A ring switch disposed behind the aperture in the main reflector generates a unidirectional sector scan beam that is collimated and transmitted to the far field, via the reflectors. The ring switch is comprised of two-ring shaped waveguide halves one of which rotates with respect to the other.  3, fiche 2, Anglais, - ring%20switch

MILES is a system the Army uses for wargames. You mount a small box, the transmitter, on the end of the barrel of your weapon, and wear a harness that has several straps on the front and back with infrared receptors on them. You also have a key that is normally in the transmitter to enable it. The transmitter has a microphone in it, and whenever a shot is fired, the sound causes it to fire a coded IR laser beam. The sensors on the harness are wired to a box on the back which detects when you have been hit. If you are, a beeper starts sounding loudly. To turn it off you have to take the key out of the transmitter, thus disabling it, and put it in a switch in the harness. Then you are "dead", and have to wait for an observer to come around with a special key that can reset the harness. They can also use the God gun, which is so called because it can fire pulses that will "kill" you like the other transmitters, but it can also fire pulses that reset your harness(bring you back to life...)  1, fiche 3, Anglais, - God%20gun

The refractory photocell uses a beam of light that passes through a small chamber at a point away from the light source. Normally, the light does not strike the photocell, and no current is produced. This allows the switch to remain open. When smoke enters the chamber, it causes the light beam to be refracted... in all directions. A portion of the scattered light strikes the photocell causing the current to flow.  1, fiche 4, Anglais, - refractory%20photocell

Dans le cas de la photocellule à réfraction, le faisceau lumineux traverse une petite chambre à un point à l'écart de la source de lumière. En règle générale, la lumière ne touche pas la photocellule et aucun courant n'est produit. En l'absence de courant, l'interrupteur demeure ouvert. La présence de fumée dans la chambre provoque la réfraction (dispersion)du faisceau lumineux dont une partie atteint la photocellule. Le courant ainsi produit provoque la fermeture de l'interrupteur et déclenche le signal d'alarme [...]  1, fiche 4, Français, - photocellule%20%C3%A0%20r%C3%A9fraction
