Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
IN A METHOD FOR CALCULATING THE AIR SPEED OF A BODY MOVING IN SPACE WHICH INCLUDES STEPS OF PRODUCING AT A DISTANCE REMOTE FROM SAID BODY A VOLUME OF SPACE PERTURBED WITH SONIC ENERGY, DIRECTING A BEAM OF ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY FROM SAID BODY TOWARD SAID VOLUME OF SPACE, SUBSEQUENTLY DETECTING AT SAID BODY ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY BACK-SCATTERED FROM SAID VOLUME OF SPACE AND DETERMINING THE MAGNITUDE OF THE CHANGE IN FREQUENCY OF SAID DETECTED ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE RELATIVE MOTION OF SAID BODY AND SAID VOLUME OF SPACE.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
