    摘要: An air data system includes a laser emitter, a laser receiver, and an electronics module. The electronics module includes a processor and computer-readable memory encoded with instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the laser to emit a coherent light pulse into a target volume locating within an exhaust flow aft of an aircraft. The laser receiver detects backscatter produced by the coherent light pulse interacting with the aft target volume, and the electronics module determines an air data parameter based on the backscatter and at least one of an engine parameter indicative of an engine condition of the aircraft and an aircraft parameter indicative of a state of the aircraft before outputting the air data parameter to a consuming system of the aircraft.

    摘要: A method for determining a particle velocity of an aerosol by means of an aerosol measuring device. Aerosol particles flow through a measuring cell and are illuminated with an electromagnetic beam. The scattered light is registered and detected by a sensor. The temporal signal durations of the scattered light signals are determined, and the particle velocity of the aerosol is determined on the basis of the signal durations. Furthermore, the invention provides an aerosol measuring device designed to carry out the steps of the method according to the invention for determining the particle velocity of an aerosol. In addition, a computer program having program code means is provided, which computer program is configured to carry out the steps of the method according to the invention.

    摘要: This fluid measuring device is provided with: an irradiation unit that irradiates a fluid with light; a light receiving unit that receives light scattered by the fluid; a detecting unit that detects a backflow of the fluid on the basis of a light reception signal from the light receiving unit; and a calculating unit that calculates, on the basis of the detection result by the detection unit and the light reception signal from the light receiving unit, estimated fluid information indicating the flow rate or flow speed of the fluid. Accordingly, even when a backflow of the fluid temporarily occurs, the flow speed of the fluid can be precisely measured.

    摘要: A system for determining the distance or range from a LIDAR device and the wind direction uses optics configured in the Scheimpflug condition to establish range from the LIDAR to the atmosphere being measured. This LIDAR embodiment uses correlation techniques to establish wind speed and direction. Multiple laser beam lines of sight are required to determine wind direction and speed.
