Detection & Tracking of Multi-Scenic Lane Based on Segnet-LSTM Semantic Split Network2021-01-008304/06/2021
Lane detection is an important component in automatic pilot system and advanced driving assistance system (ADAS). The stability and precision of lane detection will directly determine precision of control and lane plan of vehicles. Traditional mechanical vision lane detection approaches in complicated environment have the deficiencies of low precision and feature semantic description disabilities. But the lane detection depending on deep learning, e.g. SCNN network, LaneNet network, ENet-SAD network have imbalance problems of splitting precision and storage usage. This paper proposes an approach of high-efficiency deep learning Segnet-LSTM semantic segmentation network. This network structure is composed with encoding network and corresponding decoding networks. First, convolution and maximum pooling. The proposal extracts texture details of five images and stores searching position of maximum pooling. Meanwhile, it will implement interpolate processing to the lost points. Then, by up

Motor Used to Stabilize Remote-Controlled Camera CraneTBMG-1005208/01/2006
It is a staple of the summer box office blockbuster: the car chase. Car chases have not only become a vital component of an action movie, they have also had to evolve, with audiences demanding even more thrills. To put the audience directly into the flow of traffic, studio executives turn to companies like Adventure Equipment, whose Ultimate Arm, a gyrostablized, camera-mounted, remote-controlled crane system attached to an SUV, gets in where the action is. Maxon Motors’ (Fall River MA) RE40 motor is used to maneuver the camera, capturing all the adrenaline-pumping moments.

Report on User's Guidefor Monthly Vector Wind Profile ModelTBMG-750011/01/2001
A report briefly describes a user's guide for a computer program that constructs vector wind profiles on the basis of a statistical model. The monthly vector wind profiles are meant to be used (1) to estimate wind-dispersion-related dispersions of critical aerodynamic loads and corresponding aerospace-ascent-vehicle design parameters and (2) to analyze effects of monthly wind-profile dispersions on ascent trajectories and to design ascent autopilot systems to correct for these effects. The user's guide is also said to list output data to aid the user in the verification of test output.

DOUGLAS LOOKS AT THE ALL-WEATHER LANDING PROBLEMS62038101/01/1962
Because commercial airlines are losing millions of dollars each year due to severe weather conditions, there is an economic basis for developing equipment that will allow lower approach minimums. The airlines have active programs of improving airplane system performance and pilot proficiency through training. Present jet altitude minimums for approach may be reduced from 300 feet to 200 feet with present instruments and automatic pilots. The Douglas Aircraft Company and Sperry Phoenix Company have developed a practical system for overcoming approach-beam variations through the use of barometric sink rate. Barometric sink rate was demonstrated to provide a smooth flight path to point of flare. Additional work needs to be considered and improved instrument displays most likely will be required.

Pneumatic and Sonic Measurement of Combustion-Chamber Volume56000801/01/1956
AMONG the difficulties usually associated with measurement of combustion-chamber volume by liquid methods are amount of time required, contamination of combustion-chamber deposits, and inaccuracies arising from entrapped air. Use of a gaseous fluid such as air as the measuring medium eliminates most of the objectionable features of volume measurement with liquids. Techniques utilizing air for volume measurement fall into two basic classifications: dynamic or sonic methods, and static or pneumatic systems. Cylinder leakage and acoustic damping by engine deposits affect the accuracy of volume measurements based on dynamic properties of combustion-chamber volume, hence small volumes occupied by combustion-chamber carbon deposits must be measured separately by static or pneumatic means.

REDUCTION OF VULNERABILITY OF AIRCRAFT HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS45007401/01/1945
The problem of the reduction of the vulnerability to damage of aircraft hydraulic systems is divided into two catagories. 1. The reduction of the probability of damage. 2. The localization of the effects of damage to the actually damaged circuit or unit. Various methods of attack upon each catagory are outlined and the suggestion made that the problem be attacked from both sides and by several methods simultaneously. When all engineers cooperate they can design hydraulic systems having very low relative vulnerability thus permitting full enjoyment of the weight savings, reliability, ease of repair, flexibility, and accuracy of control, which hydraulic systems provide. This paper is presented in the hope that it will stimulate thought by all aircraft engineers to the end that our airplanes will be not only better but safer.

AERIAL NAVIGATION OVER WATER17000701/01/1917
The author calls attention to the unreliability of the magnetic compass when used for aerial navigation and to the possible development of the gyroscopic compass for this purpose. He then explains how the drift of an airplane in flight makes it difficult to follow with accuracy a given course devoid of landmarks, unless an accurate drift indicator using the principle of the stroboscope is available. The development of such an instrument is then described, as are also means for synchronizing it with the compass. The use of the automatic synchronized instrument in flight over land is outlined, and its application to flight over water is described in considerable detail. Rules for aerial navigation over water, observation as to movement of wave crest and determination of wind velocity and direction are considered in their relation to the use of the instrument.
