  • Clothing List: Rock Climbing Day Trip
    CLOTHING LIST: ROCK CLIMBING DAY TRIP When selecting clothing, an important consideration is the material. Cotton clothing does not keep you warm if it is wet and it takes a very long time to dry. This can be desirable on a hot, sunny day but can mean hypothermia on a cool, cloudy, breezy day. Wool and synthetic fabrics dry quickly and will keep you warm, even if they are wet. Several layers of clothing made of these materials are best. This allows you to add or remove layers as your activity level and the temperature change throughout the day. If you do not have everything on the list we encourage you to borrow items from Carolina Outdoor Education’s surplus clothing bin. We have rain gear and warm layers available. Make sure and let your Instructors know what you need at the pre-trip meeting. * - Indicates items available from Carolina Outdoor Education FOOTWEAR Approach Shoes: You will need lightweight hiking boots or sturdy tennis shoes for the steep, rocky approach to the climbing site. Tennis shoes can be used for climbing, as well. *Climbing shoes: Bring them, if you have them. We have some you can borrow, as well. CLOTHING T shirt: You will want a short sleeve shirt for climbing. *Warm layer: Medium or heavy-weight shirt or sweater made of fleece or wool. (WEATHER DEPENDENT) *Rain layer: You should bring raingear, in case we are caught in a storm and to help keep you warm. Pants/shorts: Dress for the weather. You may want to have a warm pair of pants over shorts, so you can adjust for the weather and activity level.

  • Technical Information Light – Headlamps Technical Information Headlamps
    Technical Information Light – Headlamps Technical Information Headlamps Tasks of frontlighting Headlamps illuminate the road space in front of the car and must meet the requirements of all road users. In particular, the low-beam functions are subject to legal regulations designed to protect oncoming traffic from being dazzled. “Making the night into day” by maximizing the light output is therefore subject to reasonable restrictions. Only within the scope of legal regulations can danger situations in the case of poor visibility be gradually defused by improving many parameters of headlamp technology. The following lighting functions can be combined in the headlamp: Functions for seeing 1 Low beam is available as a series product in addition to the standard function, as an extended function of the Variable Intelligent Lighting System construction kit, called VARILIS®: 1a Static bend lighting as an additional low beam element 1b Dynamic bend lighting as swiveling low beam 1c Cornering light is a lamp function from the point of approval regulations, but is often integrated into the headlamp. New lighting functions are ready for use in 2007. 2 High beam can also be designed in swiveling form as bend lighting, mainly in combined systems. To limit the maximal value on public road space, also in combi- nation with auxiliary driving lamps, the legislator has defined a reference number. In the field of rally and off-road driving, those restrictions are not relevant. For that kind of application, performance is limited only by technical basic conditions such as package space, temperature and available light sources. 3 Front fog light is also used as an auxiliary lamp.

  • Automatic Headlamp Switching System Using Accelerometers
    AUTOMATIC HEADLAMP SWITCHING SYSTEM USING ACCELEROMETERS Kai-Chi Chan and Yiu-Sang Moon Department of Computer Science and Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, N.T., Hong Kong Keywords: Automobile, Night vision, Accelerometer, Alpha beta filter. Abstract: This paper presents a two-sensor method to enhance the nighttime driving safety. It consists of two accelerom- eters and an array of auxiliary swiveling headlamps. An alpha beta filter is proposed to stabilize the readings of the accelerometers. With the kinematics of a turning car, the cars turning path is predicted based on the steer- ing angle measured by the accelerometers so that the relevant auxiliary swiveling headlamps will be switched on accordingly. In this paper, we will study the performance of the alpha beta filter. Test results demonstrate that our angular measurement method is an efficient way for proper road illumination along curved paths. 1 INTRODUCTION immediately even if the drivers do not follow the path history or the digital map data is not up-to-date.

  • Men Vs. Mountains Page 1 of 8
    Men vs. Mountains Page 1 of 8 Publication: The Colorado Springs Gazette; Date:2008 Jul 20; Section:Section A; Page Number: 1 _Xi[ifZb7HGG7\e[liXeZ\7ile Men vs. Mountains Why would anyone do this? BY DAVE PHILIPPS THE GAZETTE j‘cm\ikfe The instructions for the Hardrock 100 Endurance Run are easy to sum up but hard to pull off. “If you see a mountain in front of you, climb it,” race director Dale Garland told 140 runners gathered at the starting line earlier this month. “If you see a snowfield, go down it. If you see a creek, cross it … And remember the No. 1 rule, no whining.” Hardrock is widely considered the toughest 100.5-mile race on the continent. The roller coaster of rocky trails and Jeep roads through Colorado’s San Juan Mountains climbs 11 mountain passes and one 14,000-foot peak for a vertical gain of 32,962 feet. Almost all of it is in the thin, lung-burning air above tree line. And except for quick passes through Telluride and Ouray, it sticks to remote, lonely valleys. Racers have 48 hours to finish. Even though the event draws some of the top ultrarunners, historically just more than half succeed. In the crowd this year, two very different runners from Colorado Springs stood wondering the same thing: Will I make it? Neal Taylor, 45, is a veteran ultrarunner. Most people know him as the cheerful caretaker of Barr Camp, but hidden in the back of the mountain cabin is a hefty “1,000 mile” belt buckle documenting that he has finished the Leadville 100 — the state’s second-toughest ultramarathon — 10 times.
