    Abstract: A method is provided for supporting an aircraft approaching a runway on an airfield. The method includes receiving a sequence of images of the airfield, captured by a camera onboard the aircraft approaching the runway. For at least one image of the sequence of images, the method includes applying the image(s) to a machine learning model trained to predict a pose of the aircraft relative to the runway. The machine learning model is configured to map the image(s) to the pose based on a training set of labeled images with respective ground truth poses of the aircraft relative to the runway. The pose is output as a current pose estimate of the aircraft relative to the runway for use in at least one of monitoring the current pose estimate, generating an alert based on the current pose estimate, or guidance or control of the aircraft on a final approach.

    Abstract: A method of supporting an aircraft approaching a runway is provided. Example implementations involve receiving a sequence of images, captured by a camera onboard the aircraft. Example implementations involve applying a received image to a machine learning model trained to detect the runway or a runway marking in the image, and to produce a mask that includes a segment of pixels of the image assigned to an object class for the runway or marking. Example implementations may also involve applying the mask to a corner detector to detect interest points on the mask and match the interest points to corresponding points on the runway or the marking that have known runway-framed local coordinates. Example implementations may also involve performing a perspective-n-point estimation to determine a current pose estimate of the aircraft relative to the runway or the marking and outputting the current pose estimate for use during final approach.

    Abstract: An apparatus for processing a cable including an insulating member, a shielding layer, and a conductor, the apparatus includes a frame forming a housing having an aperture configured to receive an end portion of the cable; a first gripping member disposed within the housing and being configured to grip the cable; and a second gripping member disposed within the housing and being configured to grip the cable; wherein the second gripping member is mounted within the housing so as to be movable relative to the first gripping member to effect fanning and cutting of a portion of the shielding layer.

    Abstract: A visualization system using mixed reality provides an “extended view” to the pilot or other crew of an aircraft. The extended view enables the user to visualize obstructed objects projected onto the real world scene viewed by the pilot using an optical the see-through display (OSTD) thus providing the user with greater situational awareness. A LIDAR point cloud model of the environment around the aircraft is generated from two or more laser scanning devices providing a 360 degree panoramic view. The combined point cloud model is aligned with the pilot's real world view based on the pilot's “pose” and projected onto the OSTD as an overlay so that the pilot sees the combined point cloud model in relation to the real world as seen by the pilot. One aspect of the invention is that the raw sensor data from the LIDAR devices is displayed on the actual real-world scene as a point cloud without any further image processing to enhance the user's perception.

    Abstract: A shield trim is performed by tearing bunched shield strands circumferentially along a circular edge. The apparatus includes a pair of aligned metal plates that have been drilled through multiple times such that holes of varying diameters pass may be passed through both plates. A cable gripper on the entry side of the device clamps the cable in place. A shield gripper on the rear side of the device closes over the exposed shielding of the cable, and the two plates are pushed together. The shield gripper travels with the rear plate, pushing the shield over the wires and causing the shield to bunch between the two plates. With the two plates pushed together, both grippers open and the cable is pulled free from the device. This pull forces a stress concentration on the shield strands as they are pulled and subsequently torn across the sharp edge of the hole, producing a uniformly trimmed shield.
