![]() In February 2021, the Navy gave Raytheon a deal worth nearly 33 million dollars to deliver “Coyote Block 3” loitering munitions for surface and submarine drones. The US Navy, on the other hand, wants to go even further. In 2013, the Naval Research Laboratory successfully launched an autonomous aerial drone, the XFC UAC, from a torpedo tube of the nuclear attack submarine USS Providence using a launch device called “Sea Robin.” At the time, the Navy said that if this test went well, it could give submarine forces and special operations “revolutionary” ISR powers. The US Navy had wanted this kind of capability for a long time. The drone weighs 4 kg and is 68.6 cm long and 49.5 cm wide. It has sensors for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions and a secure digital data link (DDL). The Blackwing 10C is based on the Switchblade loitering munition and is released from a tube. A few months later, the Navy announced plans to purchase 120 “Blackwing 10C” drones from AeroVironment. The US Navy’s Naval Sea Systems Command requested the industry in October 2020 to acquire aerial drones that could be deployed from a submarine. Once communication was established, the drone was piloted from the submarine, and a live video feed from the drone’s camera was transmitted to the control console, according to AID, which sees the success of this test as an indicator of future operational capabilities.įrance is not the only nation pursuing this capability. ![]() The submarine put out its communication antenna to establish a connection. The cocoon opened upon reaching the surface, liberating the drone, which positioned itself above sea level. Image: AIDĭuring the experiment, the unmanned aerial vehicle enclosed the submerged SSN Amethyst in a “watertight protective cocoon” furnished by the Naval Group. According to AID’s explanation, this programme aims to incorporate a game-changing operational capability into the existing fleet in the medium term.įrench SSN Amethyst launches and operates Diodon HP30 Aerial Drone from underwater. ![]() These include intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance in visible or infrared spectrums, radio relays, and cargo delivery. Using a drone is one way to increase the sensors and capabilities of a submarine. The submarine’s overall situational awareness will be improved as a result of this initiative. In addition, as part of the experiments carried out by AID, a drone that Diodon had supplied was deployed and operated from within the underwater SSN. The monitoring capabilities of patrol vessels, surveillance frigates, and vessels providing support and assistance overseas could be improved with the use of drones like this one. It eliminates worries about drones falling into the water, making it hard to train in the real world or work in tough circumstances like bad weather or electromagnetic interference. These features open up new tactical possibilities, such as standing by during a mission while using little power and keeping an eye on certain spots along the coast. It is stable when it lands on water, can land and take off in water without any restrictions, and can land hard on land or the deck of a ship. They weigh less than 2 kg, can be deployed in less than 2 minutes, have a 30-minute flight autonomy, and have a range of 3 nautical miles. The DIODON HP30 systems cover a broad spectrum of short-range State Action at Sea missions, such as maritime security, safety, and pollution control. It can land, take off, and move around in the water to sea state 4. This drone is waterproof the remote control is IP67, and the drone is IP56. Its inflatable structure renders it unbreakable and unsinkable. This unbreakable and unsinkable drone is equipped with high-performance day/night sensors. The Centre d’Expérimentations Pratiques et de réception de l’Aéronautique navale has shown a keen interest in the aerial drone HP30 developed by Diodon as part of the French Navy’s “UAV sus sous-marin” experimentation operation, as recently reported by the Defence Innovation Agency. The small quadcopter drone was designed by a Toulouse company Diodon. ![]() In early May, the naval group achieved a first by launching an aerial drone from the nuclear attack submarine (SSN) Amethyst in the Mediterranean. ![]() Hide & Eek! is available on Knock Knock's website. Their first collaborative project was Phobophobia, which we featured here. Hide & Eek! is the second collaboration between Hat-trick and Knock Knock who met at Design Indaba 2011. “We tried a lot of different colours and paper weights – we wanted the illustrations inside to be invisible to the naked eye, but to show strongly when lit by torch,” Jim Sutherland explained. ![]() ![]() As the illustrations are hidden within French-folded and partially glued pages, it has to be the perfect thickness to conceal the images printed on the inside. The production of the book was challenging, Hat-trick told Creative Review. The concept for Hide & Eek! is inspired by the Victorian see-through peep show cards of yesteryear. In 2022 our small-but-mighty team was thrilled to become a part of the Union Square & Co. (And, obvs, we love mottos.) Knock Knock was founded in 2002 by Jen Bilik, and in 2018 we joined forces with Em & Friends (formerly known as Emily McDowell & Friends).

