A moored balloon is an inflated fabric structure, often shaped like an airship and usually filled with helium, that is restrained by a cable attached to the ground or a vehicle. Moored balloons differ from airships and free balloons in that it is not free-flying. Moored balloons are sometimes called aerostats. However, the term aerostat can also be used to refer to all lighter-than-air aircraft. In this broader sense, moored balloons are a type of aerostat. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A vessel is said to be moored when it is fastened to a fixed object such as a bollard, pier, quay or the seabed, or to a floating object such as an anchor buoy. Mooring is often accomplished using thick ropes called mooring lines or hawsers. The lines are fixed to deck fittings on the vessel at one end, and fittings on the shore, such as bollards, rings, or cleats, on the other end. Mooring by permanent anchor can be accomplished by use of a permanent anchor at the bottom of a waterway with a rode (a line, cable, or chain) running to a float on the surface. This allows a person on the vessel to connect to the...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A mooring mast, or mooring tower, is a structure designed to allow for the docking of an airship outside of an airship hangar or similar structure. More specifically, a mooring mast is a mast or tower that contains a fitting on its top that allows for the bow of the airship to attach its mooring line to the structure. When it is not necessary or convenient to put an airship into its hangar (or shed) between flights, airships can be moored on the surface of land or water, in the air to one or more wires, or to a mooring mast. After their development mooring masts became the standard approach to mooring airships as considerable manhandling was avoided.

Evolvable hardware (EHW) uses simulated evolution to generate an electronic circuit with specific characteristics on reconfigurable hardware, such as field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Adaptation, fault resistance and utilisation of the physical properties of the hardware are key properties provided by EHW, and as such, EHW is ideally suited to applications embedded in uncertain environments, where the circuit function cannot be known a priori by the designer. EHW has not scaled well with increases in problem complexity, largely due to the use of direct encodings, in which the chromosome directly represents the device's configuration. This book investigates how biological growth mechanisms can be modelled and adapted to EHW for...

Morse code is a type of character encoding that transmits telegraphic information using rhythm. Morse code uses a standardized sequence of short and long elements to represent the letters, numerals, punctuation and special characters of a given message. The short and long elements can be formed by sounds, marks, or pulses, in on off keying and are commonly known as "dots" and "dashes" or "dits" and "dahs". The speed of Morse code is measured in words per minute (WPM) or characters per minute. Originally created for Samuel F. B. Morse's electric telegraph in the early 1840s, Morse code was also extensively used for early radio communication beginning in the 1890s. In the early part of the twentieth century, the majority of high-speed...

In this work, a mortar finite element formulation is developed for solving large deformation frictional contact problems in a robust and accurate manner. The technique employs an integral projection of contact variables on the contact surface to provide a consistent representation of all contact variables over a single discretization. A new global searching algorithm based on bounding volume hierarchies, with the distinct advantage of output sensitivity, significantly improves the performance of the mortar formulation. The algorithm is extended to self- contact problems by applying a curvature criterion with a new algorithm to detect subsurface adjacencies. Finally, a lubricated contact formulation based on the mortar element method is...

The metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET, MOS-FET, or MOS FET) is a device used to amplify or switch electronic signals. The basic principle of the device was first proposed by Julius Edgar Lilienfeld in 1925. The MOSFET includes a channel of n-type or p-type semiconductor material (see article on semiconductor devices), and is accordingly called an NMOSFET or a PMOSFET (also commonly nMOS, pMOS). It is by far the most common transistor in both digital and analog circuits, though the bipolar junction transistor was at one time much more common. Данное издание не...

I have chosen electrosensory systems as a platform to explore sensing and control in both artificial and biological systems. In particular, active electrolocation is investigated, where the task is to estimate the location of a target using measurements from a self-generated electric field. The fundamentals of electrolocation are described first with a finite-element numerical approximation of the governing equations, and then simple models are used to predict electrosensory observations. Several belief maintenance schemes are employed to fuse sensor data and explicitly account for uncertainties in the position of the target. In the biological realm, a protocol for simulating the sensory acquisition and belief maintenance during...

Techniques for understanding video object motion activity are becoming increasingly important with the widespread adoption of CCTV surveillance systems. Motion trajectories provide rich spatiotemporal information about an object’s activity. This book presents a novel technique for clustering and classification of object trajectory-based video motion clips using basis function approximation. In the proposed motion learning system, trajectories are treated as time series and modelled using orthogonal basis function representation. A novel framework (Iterative HSACT-SOM) is proposed that exploits the chosen feature subspace and performs efficient and effective motion learning in the presence of significant number of anomalies in training...

Motion segmentation is an essential process for many computer vision algorithms. During the last decade, a large amount of works has been trying to tackle this challenging problem, however, performances of most of them still fall far behind human perception. In this work the motion segmentation problem is studied, analyzing and reviewing the most important and newest techniques. A classification of all these techniques into different categories according to their main principle and features is proposed, and their strengths and weaknesses are pointed out. One of the most promising technique emerged from the review, the Local Subspace Affinity, is studied in its details highlighting and commenting its critical points. Some improvements to...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A motion picture film scanner is a device used in digital filmmaking to scan original film for storage as high-resolution digital intermediate files. A film scanner scans original film stock: negative or positive print or reversal/IP. Units may scan gauges from 8 mm to 70 mm with very high resolution scanning of 2K or 4K film resolutions. Some makes of film scanner are intermittent pull-down film scanners which scan each frame individually, locked down in a pin-registered film gate, taking roughly a second per frame. Continuous-scan film scanners, where the film frames are scanned as the film is continuously moved past the imaging pick up device, are typically evolved from earlier telecine...

Over the last few years, Probabilistic Roadmaps (PRMs) have emerged as a powerful approach for solving complex motion planning problems in robotics. Even beyond robotics, PRMs can be used to predict motions of biological macro-molecules such as proteins and synthesize motions for digital actors. Current PRM-based research focuses on challenges that arise as PRMs are being applied to motion planning problems in various scenarios. In response to some of those challenges, the following four contributions are being made in this thesis: (1) a dynamic checker for PRMs that exactly determines whether a path lies in free space, (2) a sampling strategy, called "small-step retraction" (SSR), that allows a PRM planner to efficiently construct...

The world of motion measurement and analysis has a long history. For centuries, the methods used to capture movement have been as varied as they have been ingenious. Today, the art allows us to measure movements smaller than a few micrometres. However, despite the these impressive advances, motion analysis is confronted with three major obstacles: cost, reliability and portability. Elaborate and costly research settings are highly precise and accurate, however, they confine the analysis to only a few metres of movement. Today, an alternative technology is offering a promising resolution to this problem. Inertial devices, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, are allowing measurements to take place outside of the laboratory. Moreover,...
