Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
AN INERTIAL GUIDANCE SYSTEM COMPRISING TWO GUIDANCE GROUPS, EACH GROUP HAVING A PLURALITY OF SUPERCONDUCTING MEANS EACH OF WHICH DEFINES A MOVABLE ELECTRICAL CAVITY, ENERGY INJECTION MEANS ASSOCIATED WITH EACH OF SAID PLURALITY OF SUPERCONDUCTING MEANS FOR INJECTING ENERGY IN EACH SAID CAVITY TO ESTABLISH A RESONANT WAVE HAVING A PREDICTABLE MAGNETIC NODE POSITION, ENERGY DETECTION MEANS MOUNTED ON EACH CAVITY AND INITIALLY POSITIONED AT THE ORIGINALLY ESTABLISHED RESONANT WAVE MAGNETIC NODE POSITION, SWITCH CONTROL MEANS FOR PROVIDING ENERGY INJECTION IN ONE OF SAID GROUPS WHILE ENERGY DETECTION IS TAKING PLACE IN THE OTHER OF SAID GROUPS, SAID ENERGY INJECTION AND DETECTION MEANS COMPRISING A THERMAL MEANS FOR CAUSING A PORTION OF EACH OF SAID SUPERCONDUCTING MEANS TO BECOME RESISTIVE AND LOOP MEANS ASSOCIATED WITH EACH SAID THERMAL MEANS FOR PROVIDING ENERGY INJECTION AND DETECTION OPERATION.
