Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition. The Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition is an annual conference on computer vision and pattern recognition.

Affiliations
The conference was first held in 1983 in Washington, DC, organized by Takeo Kanade and Dana H. Ballard. From 1985 to 2010 it was sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society. In 2011 it was also co-sponsored by University of Colorado Colorado Springs. Since 2012 it has been co-sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and the Computer Vision Foundation, which provides open access to the conference papers.

Scope
The conference considers a wide range of topics related to computer vision and pattern recognition—basically any topic that is extracting structures or answers from images or video or applying mathematical methods to data to extract or recognize patterns. Common topics include object recognition, image segmentation, motion estimation, 3D reconstruction, and deep learning.

The conference generally has less than 30% acceptance rates for all papers and less than 5% for oral presentations. It is managed by a rotating group of volunteers who are chosen in a public election at the Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence-Technical Community (PAMI-TC) meeting four years before the meeting. The conference uses a multi-tier double-blind peer review process. The program chairs, who cannot submit papers, select area chairs who manage the reviewers for their subset of submissions.

Location
The conference is usually held in June in North America.

De Ouderkerkermolen, Aldtsjerk. De Oudkerkermolen,  or Oudkerkemolen (English: Old Church Mill) is a smock mill in Aldtsjerk, Friesland, Netherlands which has been restored to working order. The mill is listed as a Rijksmonument, number 35674.

History

De Oudkerkermolen was built in 1864. On 13 March 1955 it was badly damaged in a storm. Repairs cost ƒ6,734, including new sails at ƒ3,200 and a new Archimedes' screw at ƒ1,950. The repairs were carried out by millwright De Roos of Leeuwarden. Further repairs were made to the mill in 1963.

The mill drained the  Oudkerkerpolder until 1970. A diesel engine formerly provided auxiliary power. It was restored in 1975. Although in working order, the mill just pumps water in a circuit to demonstrate the process.

Description

De Oudkerkermolen is a smock mill whose sails almost reach the ground. The mill has a single-storey brick base. The smock and cap are thatched. The mill is winded by a tailpole and winch. The four Common sails, which have a span of , are carried on a cast-iron windshaft. This was made by millwright H J Koning of Foxham in 1910. The windshaft also carries the brake wheel which has 50 cogs. This drives the wallower (29 cogs) at the top of the upright shaft. At the lower end of the upright shaft the crown wheel (37 cogs) drives the wooden Archimedes' screw via a gear wheel with 34 cogs. The Archimedes' screw has an axle diameter of  and is  diameter overall. It is inclined at 19½°. Each turn of the screw lifts  of water.

Public access
De Oudkerkermolen is open to the public by appointment only.

Digicon. A digicon detector is a spatially resolved light detector using the photoelectric effect directly.  It uses magnetic and electric fields operating in a vacuum to focus the electrons released from a photocathode by incoming light onto a collection of silicon diodes.  It is a photon-counting instrument, so most useful for weak sources. One of digicon's advantages is its very large dynamic range and it results from the short response and decay times of silicon diodes.

Development 
In 1971, E.A. Beaver and Carl McIlwain successfully demonstrated a way in which silicon diodes can be used in digital tube by placing a silicon diode array that contained 38 elements in the same chamber as a photocathode. The design and manufacture of the Digicon tube is attributed to John Choisser of the Electronic Vision Corporation.

Digicon detectors were used on the original instruments for the Hubble Space Telescope, but are very rarely used in new designs, where CMOS active-pixel detectors can achieve the same performance without the need for large electric fields or complicated vacuum assemblies. For instance, there were two pulse-counting Digicon detectors in the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph installed on the Hubble Space Telescope from 1990–1997, used to record ultraviolet spectra. Digicon is also used in digital imaging such as the case of a scanning gage using Digicon imaging tube, which generates a two-dimensional view with high spatial resolution when an object is scanned past the Digicon.

ALICE (propellant). Aluminum-Ice Rocket Propellant, or ALICE, is a rocket propellant that consists of nano-aluminum powder and water.  After mixing, the material is frozen to keep it stable.

