Abstract:
A multiple perspective image camera has a plurality of camera elements, and coupling elements for mechanically coupling the camera elements together pairwise, as a “chain”. Each camera element generates an image using light rays incident on the camera element 81 in a single respective plane, and the coupling elements maintain the positions of the camera elements such that the planes of the camera elements share a common direction. The image captured by each camera element is elongate in the common direction. The respective elongate images are combined to form a multiple perspective image, successive strips of the output image being derived from the successive camera elements. The camera includes a control system for controlling the camera elements to take their respective images simultaneously, and communication paths for extracting the elongate images from the respective camera elements.

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:
An electronic device, a method applied to an electronic device, and a data processing device. The electronic device includes: a processing circuit configured to allow a cell to implement data transmission by using at least a portion of a time resource corresponding to an unused channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) port, wherein the CSI-RS port is from a CSR-RS configuration different from a CSI-RS configuration of the cell.

An electronic device in a wireless communication system, and a wireless communication method. The electronic device includes one or more processing circuits, and is configured to: respond to a measurement instruction from a base station in a wireless communication system, and separately measure channel state information reference signals (CSI-RSs) on one or more antenna ports; and generate feedback information according to the measurement result, so that the base station selects, from the one or more antenna ports, an antenna port used for transmitting to the CSI-RSs to the electronic device, the feedback information including occupation information of occupation condition of each of the one or more antenna ports. Port selection for CSI-RSs can be implemented, beamforming CSI-RS interference between cells and within a cell can be reduced, and system performance can be improved only requiring very low signaling overheads.

A dispersion compensation fiber comprises a fiber core and cladding. The fiber core is a core layer mainly doped with germanium and having a positive relative refractive index difference. The cladding covering the fiber core comprises a trench cladding mainly doped with fluorine, an annular cladding mainly doped with germanium, a matching cladding mainly doped with fluorine, and an outermost mechanical cladding in order. Relative refractive index differences of the fiber core and the claddings are respectively: Δ1% being 1.55% to 2.20%, Δ2% being −0.55% to −0.30%, Δ3% being 0.40% to 0.65%, Δ4% being −0.20% to −0.01%, and Δ5% being 0. Radius ranges, from R1 to R5, of the fiber core and the claddings are respectively: R1 being 1.4 to 1.7 μm, R2 being 4.1 to 4.8 μm, R3 being 6.7 to 8.8 μm, R4 being 10 to 17 μm, and R5 being 38 to 63 μm.
Abstract:
A universal multipurpose sensor fixing device comprises a radial positioning mechanism, supporting mechanisms, bases, acoustic emission test sensor mounting mechanisms, and parallelism adjusting members. Each supporting mechanism includes a main arm and an auxiliary arm having one end connected to the main arm and a ball head on the other end. A parallelism adjusting member mounting mechanism is provided at the joint of the main arm and the auxiliary arm. The main arms are respectively connected to the two free ends of the radial positioning mechanism to position the auxiliary arms at the inner sides of the main arms, arranged axis symmetrically with respect to the central line of the radial positioning mechanism. The ball heads of the two auxiliary arms are located within spherical holes of the bases to form universal revolute pairs. A set of acoustic emission test sensor mounting mechanisms are mounted at each base.
