Abstract:
A head-up display system for a vehicle facilitating the use of night vision goggles for a person in the vehicle during night vision conditions, the system comprising a light source for providing light to an image source, which image source is arranged to project an image on a semi-transparent combiner mirror; the combiner mirror being arranged to superimpose the projected image onto a view of the environment in front of the vehicle by transmitting light rays from the environment and at the same time reflecting the projected image towards the eyes of an observer wherein the system comprises a first and a second light source for alternatively providing light to the image source; the first light source being arranged to emit light of a first colour to be used during daylight conditions, and the second light source being arranged to emit light of a second colour to be used during night vision conditions, wherein the first colour is in a first light emission spectrum and perceived as green and the second colour is in a second emission spectrum and perceived as yellow or orange.
Abstract:
A method for calculating a Time To Go value between a vehicle and an intruding object. First and second images of the object are retrieved at first and second points of time. A scaling factor is selected and the second image scaled with the scale factor. The scaled image is resampled to a set position. Correlation values are calculated between the first image and the resampled scaled image for different horizontal displacements and/or different vertical displacements for the resampled scaled image. A maximum correlation value is found based on the correlation values. Selecting the scaling factor, resampling, calculating the correlation values, and finding the maximum correlation values are repeated a second predetermined number of times. A largest maximum correlation value is found among the maximum correlation values and the scale factor associated with the largest maximum correlation value. The Time To Go is calculated based on the associated scale factor.

The upper ply of the aircraft article composite forming tool includes a nano filament structure embedded therein. A blank is conformed onto the aircraft article composite forming tool. The aircraft article is formed on the upper ply of the forming surface. The forming surface of the aircraft article composite forming tool is adapted to form an aerodynamic surface of the aircraft article. The blank is cured into the aircraft article. The composite aircraft article is finished.
Abstract:
For adjustment of the direction of its thrust vector, an ejection seat rocket motor is mounted on the ejectable frame element for bodily angular motion, or has an adjustable gas deflector. The seat element, heightwise adjustable on the frame element, has a motion transmitting connection with the rocket motor whereby the thrust vector is maintained in desired relation to the center of gravity of the seat/occupant mass in every position of seat adjustment. At high speeds an airspeed responsive member transiently engages, during ejection, a sensing member associated with said connection, modifying the thrust vector adjustment.
Abstract:
An optical apparatus for displaying spectral images is disclosed, the device including two reflecting planes fixed at right angles to each other but displaceable with respect to an image plane to permit a scanning of an optical image. Both reflecting planes are at a 45* angle with the image plane, and the line of intersection of the two reflecting planes oscillates in a direction which is transverse to the line of intersection of the reflecting planes, whereby the image is scanned sinusoidally past an opening in the image plane. A light-sensitive element behind the opening transforms the light into an electrical signal which corresponds in amplitude to the light intensity and which can be displayed on an oscilloscope. A sensing means tracks the swing movement, generating a signal which may be used as one coordinate axis of the oscilloscope display. A phase correction network is located between the sensing means and the oscilloscope so that the correct phase relationship between the oscillating swing and the display may be obtained.
Abstract:
The nozzle from which primary fluid issues has its axis transverse to a pair of spaced apart wall members. It extends through one of the wall members, in which there are secondary fluid inlet means, and has its mouth spaced from the other wall member so that the latter divergingly deflects the incoming primary fluid.
Abstract:
A specimen plate having a lengthwise slidable cover is placed on a carriage to move therewith into and out of an isolation chamber. A cover holder, movable in and out both relative to the carriage and with it, detachably retains the cover and prevents it from moving with the carriage beyond predetermined limits, so that the specimen plate is slid out of the cover and exposed while moving into the isolation chamber with the carriage, and is slid back into the cover as it is moved out of the isolation chamber.
