#Overview of a Smart Optical Time-of-Flight Sensor Technology With billions of sensors already being deployed in all types of devices and applications,
Combined with the use of visible or infrared LEDS to perform time-of-flight measurements,
Time-of-Flight Principle Leddar sensors use LEDS to generate very short light pulses, typically 100,000 pulses per second.
The time-of-flight (Tof) principle essentially consists in measuring the time taken by a light pulse to travel from the sensor to a remote object

These machines are designed essentially to function in the same way as Chromebooks not offering much in the way of internal storage space,
it's in supersonic passenger flight. With the grounding of the Concorde fleets in 2013, flying faster than the speed of sound reverted to a military monopoly,
Now Airbus'Marco Prampolini and Yohann Coraboeuf have been granted a US patent for an"ultra-rapid air vehicle"designed to fly at 20 km (12.4 mi) higher than conventional aircraft and over four times the speed of sound twice the speed of Concorde.
civilian supersonic flight held on by the skin of its teeth. Concorde may have carried the wealthy and glamorous across the Atlantic in under three hours,
and it ended up as a tiny fleet, only flying with British airways and Air france because of French and British government pressure.
According to Airbus, the craft is essentially a flying tanker with most of the fuselage made up of liquid oxygen and ecofriendly liquid hydrogen.
Forward of this is a passenger cabin for 24 people, with the cockpit in the bow.
It's also a very odd looking airplane with a gothic delta wing that gives it a strangely truncated look
and oxygen are burned to keep the aircraft properly trimmed. But what really sets the Airbus dsign apart is its suite of propulsion systems used to keep it aloft.
On a typical flight it would take off like a conventional plane using ordinary turbojet engines, but once in the air, an open door in the stern of the plane reveals a rocket motor.
When this fires, it sends the aircraft into a near vertical trajectory, accelerating it to supersonic speeds.
As the airplane approaches Mach one, the turbojets shut down and retract into the fuselage. On completion of the acceleration phase the plane is now flying at anywhere from Mach 4 to Mach 4. 5 at an altitude of 30,000 to 35,000 m (100,000 to 150
000 ft). The rocket motor shuts down and is concealed again as the aft door slides shut to reduce drag.
A ramjet now kicks in and the aircraft cruises along its flight path and can cover a range of 9, 000 km (5, 600 mi) in three hours the equivalent of Tokyo to Los angeles or Paris to San francisco. Meanwhile,
the wing fuselage design dissipates the sonic shock wave over 110 to 175 km (68 to 109 mi)
and angles it at 11 to 15 degrees so it doesn't reach the ground.
At the end of the journey split flaps reduce speed and the turbojets take over for approach and landing.
Airbus says that the supersonic passenger craft can operate from conventional airports so long as they can supply the cryogenic propellants.
It wouldn't interfere with existing air corridors, would operate in all weather, and only the rocket motor requires special maintenance.
According to its specifications, it could carry two or three tons of cargo, which is equivalent to 24 passengers and luggage.
It's highly unlikely that the Airbus supersonic will ever be built, but if it is,
The company sees it as catering to VIP passengers who need to make round-trip transcontinental trips in a single day.

#Self-driving truck hits the highway in world first Daimler Trucks'has shifted gears in its ongoing effort to develop autonomous vehicles.
By fitting its Highway Pilot self-driving system to a Mercedes-benz Actros truck and steering it down a stretch of Autobahn 8 near Stuttgart,
the company has marked the first time an autonomous production semi has been tested out on public roads. Much like the posited advantages of self-driving cars,
Daimler says improvements in driver safety are a compelling reason to pursue the technology in the road freight sector.
Daimler's Highway Pilot system first debuted on the open road last year aboard the Mercedes-benz Future Truck 2025 a concept vehicle intended to demonstrate what a future of autonomous trucking might look like.
Then earlier this year another of the company's concept vehicles, the Freightliner Inspiration, received official licensing to roam the public highways in the state of Nevada.
The latest autonomous expedition saw the Highway Pilot system installed and tested in something other than a concept vehicle for the first time.
and Stuttgart with the Highway Pilot system helping guide the way. The system uses a short-range radar that assess the vehicle's surroundings up to 230 ft (70 m) away in a forward-facing 130-degree arc,
Highway Pilot isn't about letting those behind the wheel plonk their feet on the dashboard and snooze their way to their destination.
Daimler likens the system to the autopilot used in aviation, in that the driver must be prepared to take control at any time.
Daimler had to obtain a special permit from Germany's road traffic regulator, allowing the truck to be driven semi-autonomously on highways at speeds of up to 80 km h (50 mph).
While widespread adoption of autonomous trucks still appears some way off, the opportunity to test out the technology in real-world scenarios will help speed up the process."
"Safe testing in real traffic is absolutely decisive for the development of this technology to market maturity,
"says Bernhard.""We are now able to proceed with this. h
