of this military data exchange system but also in the case of every data exchange system employing focused light beams, more particularly, laser beams, is that the answer light beam must be transmitted exactly in the direction of the received light beam in order for it to reach the interrogating station. The earlier proposals for solving this problem were directed to the task of designing the optical receiver device in such a way that it was possible to determine the direction of the incoming light beam in terms of its elevation and azimuth, thus enabling a transmitter for transmitting the answer light beam to be controlled according to the determined directional values. As this system necessitates the use of complicated direction finding systems and directional coupling devices for guiding the transmitting device even in the case of stationary receiver stations, it will be appreciated that in the case of receiver stations mounted on transport means, for example, on tanks, ships, etc., the problem is even more difficult and can only be solved at great expense using gyroscopically stabilized devices. Furthermore, these systems do not offer a sufficiently high degree of operational reliability when they are used as IFF equipment; this demands immediate reaction of the target, generally in the msec. range. The orientation periods required by the regulating devices would be excessive. An answer signal transmitter which transmits over a wide optical range is not desirable, as the signals could be picked up at other points. Furthermore, it would be nceessary to use considerably more energy which should be avoided in view of the threshold value which the human eye can tolerate.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is thus, with simple means, to produce a device capable of transmitting a suitably modulated answer light beam exactly in the direction of the input light beam.
According to the invention, this problem is solved by means of at least one optical reflector reflecting back on itself the input light beam and by means of an optical modulator connected in the path of the output light beam produced by this reflection.
Thus, in contrast to the earlier proposals, the theory of separately producing, aligning and stabilizing an answer light beam has been dropped and the input light beam per se is used as the carrier and also the answer signal which modulates it when it is reflected. The advantage of this is that the requirement that the input and output light beam should be uniformly directed is always completely fulfilled.
Reflectors which reflect back a light beam in themselves, irrespective of the direction of incidence are known, for example, in the form of triple reflectors (retro-reflectors, corner reflectors), and are used, for example, in geodesy, for measuring distances by means of methods employing light. What is novel is the combination according to the invention of a reflector of this type, with both a sensor, to which is connected a device intended to evaluate the data contained in the input light beam, and with a modulator for the reflected output light beam.
In contrast to the former proposals which proceed from modulation of the output light which is produced separately, i.e., corresponding control of the answer transmitter, the present invention employs optical modulators, which could also be referred to as electrooptical switches, for transmitted light. Modulators of this type are also known and available, for example, in the form of liquid crystal or KDP modulators or piezo-ceramic modulators.
The angle, within which a triple reflector can receive and reflect back a light beam, is limited. To obtain omnidirectional reception it is possible to arrange, preferably a plurality of reflectors, each with their respective sensor and modulator, in a suitable manner, for example, in the form of a ring, a semi-sphere, or the like. In this case, to simplify the arrangement, it is also possible to provide a common central sensor having a semi-spherical reception characteristic for all the reflectors disposed in a ring-form or spherical arrangement. If necessary, some or all the reflectors can also be associated with a common modulator.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the modulator is normally in the light-impermeable, blocking state and it is only controlled into the light-permeable state when the appropriate input light beam is received by the sensor. This prevents the reflector from being used for unauthorized bearing or distance measurements.
Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be made apparent in the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof provided with reference to the accompanying drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the device according to the invention.
FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic view of a preferred arrangement of the reflectors.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The device represented in diagrammatic form in FIG. 1 is used to receive a sharply focused light beam 1. This is produced and transmitted by an interrogating station (not represented) which is provided with suitable view finding devices (also not shown) for sighting the answering station. The transmitting device for producing the light beam 1 is either directly coupled with this view finding device in an axially parallel manner or it is coupled via remote-control follow-up devices and, if necessary, is spatially stabilized, for example, by means of a gyroscopic device. When the device according to the invention is being used for military purposes, the view finder is most likely the view finder of a weapon. The transmitting device for producing the light beam 1 is preferably a laser, more particularly, a semiconductor laser, possibly having optical devices for focusing the light beam connected in series therewith. A light beam 1 having a power density below the tolerance limit for the human eye is preferably used; this can be obtained very easily by means of semiconductor lasers.
