Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a coupling assembly (10, 100, 200) for fluidly connecting first and second spacecraft. The first spacecraft comprises a drive mechanism (2) and the second spacecraft comprising a valve (1, 101, 201) for filling and/or draining the second spacecraft. The coupling assembly comprises first and second connectors (11, 12) and a lock (13). The first connector (11) comprises an actuating member (14, 114, 214) configured to engage and open the valve (1) and a coupling member (15) configured to couple to the drive mechanism (2) such that the drive mechanism is operable to exert a torque on the coupling member (15) to rotate the coupling member. The second connector (12) comprises a stop portion (27A) and a bore (29) for transferring fluid, the second connector (12) configured to screw on to the valve (1) until the stop portion (27A) engages the valve (1). In use, the lock (13) is initially in a locked state wherein the coupling member (15) is rotationally fixed relative to the second connector (12) such that operation of the drive mechanism (2) rotates the coupling member (15) and the second connector (12) together such that the second connector is screwed on to the valve (1) until the stop portion engages the valve, the actuating member being prevented from moving relative to the second connector to engage and open the valve whilst the lock is in the locked state. The lock (13) is configured such that, once the stop portion engages the valve, operation of the drive mechanism to exert a torque on the coupling member that is greater than a predetermined torque level moves the lock to an unlocked state wherein the actuating member is moveable relative to the second connector to engage and open the valve. The present disclosure also relates to a kit of parts for a coupling and to a method of fluidly connecting first and second spacecraft using a coupling.

Inventor: NASH JAMES WILSON
IPC: G01S17/894
Filed: 2019-04-22
Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for time-of-flight (TOF) ranging. An example time-of-flight system includes a transmitter 502 including a plurality of light emitters 504 for transmitting focused light, the plurality of light emitters 504 including a first group of light emitters for transmitting focused light with a first field of transmission 506 and a second group of light emitters for transmitting focused light with a second field of transmission 508. The first field of transmission at a depth from the transmitter is larger than the second field of transmission at the depth from the transmitter. The time-of-flight system also includes a receiver to receive reflections of the transmitted light. The transmitter 502 may vary its field of emission for different modes of operation. In some example implementations, the transmitter 502 may include formable means for adjusting the size of the field of emission / transmission. In one example, mirrors attached to actuators, such as micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) actuators, may adjust the focus of the light emissions from the transmitter 502. In another example, an adjustable holographic optical element (HOE) may adjust the focus of the light emissions from the transmitter 502. In a further example, a formable diffractive optical element (DOE), such as a piezoelectric material to adjust the shape, may be adjusted to focus the diffracted points of light emitted. The number of emitters emitting more focused light may be less than the number of emitters emitting less focused light. In this manner, the number of light emitters for the third mode may be less than the number of light emitters for the second mode and for the first mode to reduce power consumption and requirements by the TOF system. The different number of emitters for different modes of operation may be used to meet the power constraints for the TOF system. Determining when to vary the emission field for transmitted light or when to switch modes may be based on one or more factors and/or may be configurable or adjustable. Determining may be based on a schedule, on a user input, on ranging measurements, or on an application for which the TOF system is used.
