High-Sensitivity And Wide-Dynamic-Range Range Finder And Its Applications

چکیده
We propose a high-sensitivity and wide-dynamic-range position sensor for range finders using logarithmic-response and correlation circuit. The 3-D measurement system using the proposed position sensor has advantages to applications, such as a walking robot and a recognition system on vehicles, which require both of availability in various backgrounds and safe light projection for human eyes. The position sensor with a 64 ¢ 64 pixel array has been developed and successfully tested. We describe the sensitivity of position detection as SBR (Signal-to-Background Ratio). The minimum SBR of the sensor is-14.4 dB lower than standard sensors. High sensitivity under-10 dB SBR is realized in the dynamic range of 46 dB in terms of background illumination. Experimental results of position detection and 3-D measurement in a strong background illumination are also presented.

In this paper, we present a high accuracy laser range finder and velocimeter using ultra-fast time-to-digital converter (TDC). The system operation is based on the measuring the round-trip time of a narrow laser pulse. A low-dark current high-speed PIN photodiode is used to detect the triggered laser beam and to produce start signal. The pulsed laser diode generates 45W optical power at 30ns du...

The present paper aims to investigate the effects of modularity and the layout of subsystems and parts of a complex system on its maintainability. For this purpose, four objective functions have been considered simultaneously: I) maximizing the level of accordance between system design and optimum modularity design,II) maximizing the level of accessibility and the maintenance space required,III...
متن کاملIsolation of high-quality RNA from a wide range of woody plants
Isolation of high-quality RNA is one of the most crucial methods in molecular biology. RNA extraction from woody plants has been problematic due to the presence of rigid and woody tissues, large amounts of polysaccharides, polyphenols and other secondary metabolites. Here we present a suitable protocol for RNA isolation from a wide range of woody plants that includes eight gymnosperms and four ...
