APPLICATION OF AUTODYNE EHF-BAND SENSOR FOR TRANSPORT ELECTRONICS

Multifunctional (autodyne) application of Gann diodes allows to considerably simplify the schematic and design representation of devices. It means that the transmitter and transformer functions are provided at the same time with the amplification of useful.

WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO DO WITH POLYMERIC WASTE

The 20th century is characterized not only by impressive achievements in nuclear physics and molecular biology and a breakthrough of a man in outer space, but also by the intensive commercial production of new synthetic polymer-based materials which had never existed on the Earth before. The excellent properties of these new materials let them penetrate in all spheres of human life; now they are completely irreplaceable and absolutely necessary for people. However, together with intrinsic outstanding positive qualities, synthetic polymers have a significant disadvantage: unlike many natural materials, they, having worked out their resource and functions, are not quickly decomposed under the influence of the environment aggressive factors as light, heat, atmosphere gases, microorganisms and continue to exist in the form of a long-living waste, inflicting an irreparable damage to the nature. Numerous cases of a death of rare sea animals, for instance, giant sea turtles which swallow plastic bags floating on the sea surface mixed them up with medusas, their food, are known.

DIAGNOSTIC COMPLEX "SCANLINER" FOR TECHNICAL INSPECTION OF LINING OF SMOKE CHIMNEYS WITHOUT THEIR STOP

Smoke chimneys of the industrial operations difficult high-altitude engineering facilities, inside which the flow of aggressive gases of high temperature is gone. The technical inspection of smoke chimneys from within is conventional made by mounting a passenger jack and shooting by the video camera. Thus the full switching-off of the equipment of the operation, hooked up to a chimney is necessary. It is connected to significant labour costs and large financial losses. The diagnostic complex "SCANLINER" is unique, process engineering, not having analogs, of examination of smoke chimneys from within without cut off of the equipment of the operation working with a chimney.

IN-PIPE INSPECTIONS SERVICES

Thousands kilometers of pipelines go through all 5 continents. They are designed, constructed and tested in accordance with severe standards and building rules and regulations.

HIGH PERFORMANCE FIELD-ORIENTATED DRIVES

Utilising the robust, maintenance-free asynchronous motor in combination with COMBIVERT digital drives, it is now possible to incorporate these drives into fields of application where in the past service intensive DC or expensive servo technology have been the only options.

WORLD MARKET OF ANTIPERSONNEL MINES

In future, minefield is likely to be transformed into a kind of a "thinking creature". "Intelligent minefield" will be able to determine a direction and a type of a target, automatically arm and disarm itself as well as use its own radio-electronic countermeasures during mine delouse operation. Mine will no longer explode only upon of a pressure applied on it.

OPPORTUNITIES IN THE RUSSIAN RAIL SECTOR

Given its massive modernization needs, centrality to Russia’s economy, and considerable revenue flow (an esti-mated $1 billion in profits in 1999), the Russian rail sector represents one of the world’s largest markets for equipment supply (including rolling stock/locomotives, track maintenance, and other rail accessories), telecommunications, and rail management systems. Importantly, most experts agree that the United States offers Russia the best global model for freight railroading, based on technological factors related to distances, volumes, and climate conditions. Currently, the Russian Government is actively seek-ing ways to upgrade the railway network and rolling stock and to attract foreign investment.
