Disclosed are an attitude estimation method, a terminal, a system and a computer-readable storage medium. For the problem of attitude and sensor bias estimation, a cascade solution method is provided. The first part of the cascade is a Kalman filter applied to an LTV system, and the second part of the cascade is a nonlinear attitude observer built in SO(3). In the estimation process, only one constant inertial reference vector needs to be measured explicitly in body-fixed coordinates, and the complexity of the attitude estimation algorithm is greatly simplified by exploiting the geometric relationship between the inertial reference vector and the Earth angular velocity vector. At the same time, the time-varying characteristics of the implemented Kalman filter help to avoid the tedious empirical gain adjustment process that often relies on sets of piecewise constant gains, to improve the convergence speed of the algorithm.

The present invention relates to the production of coatings and films with structural color from aqueous dispersions of polymer nanoparticles or from non-aqueous polymer solutions and polymeric pigments with structural color. These films are intended for application in coatings such as paints and varnishes. The coatings have non-iridescent structural color resulting from the incorporation of pigments consisting of spherical polymeric microparticles. These comprise polymer nanoparticles and exhibit a periodic variation of the refractive index resulting from the organization of the polymer nanoparticles. Since the structural color does not result from absorption or emission of light, these pigments do not undergo photodegradation processes producing color fading, which results in coatings with better color durability. Polymeric structural pigments make it possible to obtain colors from blue to red, without changing their composition, merely by varying the size of the polymer nanoparticles of which they are made up.

The present invention relates to oxygen sensors without connections or metal parts, based on the variation of their luminescence with the concentration of molecular oxygen, for application in the aeronautical industry, namely in aircraft fuel tanks. The sensors consist of a solid polymer matrix containing a luminescent compound (indicator), whose luminescence lifetime is sensitive to low oxygen concentrations. The described sensors aim to fill the gaps in previously developed sensors, since they are characterized by high resistance to A1 type jet fuel, good oxygen permeability, low response time, high photostability under irradiation and absence of fuel-induced leaching of the indicator. The sensors can also be used in aqueous environments or environments rich in aromatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic hydrocarbons and mixtures thereof, with no change in performance, given their resistance to these categories of substances.

The axles (6) or half-axles (8) of the chassis (1) are steered by linear actuators (7) according to the known radius of the track, stored in a computer memory as a function of the longitudinal coordinate of the track. The two wheels (3) of an axle can rotate independently, which is the preferred solution for all of the wheels except those of the first axle, or can rotate jointly. In this last alternative, preferred for the first axle, a given difference in rotational speed is imparted to the two wheels according to the curvature of the track. The patent describes a closed differential that is adapted to impose this difference in rotational speed between the two wheels of an axle. The invention includes the case in which the wheels are steered by the movement of an Ackermann linkage (9). The device allows higher train speeds with equal dynamic stability. A high-speed service can thus be operated on conventional tracks, without the radii of curvature and the corresponding dimensional tolerances.

The present invention refers to a process of extraction of lithium from ores or lithium mineral concentrates, through the combination of three unitary operations, the mechanical activation of the ore or of the concentrate, followed by the reaction by digestion with concentrate sulphuric acid and leaching with water. The mechanical activation is processed through the high energy milling, which promotes the alteration of the mineral structure, making it amorphous and more reactive, which allows that the subsequent step of the reaction by acid digestion to the formation of lithium sulphate, at temperature bellow 200°C, to be efficient and fast. As a result of the previous steps, the reacted solid contains lithium sulphate that is dissolved in the subsequent step of leaching with water. The recovery of the lithium contained in the mineral phases is higher than 80%, and in optimized conditions it can achieve more than 90%.

The present invention relates to a process, reactor and system to produce self-standing two-dimensional nanostructures, using a microwave-excited plasma environment. The process is based on injecting, into a reactor, a mixture (9) of gases and precursors in stream regime. The stream is subjected to a surface wave (5) electric field, excited by the use of microwave power (7) which is introduced into a field applicator ( 6 ), generating high energy density plasmas (2,3,4), that break the precursors into its atomic and/or molecular constituents. The system comprises a plasma reactor with a surface wave launching zone, a transient zone with a progressively increasing cross-sectional area, and a nucleation zone. The plasma reactor together with an infrared radiation source (11) provides a controlled adjustment of the spatial gradients, of the temperature and the gas stream velocity. The majority of the obtained two-dimensional nanostructures samples have a thickness of a single atomic layer, in addition the process and system allow to obtain graphene production rates of the order of one gram per hour and higher.

The present invention refers to an equipment that allows the performance of fatigue testing at ultrasonic frequencies in a multiaxial loading, more specifically biaxial. The equipment is formed by two components, the horn (1) and the specimen (5), which are coupled with each other. The horn (1) and the specimen (5) possess such geometry that their resonant frequency which, is relevant for the testing, is synchronized with the excitation frequency of the exciter, so that the whole equipment vibrates in free regime. Through its vibration mode, the horn (1) transforms the pure axial cyclic movement which it receives from the exciter into a mixed movement comprised of axial and torsional cyclic and in-phase movements. The specimen (5) possesses, synchronized at the same frequency, its first axial vibration mode and its third torsional vibration mode.

This invention presents the decentralized process and local regulation system, to mitigate voltage swells (overvoltages) due to the increasing integration of microgenerators in low voltage distribution networks. The process is based on a local voltage controller, acting on the leading angle of the injected current and simultaneously controlling the active power: - to maintain the microgenerator at its maximum power point, except if the physical limit of the current value is exceeded, which allows in most situations to adjust the voltage profiles along the network to values within the limits established in the EN 50160 standard; - to reduce the injected active power, proportionally to the value of the leading angle of the injected current, if the physical limitation of the current value is exceeded; - to reduce the active power injected using a closed-loop regulator of the local site neutra1 voltage.

The following invention relates to high-performance concrete without any incorporation of natural aggregates. The term "high-performance" is based on the quantification of some of the properties in accordance with the literature review. Within this context, there are in the literature requirements of 76-124 MPa and of 33-44 GPa, respectively for compressive strength and elastic modulus, and the use of slump class S4 in the fresh state is also recommended. These concretes are produced with Portland cement and fly ash (binder), recycled concrete aggregates (RCA), superplasticizers, and possibly silica fume. This invention is presented as a new product within the recycled construction materials market, providing a solution for the waste management and scarcity of natural resources. With the increase of the use of high-performance concrete, the substitution of all natural aggregates with recycled aggregates is fundamental for the reduction of all associated environmental impacts.
