US Patent:

49757075, Dec 4, 1990

Filed:

Jul 13, 1989

Appl. No.:

7/380177

Inventors:

Jordan R. Smith - Castle Rock CO

Assignee:

Energetics Satellite Corporation - Englewood CO

International Classification:

H04B 7185

US Classification:

342357

Abstract:

A locating system employs a multiple satellite configuration employing rotating scanning patterns for generating peak signal data which can be used to calculate the position of a signal source within a scanned region. One preferred embodiment utilizes two spaced satellites in high earth geosynchronous orbit and simultaneous narrow antenna beam rotation patterns to scan a substantial portion of the earth's surface. The invention is particularly advantageous for locating stolen vehicles and for tracking inventory. The system may also be used for determining altitude of a signal source that may, for example, be located on an aircraft in flight. An alternative embodiment employs a peak-detecting ground-based receiver and satellite or other scanning devices which generate and transmit a signal to the receiver indicating the precise current position of the antenna of each satellite. The ground-based receiver is equipped with a computer for calculating its own position by repeatedly correlating the time of peak signal detection and the data from the received satellite signals. Such an alternative embodiment would enable precise self-position determination without the use of a command center.

Abstract:

A method of storing and/or transporting core samples in a temperature controlled container includes inserting a core sample into the container and inputting a temperature value into a control panel of the container. The container includes one or more reinforcement members and one or more strap guides coupled an exterior of the container. A temperature of a space within the container where the core samples are located is measured and compared to the temperature value. The space within the container where the core samples are located is heated or cooled until the temperature of the space is substantially equal to the temperature value. The container and the core samples located within the container can be transported from a drilling site to a testing facility.
