It is a system able to operate in real time, wholly automatically, for the automatic detection of the presence/absence of characterizing members of the infrastructure itself, for example the coupling locks fastening the rails to the sleepers. | 08-06-2009 |
20090141216 | LIQUID CRYSTAL GEOMETRICAL PHASE OPTICAL ELEMENTS AND A SYSTEM FOR GENERATING AND RAPIDLY SWITCHING HELICAL MODES OF AN ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE, BASED ON THESE OPTICAL ELEMENTS - Geometrical phase optical elements comprising, as a birefringent means, a liquid crystal material with a spatially inhomogeneous orientation of the molecular director in a plane orthogonal to the direction of propagation of an input radiation beam, ordered according to a predetermined geometrical pattern. Also, an optical system for generating helical modes of propagation of an optical radiation beam, including a geometrical phase optical element orientated transversely to the direction of propagation of the beam, whose optical axis is orientated according to a predetermined geometrical relation adapted to transform a circular polarized input radiation beam into a helical mode with a wavefront having a helical surface whose handedness is a function of the handedness of the input polarization, in which the switching between different orders of helicity of the radiation beam emerging from the geometrical phase optical element is carried out by switching the circular polarization state of the input radiation. | 06-04-2009 |
