BLITS
BLITS (Ball Lens In The Space) is a Russian satellite launched on September 17, 2009, as a secondary payload on a Soyuz-2.1b/Fregat, from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The satellite is totally passive and spherical, and is tracked using satellite laser ranging (SLR) by the International Laser Ranging Service. The design of BLITS is based on the optical Luneburg lens concept. The retroreflector is a multilayer glass sphere; it provides uniform reflection characteristics when viewed within a very wide range of angles, and can provide a cross-section sufficient for observations at low to medium orbit heights. A similar design was already tested on a smaller laser reflector carried on board of the METEOR-3M spacecraft launched on December 10, 2001. The purpose of the mission was to validate the spherical glass retroreflector satellite concept and obtain SLR (Satellite Laser Ranging) data for solution of scientific problems in geophysics, geodynamics, and relativity.

Black & Lane's Ident Tones For Surround
Black & Lane's Ident Tones for Surround (BLITS) is a way of keeping track of channels in a mixed surround-sound, stereo, and mono world.Martin BlackIPS BLITS Surround Sound Ident.pdf "BLITS Surround Sound Ident" ''Lineup'', February/March 2007, page 16 It was developed by Martin Black and Keith Lane of Sky TV London in 2004. BLITS is used by Sky, the BBC and other European and US broadcasters to identify and lineup 5.1 broadcast circuits. It is also an EBU standardEBU Tech 3304 It is designed to function as a 5.1 identification and phase-checking signal and to be meaningful in stereo when an automated downmix to stereo is employed. BLITS is a set of tones designed for television 5.1 sound line-up. It consists of three distinct sections. The first section is made up from short tones at -18 dBfs to identify each channel individually: Ø L/R: Front LEFT and Front RIGHT - 880 Hz Ø C: CENTRE - 1320 Hz Ø Lfe: (Low Frequency Effects) - 82.5 Hz Ø Ls/Rs: Surro ...
