Abstract: A laser tracking device includes an adjustment device, a telescope, and a drive device. The adjustment device modifies the emission direction of first light wave. The telescope emits the first light wave in the emission direction modified by the adjustment device. The drive device rotates the telescope based on a predicted path of a moving body. The adjustment device provides more precision in modifying the emission direction of the first light wave than in the drive device rotating the telescope. Further, the adjustment device modifies the emission direction to offset the modification of the emission direction caused by the rotation of the telescope from a time when a tracking start condition is satisfied until the moving body is detected.

Abstract: A movement prediction apparatus including first and second light output devices, a light reception device, and a processor. The first light output device outputs output-light having a spectral component of a first optical frequency comb of which a frequency comb interval is a first interval. The second light output device outputs reference light having a spectral component of a second optical frequency comb of which a frequency comb interval is a second interval. The light reception device receives combination light that is a combination of the output-light, reflection light that is the output-light reflected by a flying object rotor wing, and the reference light, and measures a distance to the rotor wing based on the combination light. The processor calculates a rotation amount that represents a rotational speed of the rotor wing based on a change amount of the measured distance, and predicts a movement of the flying object.

Abstract: A threat coping system (10) is provided with a threat coping device (300) that copes with a coping target (30) and a control device (200) that controls the threat coping device. The control device (200) is provided with a no-coping area setting means (514) and a coping instruction means (526). The no-coping area setting means (514) sets a no-coping area (12) based on information of a no-coping target that is not to cope with. The coping instruction means (526) generates an instruction signal, that instructs the threat coping device to cope a coping target, based on the no-coping area.

Abstract: A monitoring system includes a real-time detection device configured to detect a state of target equipment and an instruction output from a central control device configured to input a control instruction to the target equipment; and a monitoring device configured to acquire information from the real-time detection device. The monitoring device includes an analysis unit configured to simulate the state of the target equipment, with models of the target equipment and the central control device, and a determination unit configured to determine whether an abnormality has occurred in the target equipment. The analysis unit is configured to simulate the state of the target equipment, using the latest information detected by the real-time detection device. The determination unit is configured to compare a result calculated by the analysis unit using the latest information detected by the real-time detection device.

Abstract: A tolerance ring can include a generally cylindrical body having a first partial-cylindrical sidewall and a second partial-cylindrical sidewall opposite the first partial-cylindrical sidewall. Each partial-cylindrical sidewall defines a first end and a second end. Further, a first gap can be established between the first end of the first partial-cylindrical sidewall and the first end of the second partial-cylindrical sidewall after installation around a post. The first gap can extend along the entire length of the tolerance ring such that a split is formed in the tolerance ring. The tolerance ring can also include a second gap between the second end of the first partial-cylindrical sidewall and the second end of the second partial-cylindrical sidewall. The second gap can extend along the entire length of the tolerance ring such that a split is formed in the tolerance ring. The tolerance ring can provide an installed concentricity, C, ?50 ?m.

Abstract: An antenna having a central axis is supported on a supporting member which in turn is supported on an azimuth gimbal. The antenna and the supporting member are rotatable around an elevation axis perpendicular to the central axis gimbal is supported on a base and is rotatable around an azimuth axis perpendicular to the elevation axis. A first gyro having an input axis parallel to the elevation axis is secured to the supporting member, and a second gyro having an input axis perpendicular to both the central axis and the elevation angle axis is secured to the supporting member. An accelerometer is provided for outputting a signal representative of an inclination angle of the central axis relative to a horizontal plane. An azimuth transmitter is provided for outputting a signal representative of a rotation angle of the azimuth gimbal around the azimuth axis.

Abstract: A slidable member holding device having a flock portion for contact with a member slidable relative thereto. The flock portion comprises a yarn including as its components at least two kinds of filaments having different thicknesses, and is improved in slipping property, abrasion resistance and durability.

Abstract: A body of a vehicle such as an automobile has a rear parcel shelf which is constituted by left and right shelf members joined, respectively, to left and right rear pillars, and a center shelf member extending between the left and right shelf members. The center shelf member has a generally horizontal center shelf panel, and a rear waist panel having front and rear flanges and a channel portion extending laterally of the vehicle between the front and rear flanges and bulging upwardly. The front and rear flanges of the rear waist panel are joined to the upper surface of the center shelf panel to form a box beam. Each of the left and right shelf members has a reinforce panel and a side shelf panel which are joined to the bottom surface of the rear waist panel to form a continuous extension of the box beam.

Abstract: A hinge includes first and second members, a backing member, and a connecting member. The connecting member connects the backing member to the second member in such a manner as to be able to vary the distance between the second and backing members. A brittle object is located between the second and backing members. First and second packings are provided between the brittle object and the second member, and between the brittle object and the backing member, respectively. A spacer is provided between the second and backing members. The dimension of the spacer along the distance between the second and backing members is chosen so that when the connecting member is adjusted until the spacer comes into contact with both the second and backing members, the second and backing members clamp therebetween the brittle object by way of the packings with an optimal clamping force exerted on the brittle object.
