Abstract

An optical seismic surveying system including, a multibeam laser source including a plurality of laser-sources, a Diffractive-Optical-Element (DOE), an imager and a processor. The laser-sources direct respective laser-beams toward a single common focal point. The DOE is located at a single common focal point and configured to split each laser-beam into a plurality of laser-beams, toward an instantaneous area of interest. The laser-beams impinging on the instantaneous area of interest produce a laser spot assemblage including a plurality of laser spots. The imager acquires a plurality of defocused images of speckle patterns produced by diffused reflections of the laser spots. The speckle pattern correspond to a respective laser spot and thus to a respective sensing point in the instantaneous area of interest. The processor determines a relative displacement between corresponding speckle patterns in sequential pairs of images and determines a respective time-signal for each sensing point representing vibrations thereat.

Abstract

A method and circuit for providing adaptive suppression of signal crosstalk appearing on a common return wire in a signal cable connected to a device. The method steps comprise connecting an adjustable negative resistance circuit between the common wire terminal and a common point at the device; determining an auxiliary current (Iaux) such that is flowing through at least one of the cable wires and returns through the common wire; sensing the voltage between selected at least one of the cable wire terminals at the device port and the common point, while ensuring that this level is substantially affected by Iaux; measuring a level of the sensed voltage according to a predefined level measurement procedure; and adjusting the negative resistance so as to nullify said voltage level, thereby effectively cancelling the common wire ohmic resistance.

Abstract

Power amplification units and methods are provided, which use a combiner and an auxiliary signal to feed the power amplifier (PA) with a signal that prevents or reduces operation of higher amplification stages during off periods of the received RF signal. The PA output is delivered through an output matching circuit configured to pass the RF signal and attenuate the auxiliary signal; and the combiner combines the RF signal and the auxiliary signal through respective filters to generate the RF input signal to the PA. An auxiliary signal generator may be configured to generate the auxiliary signal with relation to the RF signal as having a frequency spectrum lower than a cutoff RF frequency. Resulting lower power consumption, particularly in case of low duty cycle RF signals, reduces heating, enables longer battery use and increases reliability performance.

Imaging parameters of the acquired sensor-image are obtained, the imaging parameters including at least the detected 3D position and orientation of the imaging sensor when acquiring the sensor-image, as detected using a location measurement unit. A model-image of the scene is generated from a textured 3D geographic model, the model-image representing a texture-based 2D image of the scene as acquired in the 3D model using the imaging parameters. The sensor-image and the model-image are compared and the discrepancies between them determined. An updated 3D position and orientation of the imaging sensor is determined in accordance with the discrepancies. The updated position and orientation may be used to display supplementary content overlaid on the sensor-image in relation to a selected location on the sensor-image, or for determining the geographic location coordinates of a scene element.

Abstract

A drone control system for controlling a drone which includes an onboard-flight-system previously configured to receive navigational-data in a format compliant with a standard navigational data transmission protocol. The system includes a remote-sensor and an interface. The remote sensor is located remotely from the drone and determines the position of the drone relative to the remote-sensor. The interface, coupled with the remote-sensor, produces a pseudo GPS signal indicating the position of the drone and to provide the pseudo GPS signal to an onboard-flight-system of the drone. The format of the pseudo GPS signal is fully compliant with the standard navigational data transmission protocol employed by the onboard-flight-system. The onboard-flight-system is receives inertial tracking data from an onboard inertial-measuring-unit and the pseudo GPS signal, and tracks the position of the drone by merging the inertial tracking data and the pseudo GPS signal and navigates the drone accordingly.

Abstract

Method and system for coordinating between separate image sensors imaging a mutual area of interest at different imaging perspectives. A target point is designated on a first image acquired by a first image sensor. Feature points are defined and characterized on the first image and transmitted over a data communication link to a second image sensor. The target point is identified in a second image acquired by the second image sensor using an iterative convergence operation. The first iteration involves locating feature points in the second image corresponding to the defined first image feature points. Subsequent iterations involve locating feature points in a subregion of the second image corresponding to decreasing subsets of first image feature points, the subregion defined by the feature point cluster located in the previous iteration. When a termination condition is reached, the remaining cluster of located feature points is established to represent the target point.

The bandwidth manager includes a signaling monitor and a bandwidth allocator. The signaling monitor monitors signaling between the access controller and at least one of the base stations so as to predict upcoming changes to a demand for communication resources for at least one monitored base station. The bandwidth allocator updates the respective allocated bandwidths in accordance with the predicted upcoming changes.

Abstract

An electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC) and method for manufacturing thereof. The ELDC includes at least one capacitor cell with two parallel current collectors, two opposite polarity electrodes, a separator, a rigid dielectric frame, and at least one evacuation mechanism. Each electrode is disposed on a respective current collector, and composed of activated carbon impregnated with aqueous electrolyte. The frame is disposed along the perimeter on the surface of a current collector and enclosing the electrodes. The evacuation mechanism removes superfluous fluid material from the capacitor cell interior. The evacuation mechanism may be a compartment in the frame, operative to collect residual electrolyte that seeps out from the electrodes, or a capillary formed within the frame and extending into a portion of the electrode, the capillary composed of a porous hydrophobic material and operative to evacuate discharged gases from the electrodes out of the EDLC.