The interrogating light beam 1 comprises a modulation for indentification and/or data transmission purposes. This preferably consists of a pulse modulation having fixed or variable frequencies and/or a fixed frequency with incorporated identification codes for the receiver. At the receiver station, where the device shown in FIG. 1 is located, the light beam 1 falls onto a reflector 8, more particularly a triple reflector. The latter reflects the light beam 1 on itself, irrespective of the direction of incidence of the light beam, i.e., even in the case of the oblique angle of incidence 1', thereby producing an output or answer light beam 3 or 3'. This answer light beam, which is produced by reflection, is used according to the invention as the carrier of the answer modulation. It can also be used at the transmitting station for resighting the receiver station.
A portion of the input light beam 1 falls on a photoelectric sensor 2, which can consist of a normal photodiode or, if elevated sensitivities and switching rates are required, of, for example, an avalanche-photodiode. The output signal of the sensor 2 is transmitted through an amplifier 13 to a discriminator 4 where the information contained in the light beam 1, which has been received, can be evaluated. For example, the identification value which has been received can be compared with a stored identification value and the correspondence and/or lack of correspondence can be visually and/or acoustically indicated in an indicator stage 5, thereby informing the answer station that an interrogating signal has been received. It is obviously also possible for the indicator station to reproduce spoken information by means of a loudspeaker, teleprinter, or the like.
A modulator or mask 7 is connected in series with the reflector 8. The light transmittancy of the modulator 7 can be varied by selectively applying an electric signal thereto for selectively masking and unmasking the reflector 8. A modulator of this type, which can also be considered as an optical switch, can be in the form of a liquid crystal, KHD or piezo-ceramic modulator. The conventional Kerr cells and Pockel cells are also suitable, in principle, but on account of their high cost, the small aperture and other disadvantages, they are less preferably.
The modulator on mask 7 is controllable by the discriminator stage 4 which draws its control signal, for example, from an amplifier and signal stage 9. The control signal can be fed into the stage 9 either as a speech signal by a microphone 10 or as a standardized identification signal for friend- enemy-recognition, which is stored in storage unit 11 or which is supplied by means of a coding device. The discriminator controls the modulator 7 via the modulation control stage 6 in such a way as to ensure that the modulation of the reflected light beam 3 is only triggered when a correctly coded interrogation signal contained in the input light beam 1 is received via the sensor 2 and the discriminator 4. The information contained in the input signal thus releases modulation or digital coding of the answer light beam 3 by means of the information contained in the storage unit 11 and/or produces the change-over to commencement of light signal traffic by means of the signal input device, for example, a microphone.
The modulator 7 is preferably so controlled that it is normally in a constantly opaque blocking state, thereby preventing foreign light signals from reaching the reflector, i.e., to prevent this from being used by a supposed enemy for taking a bearing on the receiver station. Opening of the modulator is only started after a coded signal picked up by a parallel sensor has been decoded and recognized as a friendly signal.
In deviation from this mode of operation, it is obviously also possible to initially keep the optical modulator 7 constantly open for reception of a light beam 1, thus enabling the light beam to strike the reflector 8 and be returned to the transmitting or interrogating station. This may be desirable for the purpose of orienting the laser emitter.
The reflector, modulator and/or sensor can be combined in one unit, for example, they can be glued or cemented together in a light-permeable manner. FIG. 2 represents, by way of example, a triangular block 14, inside which is formed the triple reflector 8, and to the front face of which are glued the sensor 2 and the modulator 7. The respective electrical connections have not been represented so as to simplify the drawing.
To obtain omnidirectional reception, a plurality of reflectors in the form of the triple reflectors 8, can be used, for example, in a circular or crown-shaped arrangement. This is represented by way of example in FIG. 2 by the addition of further triangular glass blocks 14'. Each of these triple reflectors can be provided with its own modulator 7 and its own photoelectric sensor 2. However, another embodiment is also possible wherein the light strikes a common, central sensor 2' having an omnidirectional reception characteristic. The circular arrangement can be filled in at its upper and lower part to form a generally spherical device. A plurality of devices, each covering a sector, can be connected in parallel to increase the efficiency of the device.
Other features which improve the operation of the device can also be provided. More particularly, it can be designed in such a way that only light beams of the specific wave length which is used by the particular transmitting station can reach the reflector and/or be reflected by the same. This can be achieved by selective dereflection of the continuous surfaces and/or selective mirror-coating of the reflection surfaces of the modulator and/or reflector.