Aluminum has a stronger affinity for oxygen than most elements, which is most visible in aluminothermic reactions such as thermite.  This allows aluminum to burn with a large release of heat in substances that one normally considers to be inert, such as carbon dioxide and water.  However, aluminum combustion is normally hindered by the presence of a durable oxide layer that forms on the surface of aluminum particles, requiring significant heat to overcome.  Additionally, aluminum oxide condenses out of the exhaust stream at high temperature, leaving it (and its heat of condensation) unable to contribute to expansion, unless there is another gas present to function as a working fluid.  This generally has relegated aluminum's role in rocketry to that of being an additive to solid rocket propellants, increasing their density and combustion temperature, and stabilizing the burn.

The oxide layer in nano-aluminum powder, however, is thinner and easier to overcome than in that of larger particles.  This makes the combustion of aluminum with water ice easier to ignite and sustain.  Furthermore, as the aluminum consumes the oxygen, it liberates hydrogen which functions as a low-molecular-mass working fluid to translate the heat of combustion (and subsequently condensation) into expansion and thrust.  The high density of the mixture allows for reduced tankage mass and high thrust.

The base combustion reaction is:
 .

ALICE has been proposed as a propellant well-suited for on-site production on outer space bodies such as the Moon, as both aluminum oxide (a source of aluminum) and water are abundant resources in the universe, while the high propellant density decreases the dry mass of the rocket.  Maintaining the propellant in a frozen state is relatively simple on most bodies in the solar system, while other high-performance propellants often involve cryogenic fluids that can pose long-term storage problems.

OpenMM. OpenMM is a library for performing molecular dynamics simulations on a wide variety of hardware architectures. First released in January 2010, it was written by Peter Eastman at the Vijay S. Pande lab at Stanford University. It is notable for its implementation in the Folding@home project's core22 kernel. Core22, also developed at the Pande lab, uses OpenMM to perform protein dynamics simulations on GPUs via CUDA and OpenCL. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a peak of 280,000 GPUs were estimated to be running OpenMM via core22.

Features
OpenMM has a C++ API as well as a Python wrapper. Developers are able to customize force fields as well as integrators for low-level simulation control. Users who only require high-level control of their simulations can use built-in force fields (consisting of many commonly used force fields) and built in integrators like Langevin, Verlet, Nosé–Hoover, and Brownian.

Royal Aircraft Factory N.E.1. The Royal Aircraft Factory N.E.1 was a prototype British night fighter of the First World War.  A single-engined pusher biplane, it was a development of the Royal Aircraft Factory's earlier F.E.9 fighter, but was not successful, only six being built.

Development and design
In 1917, the British Royal Aircraft Factory started design of a night fighter development of its F.E.9, the F.E.12.  This used the tailbooms, undercarriage and wing centre-sections of the F.E.9, combining them with new, three-bay outer wings and a larger tailplane.  It was to be armed with a shell firing gun and equipped with two searchlights.  The design was revised to produce the N.E.1 (for Night-flying Experimental), with revised wings, new tailbooms and a new, wide track, undercarriage.

The first prototype N.E.1 flew on 8 September 1917. It was fitted with a single searchlight in the nose, and with the pilot and gunner sat in tandem, with the pilot seated in front to give a good view. The gunner was to be armed with a 1.59-inch (40-mm) Breech-Loading Vickers Q.F. Gun, Mk II—widely known as the "Vickers-Crayford rocket gun," although it had no rocket-launching capability—or a 1 lb COW gun, and a radio was fitted.  It was powered by a 200 hp (149 kW) Hispano-Suiza 8 engine in a pusher configuration driving a four-bladed propeller. Its three-bay equal span wings were fitted with ailerons on both upper and lower wings, while the elevators had large horn balances (the amount of control surface forward of the hinge).

The first prototype crashed on 14 September 1917, and was rebuilt with a new nacelle with the searchlight removed, and the gunner, who was armed with a 1.59-inch (40-mm) Breech-Loading Vickers Q.F. Gun, Mk II, moved ahead of the pilot.  A fixed Lewis gun was mounted externally on the starboard side of the fuselage, to be operated by the pilot. It flew in this form on 4 October 1917.

Although testing indicated that the N.E.1 was easy to fly and land, and had excellent field of fire for the gunner, the official test report noted "It is doubtful if the performance of this machine is good enough to make it suitable as a night fighter".  Despite this, all six prototypes were completed, with the second prototype being sent to No. 78 Squadron, while several of the other aircraft were used for trials.
