Abstract:
A headmounted display system includes a transparency defining a field of view for a user. An information display is mounted on a support which in turn mounts the transparency on the user's head. Mirror means is disposed in the periphery of the field of view so as to collimate light to project an image of the displayed information at a distance from the user. This distance is less than inifinity.
Abstract:
Die angemeldete Vorrichtung dient der Messung von Geschwindigkeit und zurückgelegter Strecke beim Skilaufen. Am Ski befinden sich, nach unten gerichtet, ein Sender und ein Empfänger von Ultraschallwellen. Je nach Gleitgeschwindigkeit weicht die empfangene Frequenz von der gesendeten ab(Doppler-Effekt). Das Ausmaß der gemessenen Frequenzabweichung läßt einen Rückschluß auf die Geschwindigkeit zu. In Verbindung mit einer Zeitmessung läßt sich auch der Weg errechnen. Angesichts der nur begrenzten Anforderungen an die Exaktheit der Meßergebnisse kann die anlage klein genug für einen Einbau in den Ski sein. Als "Rechner" dient ein Chip, die Anzeige erfolgt auf Knopfdruck auf einem Display. Energiequelle ist eine Batterie.
Abstract:
Thevelocity measuring correlation sonar disclosed employs a planar array of receiving transducers (33 to 36) spaced in the directions (V X and Vy) along which velocity components parallel to the plane of the array are to be measured, and includes means (31) for transmitting a series of two or more identical pulses which are separated by a time interval selected in accordance with transducer separation and the estimated velocity components so as to place the expected point of maximum correlation of the echo return from one pulse with that from a following pulse within the boundaries of a set of spatial sample points representing relative spacings between pairs of receiving transducers. Correlation measurements are made (at 63) corresponding to these relative spacings of the receiving transducers, with each such measurement being treated as a sample of a space-time correlation function of predetermined shape. The location of the peak of this function in each of the directions of interest is estimated by curve fitting techniques, and yields the velocity vector in that direction scaled by the inter-pulse time interval. The velocity component normal to the plane of the array may be derived by estimating the location of the correlation peak as a function of time and/or phase, using similar curve fitting techniques.
Abstract:
The vessel speed measurement device (1) includes a transducer (20) that transmits ultrasonic waves into water and receives reflected waves of ultrasonic waves, and a signal processing circuit (110) that calculates the speed through water of the vessel on which the transducer (20) is installed, based on the reception signal output from the transducer (20). A target depth at which the speed through water in the vertical direction is substantially zero is identified based on the reception signal. The speed through water in the horizontal direction is acquired with respect to the target depth as the speed through water.
Abstract:
The purpose is to provide a Doppler device, a depression angle estimation method, and a program capable of obtaining sound velocity or temperature in water at a low cost and in real time. The Doppler device generates a first echo signal in a first direction d1 making a depression angle θ with a receiving surface 11a of a transducer 11 from a reflected wave of an ultrasonic wave, generates a second echo signal from the reflected wave in a second direction d2 making the depression angle θ with the receiving surface 11a, the second direction d2 being different from the first direction d1, and further generates a third echo signal from the reflected wave in a third direction d3 perpendicular to the receiving surface 11a. The Doppler device calculates a first Doppler frequency of the first echo signal, calculates a second Doppler frequency of the second echo signal, and calculates a third Doppler frequency of the third echo signal. The Doppler device calculates the depression angle θ from the first Doppler frequency, the second Doppler frequency and the third Doppler frequency.