Follow Wallace on Twitter » Chat archive »Follow on Twitter0 SharesEmailPrintCommentDETROIT -- Masahiro Tanaka threw 49 pitches in a simulated game on the field at Comerica Park on Thursday morning, and both he and New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi agreed that Tanaka came out of it with no pain in his injured right elbow.Where they disagreed, however, was in their assessment of how close Tanaka was to returning to pitch in a major league game.Masahiro Tanaka, who threw a simulated game on Thursday, doesn't believe he's game-ready yet. AP Photo/Chris O'Meara"I'm optimistic," Girardi said after Tanaka threw three innings against Yankees backup shortstop Brendan Ryan, taking rests in between in an attempt to recreate the flow of a real game. "I haven't seen anything that leads me to believe he won't take the next step. At no point has he said he's felt anything in his arm. I think he has normal soreness after a day like today, but I am optimistic."Tanaka, however, was less enthusiastic after the approximately 30-minute workout, in which Ryan hit the ball hard several times and appeared to get at least three base hits."I'm actually still not there yet," Tanaka said through an interpreter. "I think some of the balls I am throwing I'm still not able to hit my spots. The rust is still there, so I still have some work to do to get back to game-ready."Asked if he was "excited" about the prospect of pitching in a game again this season, an unsmiling Tanaka said, "I think that being cautious is better than being more excited."And in a later, separate interview session with the Japanese media, Tanaka said he would need more than the two more simulated games Girardi had hoped would get him ready to return to action, according to a member of Tanaka's personal contingent."He said he would have to talk to the manager about that," said Yoshiki Sato, Tanaka's Japanese press liaison.The difference in perception cast some doubt about Tanaka's ability to return this season from a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament, an injury that generally requires Tommy John surgery and a year-long recovery period.The Yankees are attempting to rehab Tanaka's injury without surgery. He received a platelet-rich plasma injection after suffering the injury in a game on July 8, and after a three-week healing period was put on a throwing program designed to get him back on the mound sometime in September.Thursday's workout was Tanaka's first attempt to throw to a hitter under near-game conditions, with Girardi and pitching coach Larry Rothschild calling balls and strikes from behind an L-screen on the infield.Ryan, a right-handed batter, was also asked to take some swings left-handed, and Tanaka got his only swing-and-miss of the session with Ryan batting from the left side. From the right side, Ryan grounded what appeared to be a single over the mound and lined another into center field in the first inning. He also hit a hard line drive to right in the third inning."He looked good," Ryan said. "He's not going to be where he was right before he got hurt, obviously; he's been off for quite a while. But it's good to see him out there."Asked how close he thought Tanaka was to major league ready, Ryan said, "Pretty close. He can go out there and get outs, but you want to do the responsible thing and you want to give him the best chance to have success and help us. I'm definitely encouraged myself. I want to say it's a little bit exciting."Ryan said Tanaka threw some effective sliders and a few splitters, his signature pitch and the one that is considered most taxing to the elbow."They were moving; some kind of came towards me, some kind of cut," Ryan said. "Some of them were so dirty you just forget to swing."But the enthusiasm of Girardi and Ryan was tempered by Tanaka's apparent disappointment with his own performance."I think all of my pitches now are still rusty," he said. "I can't really say until I actually step on a mound in a game, but right now all I'm trying to do is get myself back to the best shape possible."Tanaka was a legitimate AL Cy Young and Rookie of the Year candidate over the first half of the season, with an 11-1 record and 1.99 ERA in his first 14 starts. But he lost three of his next four, with a 4.35 ERA in those games, and left in the seventh inning of a game in Cleveland complaining of pain in his elbow.With the Yankees scuffling to salvage a playoff spot over the last 31 games, the return of an effective Tanaka to their rotation would be a major boost to their chances, a prospect that seemed to excite Girardi.Asked if he was already starting to consider Tanaka a part of his September rotation, the manager said, "You can. I don't think you plan your whole schedule around it, but you have an idea that it's possible that he could come back at some point here. I think today was a step in the right direction."

