Spring has sprung and the Macquarie River at Bathurst looks sensational. in fact the whole district looks great! The river was called 'Wambool' by local aborigines and was a great food source for them. When Surveyor Evans discovered it he named it the Macquarie River after the man who had despatched him westwards after the crossing of the Blue Mountains by Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson. The river caused many problems for early residents when there was no bridge as it could rise some 24 feet during flooding. One of the first crossing points or ford was on Stephens Street (now Stephens Lane) which was originally part of James Blackman's land grant of 1818. One early Bathurst resident, Mrs Agnes Busby, wife of Dr Busby, recalled that "a blackfellow threw across the steam a boomerang, to which was attached a string. This was the guide to a rope, and soon a washing tub was being pulled across, the (bread and meat) contractor steadying it by a rope fixed to its side. This original cable punt crossed the water several times, till the whole of the bread and meat supply was safely landed. A similar method was frequently resorted to in the transmission of mails". The first ideas for a bridge were suggested from 1820s. In 1835 the Government Gazette announced that a bridge was to proceed but the Government had inadequate funds. In the mid 1840s Henry Ginn was despatched to Bathurst find a suitable site for a bridge. At first a stone bridge was suggested at a proposed cost of £6,500. Tired of Government inaction locals formed the Bathurst Suspension Bridge Company in 1854. Their bridge could cost up to £10,000. This must have spurred on the colonial Government and a five-arch timber bridge, designed by William Weaver, commenced early in 1855. It cost £11,000 and was opened by Sir William Denison, hence the name. In 1862 Government proposed a toll on the bridge but the idea lapsed for a while. Then five years later in June 1867 this first timber bridge was washed away. The Government wasted little time and had a new iron bridge built about 100 yards downstream from first bridge by P.N. Russell and Co, of Sydney. Completed in 1870 it consisted of 3 iron spans of 111 feet each.

Jeff Wuendry talks with Jeff Frick at the Autotech Council - Innovation in Motion event in Milpitas, CA. #AutoTechCouncil #theCUBE https://siliconangle.com/2017/07/27/laser-based-sensors-autonomous-vehicles-continue-evolve-autotech/ Laser-based sensors for autonomous vehicles continue to evolve As the battle amongst optical sensor technology providers rages on in the self-driving car market, general trends are starting to form within the industry. Laser-based Lidar systems (light detection and ranging) have historically been viewed as the gold standard for mapping resolution, but they are also known to be far more expensive than competing technologies. Yet the tech is evolving, according to Jeff Wuendry (pictured), marketing manager at Velodyne LiDAR Inc. “Currently, there are basically three technologies that are in the running: laser, radar and cameras. Where are there areas for innovation? Where are there opportunities for cost reduction? What is the application? From that perspective, there are a lot of things to happen within laser,” Wuendry said. Wuendry Jeff Frick (@JeffFrick), host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, during this year’s Auto Tech Council – Innovation in Motion event in Milpitas, California. They discussed the factors driving down laser tech costs. (* Disclosure below) Driving costs down in laser technology One of the more recent developments in laser technology driving the cost of deployment down is the advent of solid-state MEMS-based (microelectromechanical systems) laser technology, according to Wuendry. “There is a general trend for the innovation portion of that laser component, which is to move to solid state — eliminate moving parts, lower the cost down. I think as those products are getting released, I think you will see more adoption that occurs,” Wuendry said. As the industry and market continue to ask for extended sensor ranges and lower costs, Velodyne needs to ensure its laser technology remains competitive not only with other sensor technologies, but also within lower-cost laser options, Wuendry explained. “We continue to invest and develop new products. It’s fun for us. And seeing what those applications look like is fun to watch and be a part of,” Wuendry concluded.

Accur8vision joined Velodyne Lidar at CES 2019 for a presentation on advanced security. Accur8vision is an expanded perimetric security system. Unlike conventional systems that typically only guard perimeters, A8V guards the entire area of a patrolled space. If the intruder enters the guarded area, the system is notified. The operator will have information based on the exact location, size, and speed of the intruder. Even the trajectory of his movements will be known.
