DEVELOPMENT, VERIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT OF A LASER PROFILOMETER AND ANALYSIS ALGORITHM FOR MICROTEXTURE ASSESSMENT OF RUNWAY SURFACES

Development, Verification and Assessment of a Laser Profilometer and Analysis Algorithm for Microtexture Assessment of Runway Surfaces

Runway surface friction is critically important to safe aircraft operations and mostly depends on the surface texture, which provides grip in the presence of contamination and directly affects the friction coefficient in general.Microtexture assessment is the most challenging part of texture assessment since there Fronius Software is no standardise

Optimal Motion Control of a Capsule Endoscope in the Stomach Utilizing a Magnetic Navigation System with Dual Permanent Magnets

We propose a method to control the motion of a capsule endoscope (CE) in the stomach utilizing either a single external permanent magnet (EPM) or dual EPMs to extend the examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract.When utilizing the conventional magnetic navigational system (MNS) with a single EPM to generate tilting and rotational motions of t
