It is of some importance to have established this, for neither the Latin edition, published at Leiden in 1619, nor the above-mentioned French edition of 1621 has the dedication to the states-general, signed by Joris von Speilbergenz — the former having in its stead a dedication by Geelkercken to Petrus Graef,' whilst the latter commences with the Preface to the Reader. This omission of Speilbergen's own dedication from two versions which would naturally be more generally consulted by posterity than one in Dutch was to be deplored, for a Sight of that document — so very emphatic in its language as to authorship — would have precluded the possibility of the error above alluded to taking root.
These are scenes which belong to the home circle, and are cherished by the participants therein as pleasant sou venire of our short detention in American waters.
The only comprehensive guide to Kalman filtering and its applications to real-world GPS/INS problems Written by recognized authorities in the field, this book provides engineers, computer scientists, and others with a working familiarity with the theory and contemporary applications of Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Inertial Navigational Systems, and Kalman filters. Throughout, the focus is on solving real-world problems, with an emphasis on the effective use of state-of-the-art integration techniques for those systems, especially the application of Kalman filtering. To that end, the authors explore the various subtleties, common failures, and inherent limitations of the theory as it applies to real-world situations, and provide numerous detailed application examples and practice problems, including GPS-aided INS, modeling of gyros and accelerometers, and WAAS and LAAS. Drawing upon their many years of experience with GPS, INS, and the Kalman filter, the authors present numerous design and implementation techniques not found in other professional references, including original techniques for: * Representing the problem in a mathematical model * Analyzing the performance of the GPS sensor as a function of model parameters * Implementing the mechanization equations in numerically stable algorithms * Assessing computation requirements * Testing the validity of results * Monitoring GPS, INS, and Kalman filter performance in operation In order to enhance comprehension of the subjects covered, the authors have included software in MATLAB, demonstrating the workings of the GPS, INS, and filter algorithms. In addition to showing the Kalman filter in action, the software also demonstrates various practical aspects of finite word length arithmetic and the need for alternative algorithms to preserve result accuracy.
This book describes the design and performance analysis of satnav systems, signals, and receivers, with a general approach that applies to all satnav systems and signals in use or under development. It also provides succinct descriptions and comparisons of each satnav system. Clearly structured, and comprehensive depiction of engineering satellite-based navigation and timing systems, signals, and receivers GPS as well as all new and modernized systems (SBAS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, IRNSS) and signals being developed and fielded Theoretical and applied review questions, which can be used for homework or to obtain deeper insights into the material Extensive equations describing techniques and their performance, illustrated by MATLAB plots New results, novel insights, and innovative descriptions for key approaches and results in systems engineering and receiver design If you are an instructor and adopted this book for your course, please email ieeeproposals@wiley.com to get access to the instructor files for this book.
Although soon after my arrival in the city of N ew-york, about two years ago, learning by experience, what already long had been known to me, the great attention the enlightened pcpu lation of the United States pay to science and the arts, and that they admit that unquestion able truth, that the very best blessings are the intellectual, I was, however, soon aware, that Scandinavian affairs. Were too little known in this country. Induced by that ardent patriotism peculiar to the Norsemen, I immediately re solved, as far as it lay in my power, to throw some light upon this, here, almost term incog nita, and compose a brief History of Scandinavia, which once was the arbiter of the European system, and by which America, in reality, had been discovered as much as upwards of 'five.
The student of American History in our schools is given an opportunity to become well acquainted with the early explorations of the Great North west and the Great Southwest; he is taught little or nothing of the real discoverers of the central route from the Missouri River to the Pacific Ocean. This is due to the fact that, until very recently, our historians have been concerned too much with governmental acts, too little with the activities of the people themselves. The oflicial explorers of the Northwest and the Southwest were actually pioneers; but the official exploration of the great central region beyond the Rockies was undertaken twenty years after the actual dis coverers and explorers had set out from St. Louis. Considering the fact that it was by way of the central route that the tide of migration flowed across the Rockies and possessed the Far West, it would seem that the discovery and exploration of that route might now, at last, be given some attention in our schools.

The late Sir Edward Sabine also writes: All attempts that have hitherto been made to connect the secular mag netic change with any other physical phenomena, either terrestrial or cosmical, have signally failed. Magnetism. — Certain substances, natural or artificial, have the power Of attracting iron, and are popularly known as magnets, the cause of this attraction is called magnetism.
