CONT

[A] 360-degree video can provide viewers an immersed experience. For example, [a] 360-degree video can provide a viewer with a virtual reality experience, putting the viewer in a virtually different time and/or place. As another example, [a] 360-degree video can provide a viewer with a first-person view of video content captured by a remote device (e.g., an unmanned aerial vehicle, or other device). One method for capturing [a] 360-degree video is to use an omnidirectional camera. Omnidirectional cameras can capture a wide field of view with just a few lenses. The resulting images exhibit a fisheye effect.

CONT

A user experiences a 360° video by rotating the camera about the center as well as in effect rotating the perspective or FOV [field-of-view] while viewing the video. According to an embodiment of the … invention, the camera, or view, is changed based on user input such as by using a mouse, keyboard, mobile device, controller, head-mounted display, or virtual reality headset. In this way, the end user adjusts the view manually or directly. Camera, or view orientation changes provide meaningful insight into how a user experiences a 360° video.

CONT

Examples of virtual content can include spherical videos, 360 photos, augmented reality (AR) content, virtual reality (VR) content, etc. For example, a spherical video can capture a 360-degree view of a scene.

Record 7 2004-08-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Turboalternators and Turbogenerators
  • Helicopters (Military)
CONT

The amount of oil pressure directed to the actuator is controlled by two separate controllers : the density controller and the differential pressure controller. The density controller senses the temperature and pressure of the airflow in the engine intake. The differential pressure controller senses the difference between engine manifold pressure and the air pressure between the compressor and the throttle valve. When fully open, the waste gate valve routes the exhaust flow directly out the tailpipe, away from the turbine wheel. When fully closed, the waste gate valve routes the exhaust flow through the turbine wheel, thereby driving the turbine. During most stages of operation the controllers modulate the position of the valve to drive the turbine at the speed required to meet the engine power selection. The system is designed to work with no input from the pilot.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Turbo-alternateurs et turbogénérateurs
  • Hélicoptères (Militaire)
DEF

Dispositif qui règle automatiquement et en fonction de la densité du mélange explosif, la vanne de déviation (waste gate) du turbocompresseur.

CONT

La force de la pression d'huile dirigée vers l'actionneur est déterminée par deux régulateurs distincts : le régulateur de densité et le régulateur de pression différentielle. Le premier détecte la température et la pression de l'air dans l'entrée d'air moteur. Le second détecte la différence de pression entre celle du collecteur d'alimentation moteur et celle entre le compresseur et le papillon des gaz. Lorsqu'il est complètement ouvert, le limiteur achemine les gaz d'échappement directement dans le tuyau d'échappement, en contournant la turbine. Lorsqu'il est complètement fermé, le limiteur achemine les gaz d'échappement directement vers la turbine et la fait tourner. La plupart du temps, les régulateurs modulent la position du limiteur pour faire tourner la turbine à la vitesse correspondant au réglage de puissance du moteur. Le système est conçu pour fonctionner sans intervention humaine.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

The "Microgravity" and "Standard" operational modes are the primary modes for carrying out research activities on the ISS [International Space Station]. These two modes have been specifically defined to optimise the gravity environment of the ISS for user research activities. The Microgravity Mode, as the name suggests, provides the most optimised microgravity environment. The Microgravity Mode has been defined to ensure that: 50% of the International Standard Payload Rack locations within the European Columbus, Destiny and Japanese Kibo laboratories must have quasi-steady state accelerations less than 1 micro-g for at least 30 days continuously, on six occasions each year".

CONT

Mode changes are usually controlled by the ground controller or by on-orbit crew input commands, but the transition to survival mode may be automatically initiated by the ISS.... In the microgravity mode, user payload operations for microgravity research are supported. This mode does include the effects of crew equipment such as exercise devices and latched or hinged enclosures, however crew effects are mitigated to the extent possible.

OBS

microgravity mode: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence

DEF

An adaptive control system in which some or all of the plant parameters cannot be identified, thus requiring the use of an implicit identification technique in which specific output variables are compared with the desired performance. This comparison is easily made by driving both the system and a model of the system with unknown parameters. The model produces the proper output for the given input function, and an error can be generated by comparing the two outputs. The error function is the one used to modify the parameters of the controller....
