Abstract:
A method of measuring distance between a target and a receiver in a ranging system may comprise transmitting a first pulse at a first time determined by a sampling clock in a receiver, receiving the first pulse, sampling the first pulse at a predetermined amplitude threshold using the sampling clock and determining the time of arrival of the first pulse in terms of a number of periods of the sampling clock after the first pulse was transmitted. This may be repeated for a second pulse and the average times of arrival of the first and second pulses are determined to obtain an averaged estimated time of arrival. The distance between the target and the receiver may be determined by multiplying the averaged estimated time of arrival by the speed of propagation of the transmitted pulses. There is also disclosed an apparatus for measuring distance.

Abstract:
A system and method for determining position of, for example, a robot based on reflected signals comprises a transmitter for transmitting signals in a number of directions within a range of directions and a receiver for receiving echoes of the signals from any direction in the range. The transmitter has a first rotatable antenna and the receiver has a second rotatable antenna which is mechanically couplable to the second antenna. The received echoes are processed by a processor to derive echo data signals indicative of the distance of the system to one or more reflective surfaces and the direction of the reflective surface(s) relative to the system. The processor is arranged to determine the position of the system relative to a starting position from the derived echo data signals indicative of the distance of the system to the reflective surface(s) and the direction of the reflective surface(s) relative to the system.

Abstract:
An unequal helix-angle end mill includes a cutting part and a handle part. The cutting part is provided with a plurality of flutes, each spirally extending from the bottom end to the handle part. The face of each flute facing the cutting rotation direction is a rake face, wherein the rake face and an outer peripheral face of the cutting part are intersected to form an outer peripheral blade, and the helix-angle of at least one of the peripheral blades is different from those of the other peripheral blades. A face joined with the peripheral blade among the outer peripheral face of the cutting part is a rear face. The width B of the edge flap of each peripheral blade is equal on a plane orthogonal to a rotating axis of the end mill. The unequal helix-angle end mill has high strength, and enhances the cutting depth and durability.

Abstract:
A three-dimensional imaging apparatus 101 for generating an image of a three-dimensional object 111 is disclosed. The 3D-imaging apparatus 101 has two sets 103a, 103b of reflective elements 105, an image-capturing device 107 and a processor. The image-capturing device 107 is for capturing two images using rays emitted from the object 111 and reflected from each of the two sets 103a, 103b of reflective elements 105. The processor is arranged to identify a plurality of sets of matching points in the respective captured images, each set of the matching points having been generated by the respective rays emitted by a single corresponding element of the object 111. For each set of the matching points identified in the respective captured images, the processor is arranged to determine a location of the corresponding element of the object 111. Thus, a three-dimensional image of the object 111 can be generated by the processor using the determined locations of a plurality of elements of the object 111. A method of generating a three-dimensional image of an object is also disclosed.