Digging the Graveyard of Oil’s Past - The New York Times
Energy & Environment |Digging the Graveyard of Oil’s Past

As the energy industry evolves, production platforms in the North Sea, once a crucial source of crude oil, are being dismantled and sold for scrap.
Moored off the port of Rotterdam, Netherlands, Pioneering Spirit looms so large that it is difficult to recognize as a ship. The crew of 450 is dwarfed by the cranes and pipes that dominate the sprawling layers of decks.
For decades, Edward Heerema, head of Allseas, the Swiss-based energy services company, dreamed of building a giant vessel to install oil platforms offshore. But the Pioneering Spirit has found another purpose: dismantling oil fields in the British North Sea.

With oil prices dropping sharply in the last two years, Mr. Heerema said he was now just focused on finding enough work to meet his payroll. “I can’t say how long it will take to pay for itself. Maybe 10 years, maybe 30 years,” he said of the ship.
The British North Sea was once a crucial source of oil for the world. At its peak in 1999, it produced about 2.9 million barrels of oil a day, more than Kuwait or Iraq at the time.
Since then, production has generally been in a long slide as oil fields discovered decades ago are exhausted and high costs discourage new exploration. Its diminishing fortunes have been cemented by the rise of renewables and the push for cleaner alternatives to oil.
“It is one of those signs that we may be at a tipping point,” said Anthony Hobley, chief executive of Carbon Tracker, a nonprofit group that studies the investment risks of the shifting energy landscape. “We may well be at that critical point in history where people will say that this is the point where the oil industry reached its peak and began to decline.”
This spring, the Pioneering Spirit headed to the Brent field in the North Sea, a major oil and gas trove named after the Brent goose. The field helped define the business, giving its name to Brent crude, the global price benchmark for oil.
After 40 years of production, the field is nearly pumped out. And a group of four platforms in the field — giant rigs that stand around 1,000 feet tall and weigh a combined million tons — are gradually being shut down.
This spring, the Pioneering Spirit transported one platform to its final resting place, a shipyard in Hartlepool in northeast England where it is being dismantled and sold for scrap. An industry in itself, this so-called decommissioning process creates jobs and profits along the journey.

Discovered in 1971, the Brent field was one of several major finds that turned the North Sea into a world-class oil region. Companies like Royal Dutch Shell, which operates the Brent field, and Exxon Mobil, its co-owner, focused their investments in the West, after a wave of nationalization in the Middle East and elsewhere.
The North Sea is a vast operation, with more than 300 fields scattered across 95,000 square miles. Shell built four giant platforms in the Brent field, called Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta, capable of withstanding giant waves and hostile weather.
Shell must safely dismantle these monsters and plug more than 100 wells below them. The company estimates that the process will last a decade and cost billions of dollars, some paid by British taxpayers.
Such exercises will be increasingly common in the North Sea and other oil regions. Around 100 platforms are expected to be dismantled in British waters over the next decade.
Shell figures that hiring Pioneering Spirit to cart the platforms to shore where they can be dismantled is cheaper and safer than busting them up at sea. “The biggest risk is putting people on helicopters,” said Alistair Hope, Shell’s project director, referring to the usual means of transportation to offshore platforms.
The oil companies do not want a repeat of the mid-1990s. Back then, Shell’s plan to sink a piece of Brent equipment, called Brent Spar, in the ocean depths caused a bruising fight with environmental groups led by Greenpeace and prompted stricter regulation.
Delta, the first platform to be taken apart, consists of what is known as a topside, a kind of offshore petroleum factory and hotel with accommodation for more than 160 people. The platform rests on concrete legs that weigh a combined 300,000 tons.CreditCarsten Snejbjerg for The New York Times
Delta, the first platform to be taken apart, consists of what is known as a topside, a kind of offshore petroleum factory and hotel with accommodation for more than 160 people. The platform rests on concrete legs that weigh a combined 300,000 tons.
In late April, Pioneering Spirit lifted the ungainly structure off the legs and carried it off like a spider grasping prey. Shell wants to leave the concrete stumps, which contain some oil, in place at sea, saying they pose minimal risk to shipping routes and have less chance of polluting the environment that way.
Once Brent Delta reached the port in Hartlepool, the platform became the property of Able UK.