Six DVD compilations, each containing two episodes, have been released by Geneon Entertainment in Japan. The opening theme is "The Sacred Moon" by Toshiyuki Omori, and the ending theme is " Rinne no Hate ni" ( 輪廻の果てに) by Fumiko Orikasa. Two pieces of theme music are used for the episodes one opening theme and one ending theme. The episodes received their international premiere on the anime television network Animax, who have also later broadcast the series across its respective networks worldwide in Southeast Asia and South Asia, and its other networks in East Asia, South America and other regions under the title Lunar Legend Tsukihime. The episodes aired in Japan from Octoto Decemon BS-i and Tokyo Broadcasting System. The plot of the episodes follows Shiki Tohno after he moves into his sister's house, and his interactions with the vampire Arcueid Brunestud. The episodes are based on the visual novel Tsukihime by Type-Moon and adapt the source material over twelve episodes. The English adaptation of the episodes has been licensed by Geneon Entertainment. The episodes are directed by Katsushi Sakurabi, animated by J.C.Staff, and produced by the Tsukihime Production Committee, which included Geneon Entertainment, Movic, Tokyo Broadcasting System, and J.C.Staff. ![]() Tsukihime, Lunar Legend ( 真月譚 月姫, Shingetsutan Tsukihime) is an anime television series. The cover of the first DVD compilation released by Geneon Entertainment in North America. ![]() My conclusion is that no, the mere existence of "neck deep" as an expression doesn't have any relative implication on uses of "knee deep," but because each expression corresponds to a quite different literal situation, the figurative extensions have somewhat unique connotations, and it could be said that there are some cases where "knee-deep" and "neck-deep" could both be used, and some cases where one would be an unlikely fit compared to the other. One would not be likely to say " knee deep in grief," perhaps because the implication would be likely to strike a listener or reader as not quite bad enough. Here again, neck-deep seems fitting in describing a kind of grief so crippling that it forms the basis of an existential struggle. “I basically begged and the publishers to find a way and they were the ones to find a way and finish it.” “I was still neck deep in grief and suddenly a single father and not sleeping, but I knew that I wouldn’t be able to live and go on with life if this was left undone,” he told Meyers of finishing I’ll Be Gone in the Dark. In an article dated today in People magazine, actor and comedian Patton Oswalt relays a story about the death of his wife. One would be less likely to say that they were neck-deep in wedding planning, since the activity is generally a positive and optimistic one, and doesn't imply a complete incapacitation of the person undergoing the planning. Kimberly Howard was knee-deep in planning her wedding when she and her then-fiancé heard some friends talking about a service they used to plan their own honeymoon. Knee-deep, then, is well-suited to describe a situation in which one is beleaguered by obstacles and proceeds, whereas neck-deep might suggest that the situation is too dire to proceed. It seems to me that the figurative expression, like the literal one, might carry more of a connotation of being stuck in something to the extent that your feet are not on the ground, as in the case of Germany warring with Russia, whereas knee-deep actually draws attention to the legs and their movement. Writes the Chicago Tribune (paywall) in 1918. ![]() When figuratively extended, this is almost never used to describe a good thing. ![]() I notice in newspapers around the period from 1910 to 1920 that the phrase "neck deep" is used often in a literal sense to refer to people that are, for all intents and purposes, completely submerged and only floating in the natural position for a human being in water, which is exactly neck deep. I will offer a contrarian perspective here, and propose that neck-deep functions differently from knee-deep often enough to warrant a clear distinction, although this by no means lets knee-deep off the hook as being necessarily "not that bad." See penultimate paragraph and corresponding example for caveat. ![]() In fact, the previous administration used a rule called Title 42 to deal with - to deal with the pandemic, a rapidly - to rapidly expel people who crossed the border. You don’t - we don’t have enough immigrant judges - immigration judges to adjudicate the claims of immigrants. There’s a standard by what you have to meet. We don’t have enough asylum officers or personnel to determine whether people qualify for asylum. Over the past several years, thousands of people have been fleeing from Central and South America and the Caribbean countries ruled by oppressive dictators - including Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela - and escaping gang violence, which has the same impact, in Haiti.Ĭurrently, these four countries account for most of the people traveling into Mexico to start a new life by getting at the - to the American border and trying to cross.īut instead of safe and orderly process at the border, we have a patchwork system that simply doesn’t work as it should. That includes another legal way for someone to come to America by seeking asylum because they’re fleeing persecution, like a lot of our ancestors did as well.Īnd for many people, that’s what’s happening at our southwest border now. There are visas for students to study in our colleges and other special categories.