Abstract: A system and a method of generating a three-dimensional terrain model using one-dimensional interferometry of a rotating radar unit is provided herein. Height information is evaluated from phase differences between two echoes by applying a Kalman filter in relation to a phase confidence map that is generated from phase forward projections relating to formerly analyzed phase data. The radar system starts from a flat earth model and gathers height information of the actual terrain as the platform approaches it. Height ambiguities are corrected by removing redundant 2π multiples from the unwrapped phase difference between the echoes.

Abstract: Aircraft system and method detecting and present information relating to adverse airborne phenomena along an aircraft flight route. An imaging unit that includes an IR detector and a tunable spectral filter acquires IR images of the external environment, by acquiring wideband IR images when operating in a first mode and narrowband IR images respective of difference IR spectral bands when operating in a second mode. A data analysis unit detects and determines characteristics of adverse airborne phenomena in the environment based on at least the spectral signatures of environmental features in the acquired narrowband IR images. A display unit dynamically displays a visual representation of the detected adverse airborne phenomenon and its determined characteristics, overlaid onto a view of the external environment displayed to an operator of the aircraft. The visual representation may include variable visual attributes representing respective categories of characteristics of the detected adverse airborne phenomenon.

Abstract: A first thermal management approach involves an air flow through cooling mechanism with multiple airflow channels for dissipating heat generated in a PCA. The air flow direction through at least one of the channels is different from the air flow direction through at least another of the channels. Alternatively or additionally, the airflow inlet of at least one channel is off-axis with respect to the airflow outlet. A second thermal management approach involves the fabrication of a PCB with enhanced durability by mitigating via cracking or PTH fatigue. At least one PCB layer is composed of a base material formed from a 3D woven fiberglass fabric, and conductive material deposited onto the base material surface. A conductive PTH extends through the base material of multiple PCB layers, where the CTE of the base material along the z-axis direction substantially matches the CTE of the conductive material along the x-axis direction.

Abstract: A device for image gating using an array of reflective elements is provided herein. The device includes an array of reflective elements, wherein each one of the reflective elements is movable within a range of a plurality of tilt positions, wherein the array is located at an image plane of the device, wherein the array is perpendicular to an optical axis of the device. The device further includes a control unit configured to control the reflective elements such that in at least some of the tilt positions, the reflective elements reflect the radiant flux at said image plane, to one or more projection planes. A gradual rotation of the reflective elements along the plurality of tilt positions result in a gradual increase or decrease in the intensity of the image reflected from the array of reflective elements while maintaining the image integrity.

Abstract: Method and system for enhancing visual perception of augmented reality presentation. The location and line-of-sight (LOS) of a user wearing a see-through head-mounted display (HMD) is detected. A future background environment to be viewed by the user through the HMD is predicted based on at least the detected location and detected LOS. At least one color-attribute of the future background environment at a background location corresponding to a user LOS is predicted. The predicted color-attribute is compared with at least one color-attribute of an intended foreground supplementary image to be projected on the HMD overlaid onto the future background environment at the background location. When an incompatibility condition is detected, at least one visual parameter of the supplementary image is adjusted to minimize the incompatibility condition, and the supplementary image is projected on the HMD at the background location with the adjusted visual parameter.

Abstract: System and method for presenting magnified images locked onto object of interest in operator environment. A camera disposed on head of operator captures images of scene, where camera moves in conjunction with head movements. A head tracker detects the operator LOS by detecting at least head orientation. A processor obtains designated coordinates of object of interest in scene, and determines relative angle between detected operator LOS and object. The processor determines coordinates of object in acquired images, and applies image processing for fine stabilization of images based on previous images so as to compensate for operator head movements. The processor rescales an image region surrounding object of interest, in accordance with at least one display parameter, to produce respective magnified image frames of object. A head-mounted display displays the magnified images to operator such that object of interest appears in a defined position on display regardless of operator head movements.
