Honda Marysville Auto Plant (MAP) is a Honda manufacturing facility located approximately six miles northwest of Marysville, Ohio, and 42 miles northwest of Columbus, Ohio, near the intersection of US 33 and State Route 739. It is one of the most integrated and flexible auto plants in North America.
Rho-Theta methodology is a key component in Area Navigation (RNAV). [1] The term "Rho-Theta" consists of the two Greek letters corresponding to Rho and Theta: [2] [3] [4] Rho (Greek ρ) as a synonym for distance measurement, e.g. Rho would be the equivalent to the English abbreviation "R" for Range
Radar engineering is the design of technical aspects pertaining to the components of a radar and their ability to detect the return energy from moving scatterers — determining an object's position or obstruction in the environment.
A blind approach beacon system or beam approach beacon system (BABS) is an automatic radar landing system developed in the early 1940s. [1] It is a responder (or transponder) mounted in a Hillman van and placed at the end of the runway. In some cases fixed sites were installed and by the mid-1950s Standard 9 vans were in use.
Rupp Industries was a Mansfield, Ohio-based manufacturer of go-karts, minibikes, snowmobiles and other off-road vehicles founded by Mickey Rupp in 1959. Rupp Industries operated from 1959 until bankruptcy in 1978. [2]
Jeremy Dunn (Laser Technology Inc.) developed a police lidar device in 1989, [3] and in 2004 10% of U.S. sales of traffic enforcement devices were lidar rising to 30% in 2006, [1] given the advantages of lidar it appears likely that the majority of current sales are lidar, although sophisticated radar units are still being sold.
Conical scanning concept. The radar beam is rotated in a small circle around the "boresight" axis, which is pointed at the target. Conical scanning is a system used in early radar units to improve their accuracy, as well as making it easier to steer the antenna properly to point at a target.
Beam steering is a technique for changing the direction of the main lobe of a radiation pattern. In radio and radar systems, beam steering may be accomplished by switching the antenna elements or by changing the relative phases of the RF signals driving the elements. As a result, this directs the transmit signal towards an intended receiver.
