Compact prism-based optics for two-axis gimbal systems allowing large aperture and field of regard

Abstract: This paper presents an optical principle based on four right angle prisms with an optional intermediate lens that allows a large aperture combined with a large field of regard. The optics can be fitted into a small volume and the major part of the thermal imager is placed off-gimbal.

Bodywork construction for road vehicle

Abstract: The vehicle bodywork has a reinforcement element (7) fitted in the upper rear corner of a rear door aperture (3). This element extends round the corner of the door aperture and has an arm directed forwards. It is longer at the top than at the bottom. The forward-directed arm of the reinforcement element is carried in a carrier located above the door aperture. At the back, it is connected to elements in the bodywork fitted behind the door aperture. It is connected at its edges to other elements in the bodywork.

Object recognition by the use of a hand scanner and Fourier transform

Abstract: In autonomous manufacturing systems an important task is to recognize different 3D objects, e.g. workpieces. We have used the fact that different objects scatter laser light from a handscanner differently. To recognize the differences of the scattered light from the objects we have used Fourier transformation. It turns our that by using Fourier transformation we are able to recognize different objects and that this methods is a rather simple and inexpensive way to complement other object recognition systems, e.g. in robotic application.

European collaboration in conformal antenna research

Abstract: The work carried out within Work Package 2.4-3 of the EU network "antenna centre of excellence" (ACE) is presented in this paper. This work package is concerned with structuring research on conformal antennas. In more details, the work is focused on the problems associated with full benchmarking of conformal antennas, on development of hybrid programs for analyzing different classes of conformal antennas, and on investigation of properties of algorithms for optimizing beam synthesis and beam-steering for conformal arrays.
