An international consortium is studying the feasibility of performing in situ geochemical analysis of Mars soils and rocks at stand-off distances up to several meters using the Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectechnique(LIBS) technique.
It can't be all that hard to add a communications overlay to wires and meters using the ubiquitous products available from the telecom and Internet world, nor to add rudimentary intelligence to electrical appliances, thermostats, transmission gear and the like.
The red crosses were picked from images like (b) and converted to meters using the scales measured in (a), which are comparable with individual measurements on the selected images (blue circles).
Figure 8a shows the areas on the map where the visual servoing control was activated, and Fig. 8b shows the longitudinal speed of the car on the test route, transforming the GPS coordinates to meters using the WGS84 global reference system.
BMI was calculated as weight (in kg) divided by height (in square meters), using the measurements obtained closest to the time of radiographic evaluation.
We converted all measurements of longitude and latitude to meters using the North America Datum 1983 State Plane West Virginia North FIPS 4701 projection.
