    Abstract: Energy scavenging health monitors are provided for assessing the health of components onboard aircraft and other vehicles, as are methods carried-out by energy scavenging health monitors. In various embodiments, the energy scavenging health monitor includes an energy scavenger system, a controller coupled to the energy scavenger system, and a first sensor coupled to the controller. During operation of the health monitor, the first sensor provides sensor signals to the controller, which are indicative of an operational parameter pertaining to a monitored device of the vehicle. Storage media contains computer-readable instructions, which when executed by the controller, cause the energy scavenging health monitor to determine when a predetermined trigger event has occurred based, at least in part, on electrical input signals received from the energy scavenger system. In response to occurrence of the predetermined trigger event, the controller further stores data indicative of the sensor signals in the storage media.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide improved systems and methods for matching scenes. In one embodiment, a processor for implementing robust feature matching between images comprises: a first process for extracting a first feature set from a first image projection and extracting a second feature set from a second image projection; a memory for storing the first feature set and the second feature set; and a second process for feature matching using invariant mutual relations between features of the first feature set and the second feature set; wherein the second feature set is selected from the second image projection based on the identification of similar descriptive subsets between the second image projection and the first image projection.

    Abstract: In some examples, a processor is configured to predict the presence of ice crystals (e.g., high altitude ice crystals) in a volume of airspace based on radar reflectivity values and one or more other types of information indicative of weather conditions in the volume of airspace, such as one or more of: ambient air temperature and altitude. For example, the processor may predict the ice crystals presence by at least estimating the iced water content level within a volume of airspace of interest based on radar reflectivity values for the volume of airspace (e.g., stored as in a three-dimensional buffer) and other information indicative of weather conditions of the volume of airspace. The processor may estimate the iced water content level using a model that relates the information indicative of weather conditions in and around the volume of interest to iced water content in the atmosphere.

    Abstract: A DC-DC converter circuit includes a high-side transistor, a low side transistor, a gate driver power supply, a converter control, and a capacitance divider network. The high-side transistor includes a high-side drain terminal, a high-side source terminal, and a high-side gate terminal. The high-side drain terminal is coupled to a positive DC supply terminal. The gate driver power supply is electrically isolated from the high-side transistor and the low-side transistor. The converter control is configured to supply high-side control commands and low-side control commands to the high-side transistor and the low-side transistor, respectively. The capacitance divider network includes a first capacitor and a second capacitor. The first capacitor is electrically connected in series, at a DC-link midpoint node, to the second capacitor. The DC-link midpoint node, the gate driver power supply, and the converter control are all electrically connected to, and share, a local electrical ground.
