Discussion on Onboard Central Maintenance System

Autoimmune maintenance and neuroprotection of the central nervous system.

The genesis of immune privilege high in the evolutionary tree suggests that immune privilege is necessary, if not advantageous for the progressive development of the CNS. Upon reaching a certain degree of complexity, it seems as if the CNS was obliged to restrain the immune system from penetrating the blood-brain barrier. CNS autoimmunity against myelin proteins is known to be a contributory fa...

Onboard Dynamic Rail Track Safety Monitoring System

This proposal aims at solving one of the long prevailing problems in the Railways. This simple method of continuous monitoring and assessment of the condition of the rail tracks can prevent major disasters and save precious human lives. Our method is capable of alerting the train in case of any dislocations in the track or change in strength of the soil. Also it can avert the collisions of the ...

Onboard Pseudolite Augmentation System for Relative Navigation

GPS carrier phase positioning can provide accurate measurements of relative position and attitude between multiple vehicles. In environments without adequate signal coverage from the NAVSTAR GPS satellites, the available signals can be augmented with pseudolites onboard the vehicles in the formation. This paper experimentally demonstrates the feasibility of such a system, with a formation of th...

Onboard Image Processing System for Hyperspectral Sensor

Onboard image processing systems for a hyperspectral sensor have been developed in order to maximize image data transmission efficiency for large volume and high speed data downlink capacity. Since more than 100 channels are required for hyperspectral sensors on Earth observation satellites, fast and small-footprint lossless image compression capability is essential for reducing the size and we...