Īnd regardless of the legal pathway they pro- they process - they process them to require everyone be involved in following the law. An American company can sponsor an employee from another country. For example, an American citizen - an American citizen can sponsor an immediate family member from another country. Now, there are a number of ways to immigrate to America legally under our existing laws. They chase their own American Dream in the greatest nation in the world.Īnd the story of America is the story of so many of your families - including mine, going back to the mid-1800s from Ireland. They flee oppression, you know, to the - to the freest nation in the world. To seek new opportunity in what is the strongest economy in the world. People come to America for a whole lot of different reasons. I don’t want to pretend there’s anything easy about it. I mean, it clouds the picture.īut let me explain what I’m going to do in - as clearly and plainly as I can. ![]() You know, I - I know it’s hard to see, but because our politics has been so divisive - you know it’s getting much better, as you’ve all observed, but it’s been so darn divisive that it - it clouds the picture. No one knows this better than the Vice President.Īnd to truly understand what’s happening there, it’s important to step back and see our - see the bigger picture here. And they rejected my recent request for an additional $3.5 billion to secure the border and funds for 2,000 new asylum personnel, another - asylum officers and personnel - and 100 new immigration judges so people don’t have to wait years to get their claims adjudicated, which they have a right to make a claim legally.Īnd the failure to pass and fund this comprehensive plan has increased the challenges that we’re seeing at our southwest border. On my first day in office, some of you may recall, who cover this area - and they cover it well - I sent Congress a comprehensive piece of legislation that would completely overhaul what has been a broken immigration system for a long time: cracking down on illegal immigration strengthening legal immigration and protecting DREAMers, those with temporary protected status, and farmworkers, who all are part of the fabric of our nation.īut congressional Republicans have refused to consider my comprehensive plan. Now, these actions alone that I’m going to announce today aren’t going to fix our entire immigration system, but they can help us a good deal in better managing what is a difficult challenge. Today, I’d like to - the Vice President and I would like to talk you about how my administration is dealing with our situation in the southwest border.

However, there are some other drawbacks to consider when using vector graphics. Because vector graphics are made of paths that result from mathematical equations, these images do not lose their quality when they are resized or edited. The sizing and quality issue is a big reason for converting raster images to vector-based graphics. This disadvantage is a considerable drawback for designers, especially those creating graphics that may need to be resized or manipulated quickly. If there are not enough pixels to cover a specific surface area, then the photo will look blurry and unclear. The quality depends on the number of pixels used within the design. Their primary limitation is that raster images cannot be scaled-up a size without losing quality. However, while raster images may be a lot easier to work with, they do come with drawbacks, especially for designers who create specific types of images. They are great for photo editing, more easily optimizing pictures for the web, and image storage. The limitations of raster images & when vector graphics are the best way to go We have a global network of designers who are ready to offer their services.įor your next raster to vector CAD conversion, hire a designer who can handle this task, so you and your team don’t have to. Our team understands this, and as a result, we strive to help companies and firms find the best design talent. A lot goes into the design process, and the hiring aspect can be a challenging one. This situation is where our team at Cad Crowd can help. ![]() So, it’s crucial to have a designer on your team who can identify these scenarios and can convert images that may have been initially created as raster images. Vector images are excellent for various graphic types. ![]() Understanding when each is appropriate is a vital part of raster to vector CAD conversion. The nuances of each of these image types make them suitable for certain types of graphics, while not being the best choice for others. Each path is a result of a mathematical equation that determines their color, location, and shape. On the other hand, vector images are comprised of paths. These dots come together to create entire images. They can be thought of as a point-based painting (think Vincent van Gogh). Raster images are made up of individuals pixels. Before understanding the function of raster to vector CAD conversion, it’s worth it to discuss the difference between the two concepts. Knowing when to use both is essential to developing designs that are relevant, well-designed, and satisfactory to your audience. Two of the leading graphic types are raster and vector graphics, and both have their advantages when designing and creating exceptional designs. Whether you’re creating a professional and minimalistic logo or enhancing a high-resolution photo, the image type you select will play a massive part in how your designs will come across to your audience.
