Title: Optical interferometric range sensor
Inventor: KIMURA KAZUYA
IPC: G01B9/02004
Filed: 2023-02-14
Abstract: An optical interferometric range sensor can measure a distance with high accuracy with a light receiver receiving, from each of interferometers, returning light having an appropriate signal strength. An optical interferometric range sensor (100) includes a light source (110) that emits light with a changing wavelength, a plurality of interferometers (130a to 130c) that each generate interference light based on measurement light and reference light, optical couplers (120a to 120c) in a plurality of stages, a light receiver (140a to 140c) that receives the interference light to convert the interference light to an electric signal, and a processor (150) that calculates a distance to a measurement target based on the electric signal resulting from conversion performed by the light receiver. The light received by each of the optical couplers (120a to 120c) in the plurality of stages is split based on a first split ratio for a corresponding interferometer and a second split ratio for an optical coupler in a subsequent stage subsequent to a stage including the optical coupler receiving the light. The first split ratio and the second split ratio are set at least based on the first split ratio of the optical coupler receiving the light and a product of a first split ratio and a second split ratio of the optical coupler in the subsequent stage.

Abstract: An apparatus autonomously operates at least one system of a vehicle as the vehicle navigates along a route through at least a portion of a traversable network in a sensor-based navigation mode. The apparatus obtains a map fragment corresponding to an area along the route; and, responsive to determining that the vehicle is located within the area, autonomously operates the at least one system of the vehicle as the vehicle navigates a portion of the route within the area in a map-based navigation mode using map data of the map fragment. Responsive to determining that the vehicle has exited the area, the apparatus autonomously operates the at least one system of the vehicle as the vehicle continues to navigate along the route in the sensor-based navigation mode. The map fragment is a portion of a high definition map configured to enable map-based autonomous vehicle navigation/control.

Abstract: Conversion of raw coal to distillate liquid and gaseous hydrocarbon products by solvent liquefaction in the presence of molecular hydrogen employing recycle of mineral residue is commonly performed at a higher thermal efficiency than conversion of coal to pipeline gas in a gasification process employing partial oxidation and methanation reactions. The prior art has disclosed a combination coal liquefaction-gasification plant employing recycle of mineral residue to the liquefaction zone wherein all the normally solid dissolved coal not converted to liquid or gaseous products in the liquefaction zone is passed to a gasification zone for conversion to hydrogen. In the prior art plant the amount of normally solid dissolved coal passed to the gasification zone is just sufficient to enable the gasification zone to produce the entire process hydrogen requirement. An unexpected improvement in thermal efficiency has now been achieved by increasing the amount of normally solid dissolved coal from the liquefaction zone (26) and passed to the gasification zone (76) to an amount sufficient to enable the gasification zone (76) to generate not only all of the hydrogen required by the liquefaction zone (26) but also to produce synthesis gas, and adapting the plant to utilize all or a significant amount of this synthesis gas as fuel in the plant. It would have been expected that shifting some of the processing load from the ordinarily more efficient liquefaction zone (26) to the ordinarily less efficient gasification zone (76) would decrease process efficiency, but the present invention unexpectedly achieves an overall efficiency increase by said shift by modifying the plant to permit in-plant combustion of the synthesis gas so produced.

The tester (10) is assumed to lack the number of channels necessary to connect one channel to each input/output of the rackage (50) under test. In a first step, all input terminals are classified in a plurality of categories, each of which corresponds to particular circuit type and electric network configuration. A unique set of DC levels is defined prior to testing for each category of inputs. These levels are supplied by the tester channels (25), each of which drives a multitude of input pins that belong to the same category. The assignment of tester channels (25) is implemented by means of multiplexers (30) that select for each terminal the appropriate set of DC levels, and a memory (20) contained in the tester (10), with the test patterns stored therein. The bit configuration of each pattern controls plural switching devices (40)that deliverthe appropriate DC levelsto theterminals.
