Pursuit guidance is a form of guidance widely used in older ground attack missile s. In pursuit guidance, the missile is steered so that the velocity vector of the missile always points at the target. In the early days of guided missile s where the computers were analog this was an easy implementation in the hardware. It found particular use in the early laser guided bomb s with the aerodynamically stabilized birdies on the front of the bomb. The birdies sit on a universal joint and thus will point in the direction of the relative wind. If the laser receiver is placed on this wind stabilized reference, the angle that the laser is off the wind vector is the same as is measured relative to the centerline of the seeker. Thus, the angle is constructed easily in analog hardware. References Cite book title Modern Navigation, Guidance, And Control Processing last Lin first C.

A guidance document is a publication, often by a regulatory agency , that contains a set of instructions, often to establish the publisher s expectations. They are often used to explain the objective or interpretation of a vague or nonspecific law or requirement. Types of guidance documents While guidance documents are not usually enforceable rules or requirements by themselves, they often define standards or expectations which are part of a rule or requirement. For example, a regulation might require adequate testing for relevant microorganisms in sterile containers and a guidance document would be used to explain what testing is adequate and which organisms are relevant. Guidance documents are also used to explain internal policies or practices to simplify an organization s interactions with other parties. For example, a guidance document could explain how to prepare a report or what information should be gathered before submitting a complaint.

nihongo Administrative guidance gy sei shid is a Japan ese government practice defined under Article 2 of the Administrative Procedure Act Japan Administrative Procedure Act of 1993 as guidance, recommendations, advice, or other acts by which an Administrative Organ may seek, within the scope of its duties or affairs under its jurisdiction, certain action or inaction on the part of specified persons in order to realize administrative aims, where such acts are not Dispositions. Historically, the government of Japan employed this practice in imposing its policies on individuals and organizations, implying poorer treatment for those who failed to comply with its non binding advice. The Act of 1993 was the first statute to specifically regulate the practice of administrative guidance. Under the Act A government agency may not treat a person in an adverse manner solely because that person failed to follow administrative guidance article 32.2 . Administrative guidance may not be used to pressure a petitioner into withdrawing or modifying a petition once they have indicated an intent not to do so article 33 . The content of administrative guidance and the identity of the official responsible must be made clear to the counterparty article 35.1 .

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Laser guidance is a technique of guiding a missile or other projectile or vehicle to a target by means of a laser beam. Some laser guided systems utilise beam riding guidance, but most operate more similarly to semi active radar homing SARH . This technique is sometimes called SALH , for Semi Active Laser Homing . With this technique, a laser is kept pointed at the target and the laser radiation bounces off the target and is scattered in all directions this is known as painting the target , or laser painting . The missile, bomb, etc. is launched or dropped somewhere near the target. When it is close enough for some of the reflected laser energy from the target to reach it, a laser seeker detects which direction this energy is coming from and adjusts the projectile trajectory towards the source. While the projectile is in the general area and the laser is kept aimed at the target, the projectile should be guided accurately to the target. Note that laser guidance is not useful against targets that do not reflect much laser energy, including those coated in special paint which absorbs laser energy. This is likely to be widely used by advanced military vehicles in order to make it harder to use laser rangefinder s against them and harder to hit them with laser guided munitions. An obvious circumvention would be to aim the laser merely close to the target. Countermeasures to laser guidance are Laser warning receiver Laser detection systems , Smoke screen , active anti laser active protection systems.

Q guidance is a method of missile guidance system guidance used in some U.S. ballistic missiles and some civilian space flights. It was developed in the 1950 s by J. Halcombe Laning and Richard Battin at the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory MIT Instrumentation Lab . Q guidance is used for missiles whose trajectory consists of a relatively short boost phase or powered phase during which the missile s propulsion system operates, followed by a ballistic phase during which the missile coasts to its target under the influence of gravity. Cruise missile s use different guidance methods . The objective of Q guidance is to hit a specified target at a specified time if there is some flexibility as to the time the target should be hit then other types of guidance can be used . Early Implementations At the time Q guidance was developed the main competitive method was called Delta guidance.

Remote guidance , in the medical context, refers to the supervision or guidance of a medical task, usually a procedures or test, from a remote location. This falls in the realm of Real time computing real time telemedicine applications. By way of example, a radiologist may guide an ultrasound examination from a remote location. As such the proximate requisite expertise to accomplish a medical task is significantly diminished. In the previous example, a diagnostic quality ultrasound can be accomplished by non medically trained individuals manipulating an ultrasound device located with the patient under guidance from a remote location. This is an example of teleradiology If appropriately configured, the remote guidance can originate from another room or floor in the same building, to as far away as another continent or even planet. NASA researchers have successfully demonstrated remote guidance of diagnostic level cardiac ultrasonography using an ultrasound on the space station, non medical astronauts performing the exam as guided by a terrestrially located expert. Remote diagnostics Remote diagnostics refers to a real time telemedical application which achieves diagnostic level quality and information exchange. In this sense, it refers to an expectation for quality sufficient for making or excluding a medical diagnosis . In the tele medical context specific to radiologic images these images often are consistent with the DICOM standard. Given bandwidth issues universally plaguing the healthcare environment imagery beyond still images and brief video has not yet become standard expectation of care environments or PACS systems. Ultrasound scanning commonly utilized for abdomen , musculoskeletal , pelvis , gynecologic , cardiac and vascular evaluations has shown potential for remote diagnosis only of late.

POV date November 2009 The Lace Sensor is a guitar pickup designed by Don Lace and manufactured by AGI Actodyne General International since 1985. This line of electric guitar pickups was used exclusively by Fender Musical Instruments Corporation Fender from 1987 to 1996. Lace Sensors are true single coil pickups however, internally they are different from classic single coils. The chief difference is that the coil is surrounded by metal barriers which blocks electro magnetic interference such as power line hum. These barriers also help concentrate the magnetic field, allowing weaker magnets to be used, which results in less string pull. Less string pull, in turn, means truer pitch and intonation, and superior sustain . Ratings Four types of Lace Sensor pickups for Stratocaster were originally manufactured denoted with an following the model name , followed by five newer models, each with a different output rating and tone. Lace Sensors are also available for Telecaster, Precision Bass, Jazz Bass and Jazz Bass V.