In the mid-1990s, Peter Stephenson, Able’s owner, bought an old shipyard, capitalizing on the industrial area’s decline. When the financial crisis struck, he took advantage of cheap steel prices to invest £28 million in facilities, like a reinforced dock to bear the weight of a platform.CreditCarsten Snejbjerg for The New York Times
In the mid-1990s, Peter Stephenson, Able’s owner, bought an old shipyard, capitalizing on the industrial area’s decline. When the financial crisis struck, he took advantage of cheap steel prices to invest £28 million in facilities, like a reinforced dock to bear the weight of the platform.
As Able workers break apart the rig, Shell will continue to watch over the process, to make sure that hazardous or polluting material like asbestos or small amounts of remaining oil are handled properly.
Workers will strip off anything valuable, like brass valves or other metal equipment. Larger pieces will gradually be cut loose and brought to the ground. They will most likely be sold to steel mills, which melt scrap to make new metal.
Mr. Stephenson, 70, has squeezed a fortune of an estimated 430 million pounds out of unwanted properties over the last six decades. At 19, he started out buying a broken front loader, a machine for scooping dirt into trucks — then fixing it and hiring it out. He later moved into demolition.

In recent years, Able has dismantled ships for the United States Navy, as well as the French aircraft carrier Clemenceau. He recently began buying idled coal-fired power plants, breaking them up for scrap and redeveloping their sites.
Mr. Stephenson sees value in everything.
He has turned the living quarters of a scrapped BP offshore platform into a makeshift motel and office for workers of drilling rigs that come into the yard for maintenance. A helicopter deck is being cut up for bridging material.
The future of energy is represented, too. A torpedo-shaped device discarded by General Electric was a prototype for a machine that generates electricity from ocean waves.
As the Brent Delta platform moved through the channel, a group of Mr. Stephenson’s friends, family and associates ate roast pork and stuffing, ham and peas pudding and other regional fare in a white tent pitched by the water. Winning a big job is a lift for a region that has been hit by the decline of some mainstay industries like the recently shuttered Redcar steel plant visible in the distance.
“This proves the northeast can still do stuff,” said Marcus Walker, a project director at Coolsilk, a local real estate investment firm.
Mr. Stephenson says the Brent contract will preserve or create up to 50 jobs. His company makes a practice of hiring and buying locally. A catering company called The Old Butchers Sandwich Shop provided food to guests and workers on the yard.
“There have been a lot of peaks and troughs over the last few years,” said Heidi McCullagh, who runs the catering company. “When a contract comes in, you have suddenly got a queue at the door.”

Guests can now create their own full course dinner menu by combining their favorite Mimi's Entree, Soup, Salad or Petite Treat® Dessert ... all at a special everyday value. At Mimi's, creating a meal unique to personal taste preferences is as easy as 1-2-3.

As part of its "Value Revolution," Mimi's My Way 1-2-3 was created to appeal to guests who would like to dine out more frequently, but given the uncertain economic times, may be less inclined to do so. Guests can choose any 1 Entree and make it a 2-Course Meal, featuring its famous Soups or a crisp Garden or Caesar Salad for an additional $2, or a 3-Course Meal, featuring the above plus a decedent Petite Treat Dessert for an additional $3.
"Our guests know and love us for a variety of dinner favorites. We also know times are tight and that dining out at dinner has become more challenging in this economy," said Mark Mears, Mimi's President and Chief Concept Officer. "While other restaurants lure guests with meal deals that offer only limited selections of appetizers, entrees and dessert combinations, Mimi's My Way 1-2-3 offers ultimate guest flexibility. It is an everyday value which allows guests to be creative when dining out and customize their meal to suit their individual tastes, appetite and budget."
With Mimi's My Way 1-2-3, diners can choose from Mimi's freshly prepared Cafe Classics Entrees, including Oven Fresh Pot Roast, Chicken Pot Pie and Country Fried Steak, as well as more adventurous Gourmet Francais selections, including Chicken Brie Dijon and Beef Bourguignon, and many more. To create a 2-Course Meal, guests can add a Cup of Soup or a Garden or Caesar Salad to a dinner of their choice for only $2. For $3, guests can create a complete 3-Course Meal that includes a Cup of Soup or a Caesar or Garden Salad and a Petite Treat Dessert. The perfectly portioned sweet treats include Mimi's famous Bread Pudding, Fresh Apple Cinnamon Crisp, Triple Chocolate Brownie and Chocolate Mousse.
Mimi's My Way 1-2-3 offers an affordable dinner solution that guests customize to their liking. "This program is yet another way we are adding 'Revolutionary Value' and ultimate flexibility to enhance our guests' dining experience at Mimi's," Mears adds, "no strings attached."
Mimi's Cafe serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Mimi's offers private dining rooms for special gatherings, catering and to-go menus, and online ordering. Many restaurants have a full bar featuring specialty cocktails, and all restaurants serve wine and beer.
