Before I begin actually installing the tracks, I have to do several laminations involving the fairings or "canoes" that will cover the tracks. Trying to be realistic about time for once, I wrote up a schedule, and found that these small operations, which don't sound like much work at all, will probably take seven days....

Since we determined that our current turntable motor needed to be replaced, our next step was to make the physical switch on our bevel gear system on the turret. However, we are yet to test how much of an improvement the replacement will be so that will be our next goal. If we find that the motor set can be further rep...

The traditional Kalman filter has also been employed for the recovery of sparse , possibly dynamic, signals from noisy observations. Recent works 81 82 83 utilize notions from the theory of compressed sensing sampling, such as the restricted isometry property and related probabilistic recovery arguments, f...

The flap has been lowered to reveal the cove just inboard of the aileron; the latter can be seen, deflected upward, in the lower right corner. The diagonal pushrod is the aileron actuator, supported, in the upper left corner, by one of several idlers. An inspection plate has been removed, revealing the outboard fuel qu...

In this paper, we conduct a series of carefully designed studies to compare dense-reward and minimum-time formulations in RL. Our research confirms the popular notion that dense-reward formulations facilitate faster learning in comparison to sparse-reward formulations. However, our findings also demonstrate that agents...

- 1961 - IBM commercializes the usage of air bearings in their first generation of hard drives. Boasting error motion on the order of two millionth of an inch and 100 times more accurate than contact bearing spindles, air spindles allowed for higher data concentration, and even today, air bearing spindles are still a n...

I did a short flight to test the behavior of the trim tab link, whose effect is to double the trim tab area. Nothing surprising. The trim authority at low speed was certainly not doubled, but I think that is because what limits it is not tab area but rather separation, and once the flow on the tab separates it doesn't ...

Both the number or orifices, groove patterns, and depth must all be evaluated and redesigned for every individual application of the orifice bearing, making them extremely difficult to manufacture. And, requiring a build-it-yourself approach that most companies simply don't see as falling on the correct side of the cos...

Generally speaking, compared to stereo vision, 3D time of flight cameras can provide denser 3D data while operating at higher frame rates. Since they do not require point correspondence matching, they are easier to configure than stereo cameras. In addition, there are the following advantages: Pros: 1. Wide dynamic ran...

It can happen that one of the motor commands becomes negative, for example for a low thrust and large roll command (and similarly it can go above 100 ). This is a mixer saturation. It is physically impossible for the vehicle to execute these commands (except for reversible motors). PX4 has two modes to resolve this:

The origin of the problem started at trying to find the angle the Sampler needs to be at to efficiently pick up samples from the floor and the submersible. We reimplemented our bridge mechanism to have the Sampler on a changing angle, but created another problem: it no longer fits within sizing because of the extra spa...

In three dimensions this restates in matrix form an observation made by Euler, so mathematicians call the ordered sequence of three angles Euler angles. However, the situation is somewhat more complicated than we have so far indicated. Despite the small dimension, we actually have considerable freedom in the sequence o...

Mids are slightly softer and more romantic on the Nighthawks, but a touch more emphasised in comparison to the Cascade due to the lower quantity of bass in the Audioquest model. The Nighthawk does very well at conveying the emotion in a vocal, due to the almost smoky delivery through the midrange. In contrast, the Casc...

While the sensor properties could be measured and modeled depending on their angle with the wall, we decided to follow a more “end-to-end” approach by learning a neural network that computes the lateral (or horizontal) and vertical positions (*y* and *z*) from the following inputs: the lateral and vertical velocities, ...

1. What is the general shape of the distribution? In our case, this is the classic bell curve shape also referred to as a Gaussian distribution or a normal distribution. 2. Where is the distribution located on the number line? To define this, we can use the average (or mean) value. So, our distribution is located at ...
