Method and apparatus for contour mapping using synthetic aperture radar [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
By using two SAR antennas spaced a known distance, B, and oriented at substantially the same look angle to illuminate the same target area, pixel data from the two antennas may be compared in phase to determine a difference delta phi from which a slant ...

Mapping surgical coordinates of the sphenopalatine foramen : surgical navigation study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Aims to identify measurements that may help intra operative localisation of the sphenopalatine foramen. The study used three dimensional surgical navigation software to study radiological anatomy, in order to define the distances and angulations between ...

Numerical Simulation of the Advantages of the Figure-Eight Flapping Motion of an Insect on Aerodynamics under Low Reynolds Number Conditions

open access: yesBiomimetics
In proceeding with the advanced development of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which are small flying machines, understanding the flight of insects is important because UAVs that use flight are attracting attention.

Energization pf polar-cusp electrons at the noon meridian [PDF]

open access: yes
Observations gained with an electrostatic analyzer on board the low altitude, polar orbiting Aeriel 4 satellite demonstrate that the directional, differential spectra of polar-cusp electron intensities are regulated by the sign of the interplanetary ...

A motion-decomposition approach to address gimbal lock in the 3-cylinder open chain mechanism description of a joint coordinate system at the glenohumeral joint [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In this study, the standard-sequence properties of a joint coordinate system were implemented for the glenohumeral joint by the use of a set of instantaneous geometrical planes.

An improved empirical model for diversity gain on Earth-space propagation paths [PDF]

open access: yes
An empirical model was generated to estimate diversity gain on Earth-space propagation paths as a function of Earth terminal separation distance, link frequency, elevation angle, and angle between the baseline and the path azimuth.

The optical system of the H.E.S.S. imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, Part II: mirror alignment and point spread function

open access: yes, 2003
Mirror facets of the H.E.S.S. imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes are aligned using stars imaged onto the closed lid of the PMT camera, viewed by a CCD camera.

Error analysis and corrections to pupil diameter measurements with Langley Research Center's oculometer [PDF]

open access: yes
Factors that can affect oculometer measurements of pupil diameter are: horizontal (azimuth) and vertical (elevation) viewing angle of the pilot; refraction of the eye and cornea; changes in distance of eye to camera; illumination intensity of light on ...
