Laser Range Finder Mapping of Floating Vehicle
Using laser range finders as a method of navigation is popular with mobile land robots; however, there has been little research using it with water vehicles. Therefore, this thesis explores the usage and data flow of a laser range finder on a water raft. A unique algorithm for localization and …

Characterization of a wideband monopulse piezoelectric direction finder
Sound localization has been the subject of much ongoing research in the area of beamformers and microphone arrays. Although these methods have been successful under certain conditions, the signal processing requirements needed for real-time operation are extensive. This thesis describes the …

Entity finder: A system for entity web page retrieval using pseudo-relevance feedback
Collecting all the online information about a particular entity (e.g., a person or a product) is a task commonly needed in many applications. In many cases, there often already exists a database with limited information about interesting entities, but those databases usually suffer from …

Studies of plume condensation contamination upon surfaces of the Terrestrial Planet Finder spacecraft
… competing concepts for the Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF) mission, one which involves a single spacecraft, and another comprised of a five craft formation. In addition, there are several propulsion options under consideration. Unique contamination issues affect the formation-flying concept due …

Integrated modeling of optical performance for the Terrestrial Planet Finder structurally connected interferometer
The Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF) mission, to be launched in 2014 as a part of NASA's Origins Program, will search for Earth-like planets orbiting other stars. One main concept under study is a structurally connected interferometer. Integrated modeling of all aspects of the flight system is …

The design and implementation of a laser range-finder array for robotics applications
We introduce the concept of using a laser range finder array to measure height and tilt for mobile robotics applications. We then present a robust, scalable algorithm for extracting height and tilt measurements from the range finder data. We calibrate the sensors using a precision two-axis system, …

Expected productivity-based risk analysis in conceptual design : with application to the Terrestrial Planet Finder Interferometer mission
During the design process, risk is mentioned often, but, due to the lack of a quantitative parameter that engineers can understand and trade, infrequently impacts major design decisions. The definition of risk includes two elements - probability and impact. As a result of heritage techniques used …

PEN-BASED GESTURE RECOGNITION
The Macintosh Finder employs a desktop metaphor and a prescribed set of mouse-cum-keyboard interactions for browsing documents, folders and selected system resources. The spatial nature of the Finder's desktop and the consistency of its mouse- based interactions implies that, over time, an …

Property and the law of finders
This thesis considers the position of finders in English law, and particularly the nature and basis of property rights acquired by finders. Its first major aim is to identify and explain the various propositions clearly and authoritatively. The second is to show that, when the full range of …
