Route guidance system

Abstract: Provided is a route guidance system that provides a route in premises in order to perform service of route guidance in the premises, which includes: a route guidance apparatus, which is comprised of visible region calculation means that calculates a range where a user can see, signpost extraction means that extracts a signpost to be guided from a visible region, route search means that searches the route from a starting point to a destination, route information generation means that comprises guidance map generation means that generates a map for guidance and guidance sentence generation means that generates the guidance sentence, route leading means that obtains current positional information to send appropriate guidance information to a portable terminal, and position determination means that performs coordinate conversion to information from a position detection apparatus of the user; a portable terminal apparatus including a user interface, which displays an image or a route guidance sentence; a position detection apparatus that obtains current positional information of the user; a map DB that stores data/signpost information regarding the route; a guidance sentence DB that stores basic data for generating the guidance sentence; and route information data that stores guidance data output from the route information generation means.

View-point guided weapon system and target designation method

Abstract: A passive guidance system including a viewpoint capture system (VCS) including a first processor in communication with first memory and a first SWIR imager for creating a viewpoint image database having a plurality of images, at least one of the images having a target point. A weapon guidance module is in communication with the VCS and coupled to a weapon. The weapon guidance module includes a second processor in communication with second memory and a second SWIR imager for storing the viewpoint image database and correlating in-flight images from the second SWIR imager to provide guidance commands directing the weapon to the target point.

An advanced arrangement of the combined propulsion, levitation and guidance system of superconducting Maglev

Abstract: The PLG (combined propulsion, levitation and guidance) method was proposed for a more favorable Maglev ground coil system, combining the functions of propulsion, levitation, and guidance of the vehicle into one coil. Research and development is currently being conducted on this method. In this paper, the characteristics of a newly-structured system for the PLG method is examined. The discussed characteristics include propulsion, levitation-guidance, vehicle dynamics in the cases of problems with the superconducting magnets, and the magnetic field on board the vehicle.
