Terrain database integrity monitoring for synthetic vision systems

A real-time terrain database integrity monitor for synthetic vision systems (SVS) that are to be used in civil aviation is presented. SVS provides pilots with advanced display technology including terrain information as well as other information about the external environment such as obstacles and traffic. The use of SVS to support strategic and tactical decision-making and the compelling nature of the terrain depiction may require terrain database server certification at the essential and flight-critical levels. SVS and terrain database characteristics are discussed and a failure model is identified. Real-time integrity monitors are proposed that check the consistency between terrain profiles described by the database and terrain profiles that are sensed in flight by either a downward-looking (DWL) sensor or a forward-looking (FWL) season A DWL sensor scheme is discussed in detail and it is shown that this scheme can provide the necessary integrity required for an essential certification of a terrain database server.     

Collimator-based Fourier-transform imaging

In viewpoint of signal processing, we describe the principle of collimator-based Fourier-transform imaging, from verifying Fourier-transform function of collimator to presenting theoretical model of dirty image. This gives us a guideline in designing collimator imager, that is configuring the subcollimators properly to improve the quality of the dirty image. Here we optimize the arrangement of the subcollimators of YOHKOH Hard X-ray Telescope (HXT) to get the Point Spread Function of sidelobes as small as possible and simulate that with MATLAB.     

Crosslink slot assignment in LEO networks

The problem of crosslink time slot assignment in low Earth orbiting (LEO) satellite networks is addressed. A crosslink channel connects two neighboring satellites through half-duplexed directional antennas. Coordination among the crosslinks between a satellite and all its neighbors in a dynamic LEO network is a delicate problem and rarely addressed in the literature. The problem is solved here using bipartite graphs. Two versions of slot assignment algorithm are given: distributed and centralized.     

路孔:河水带来的遥远繁华

路孔．一个傍水而建．因水而兴的古镇。身处路孔．开始怀念河水带来的遥远的繁华．也默默感受着濑溪河对路孔的不离不弃。 距重庆荣昌县城13公里的路孔镇不大．只有24平方公里．却足以让人怀古思幽。在古镇上，人们最津津乐道的是古镇的名．因水而名的传说。相传明朝有位叫曾傲的和尚，云游到此，见河对岸带风景宜人．适于修身养性．决定在此建座寺庙。和尚发觉坡边有八个石孔．似与河中相通，     

等截面通道角形挤压对高纯铝微观组织及力学性能的影响

采用等截面通道角形挤压技术对高纯铝进行室温大塑性变形 ,通过不同角度模具沿路径 A组合挤压 ,实现了高纯铝的晶粒细化 ,晶粒尺寸可达 0 .6 μm以下 ,且硬度和屈服强度显著增加。微观组织分析表明 :不同角度模具组合挤压可以得到不同的剪切平面组合 ,使得相邻两次挤压剪切平面的夹角为 75°,从而使得高纯铝在相对较小的塑性变形情况下得到超细晶粒结构 ,证明等截面通道角形挤压方法中剪切平面对晶粒细化效果的影响是非常大的

The O/OREOS mission: first science data from the Space Environment Survivability of Living Organisms (SESLO) payload

We report the first telemetered spaceflight science results from the orbiting Space Environment Survivability of Living Organisms (SESLO) experiment, executed by one of the two 10?cm cube-format payloads aboard the 5.5?kg Organism/Organic Exposure to Orbital Stresses (O/OREOS) free-flying nanosatellite. The O/OREOS spacecraft was launched successfully to a 72° inclination, 650?km Earth orbit on 19 November 2010. This satellite provides access to the radiation environment of space in relatively weak regions of Earth's protective magnetosphere as it passes close to the north and south magnetic poles; the total dose rate is about 15 times that in the orbit of the International Space Station. The SESLO experiment measures the long-term survival, germination, and growth responses, including metabolic activity, of Bacillus subtilis spores exposed to the microgravity, ionizing radiation, and heavy-ion bombardment of its high-inclination orbit. Six microwells containing wild-type (168) and six more containing radiation-sensitive mutant (WN1087) strains of dried B. subtilis spores were rehydrated with nutrient medium after 14 days in space to allow the spores to germinate and grow. Similarly, the same distribution of organisms in a different set of microwells was rehydrated with nutrient medium after 97 days in space. The nutrient medium included the redox dye Alamar blue, which changes color in response to cellular metabolic activity. Three-color transmitted intensity measurements of all microwells were telemetered to Earth within days of each of the 48?h growth experiments. We report here on the evaluation and interpretation of these spaceflight data in comparison to delayed-synchronous laboratory ground control experiments.

Three-dimensional path planning for unmanned aerial vehicle based on interfered fluid dynamical system

This paper proposes a method for planning the three-dimensional path for low-flying unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) in complex terrain based on interfered fluid dynamical system(IFDS) and the theory of obstacle avoidance by the flowing stream. With no requirement of solutions to fluid equations under complex boundary conditions, the proposed method is suitable for situations with complex terrain and different shapes of obstacles. Firstly, by transforming the mountains, radar and anti-aircraft fire in complex terrain into cylindrical, conical, spherical, parallelepiped obstacles and their combinations, the 3D low-flying path planning problem is turned into solving streamlines for obstacle avoidance by fluid flow. Secondly, on the basis of a unified mathematical expression of typical obstacle shapes including sphere, cylinder, cone and parallelepiped, the modulation matrix for interfered fluid dynamical system is constructed and 3D streamlines around a single obstacle are obtained. Solutions to streamlines with multiple obstacles are then derived using weighted average of the velocity field. Thirdly, extra control force method and virtual obstacle method are proposed to deal with the stagnation point and the case of obstacles’ overlapping respectively. Finally, taking path length and flight height as sub-goals, genetic algorithm(GA) is used to obtain optimal 3D path under the maneuverability constraints of the UAV. Simulation results show that the environmental modeling is simple and the path is smooth and suitable for UAV. Theoretical proof is also presented to show that the proposed method has no effect on the characteristics of fluid avoiding obstacles.
