International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 26-29, 1998 / Town & Country Resort Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California / The Test & Evaluation community is starting to migrate toward solid state recording. This paper outlines some of the important areas that are new to solid state recording as well as examining some of the issues involved in moving to a direct recording methodology. Some of the parameters used to choose a solid state memory architecture are included. A matrix to compare various methods of data recording, such as solid state and magnetic tape recording, will be discussed. These various methods will be evaluated using the following parameters: Ruggedness (Shock, Vibration, Temperature), Capacity, and Reliability (Error Correction). A short discussion of data formats with an emphasis on efficiency and usability is included.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 22-25, 2001 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / The DoD has recently mandated new acquisition, or procurement strategies for the research and development community. The policy includes using Non-Developmental Items (NDI) whenever feasible, as well as avoiding the use of proprietary sources. Such practices lesson time from specification to operation, ease of extensibility and progressive maintainability. In this paper we discuss the NDI and in-house designed test assets developed and implemented for testing the pods. Our time from specification to test was less then one year.

At Saab Aerospace in Linköping, components for measurement systems to the fighter aircraft JAS 39 Gripen are developed. In this activity you sometimes want to record the traffic transmitted on the data busses that connects different sys-tems. This traffic on the data busses is using the military standard MIL-STD-1553. This project has aimed to create a system for recording and sending 1553-data. The system is used on an ordinary personal computer, equipped with a recon- figurable I/O card that among others has a programmable logic circuit (FPGA). The recorded data are stored on a hard drive. The system has a graphical user interface, where the user can configure different methods of filtering the data, and other preferences. The completed system has currently the capacity to record one channel. This works excellent and the system basically meets all the requirements stated at the start of the project. By using this system instead of the commercial available systems on the market one will get a competitive alternative. If the system where to be developed further, with more channels, it would get even more price worth. Both in case of price per channel, but also in functionality. This is because it is possible to design exactly the functions the user demands. But the current version is already fully functional and competitive compared to commercial systems.

This thesis analyzes the corporeal origin of theoretical works in XVI$ sp{ rm th}$ century French architecture. A comparison of Philibert de l'Orme's treatises and Francois Rabelais' work allows for a dynamic awareness of materiality to emerge. During the Renaissance, this awareness was based on analogical relationships and Hermetic texts. However, whether one looks at the theory of the Elements, the concept of Proportion, the microcosm-macrocosm interplay, or even the Cardinal Virtues, it appears that the references were always traced back to the everyday experience of the body. Confronted with the mechanistic and objectifying conceptualizations that dominate today, this thesis supports the crucial role the architect must play in the bringing forth of places that allow for a perception of the body closer to apprenticeship than to domination.

Son hétérogénéité vient, en grande partie, des multiples voix présentes dans son discours ; en d’autres termes, de son aspect polyphonique et intertextuel. Autre particularité de l’oeuvre rabelaisienne est sa façon particulière de “dire, par le rire, la verité”. Le comique et les joyeuses plaisanteries qui marquent ses écrits ne sont, en fait, que des “masques” qui cachent les critiques et les idéologies de l’auteur. À ce sujet, nous avertit le narrateur Alcofrybas Nasier dejà dans son prologue, quand il nous conseille de ne pas nous satisfaire avec l’apparence extérieure banale de son oeuvre, mais de chercher sa substantifique moëlle, c’est-à-dire, les sujets importants concernant tant la vie sociale, comme la religion et la vie économique. Ansi, c’est aussi à travers les plaisanteries et le comique que Rabelais établit-il des critiques à la religion prédominante à l’époque - le Christianisme – et transmet ses propres idées religieuses. A travers l’ appropriation burlesque des extraits des Écritures Sacrées, l’ écrivain met en question, d’un côté, les pratiques et les dogmes de l’Église et, de l’autre, proclame ses propres idéologies, lesquelles s’ approchent des pensées réformistes et évangélistes en vogue dans ce siècle-là. Par ce travail, on a l’intention d’analyser les intertextes (citations et allusions) des Écritures Sacrées présentes dans Gargantua, en vue de ses fonctions (satirique, parodique ou recherche de l’autorité), afin de comprendre comment est décrite la pensée religieuse dans l’oeuvre étudiée / A obra de François Rabelais caracteriza-se, sobretudo, por sua pluralidade estilística, linguística e genérica, que a torna tão moderna e singular para os padrões literários do século XVI. Sua heterogeneidade advém, em grande parte, das múltiplas vozes presentes em seu discurso, em outras palavras, de seu aspecto polifônico e intertextual. Outra peculiaridade da obra rabelaisiana é o seu jeito especial de “dizer, rindo, a verdade”. A comicidade e as alegres brincadeiras que caracterizam seus escritos são, na verdade, apenas “máscaras” que encobrem as críticas e as ideologias do autor. Sobre isto, já nos adverte o narrador Alcofrybas Nasier em seu prólogo, quando nos aconselha a não nos contentarmos com a aparência exterior banal de sua obra, mas procurar o seu substantifico tutano, ou seja, os assuntos importantes referentes tanto à vida social, quanto à religião e à vida econômica. Assim, é também por meio da brincadeira e da comicidade que Rabelais estabelece críticas à religião predominante em sua época - o Cristianismo – e transmite seus próprios ideais religiosos. Através da apropriação burlesca de trechos das Sagradas Escrituras, o escritor questiona, por um lado, as práticas e dogmas da Igreja e, por outro, apregoa suas próprias ideologias, as quais se assemelham aos pensamentos reformistas e evangelistas em voga neste século. Por meio deste trabalho, pretendemos analisar os intertextos (citações e alusões) das Sagradas Escrituras presentes em Gargantua, considerando suas funções (satírica, paródica ou busca de autoridade), com a finalidade de entender como se delineia o pensamento religioso na obra em questão

The problem that this thesis addresses is what was meant by politics based on consent in seventeenth-century England. It proceeds by examining several of the best-known English political writers, beginning with Richard Hooker and ending with John Locke. It attempts to offer an historical account of the meaning of consent, and its relationship to political obligation. The method used is both philosophical and historical. It examines the cogency and coherence of doctrines of consent that were articulated, beginning with Hooker, touches on several theories of consent that arose during the period of the English Civil War, and examines the relative importance of consent theories during the Restoration and Glorious Revolution. It considers consent, or contract theory in light of two models: a 'social contract theory' that argues from a state of nature, and 'constitutional contract theory' that understands consent as consent to law. The nature of political obligation is a function of both varieties of consent theory. The general conclusion is that, despite the arguments of the Levellers for a politics based on 'each man's consent', John Locke does not use this vocabulary of consent. He relies instead on a variant form of English constitutionalism, a variety of consent theory that has affinities with that of Richard Hooker's, that assumes that Parliament consents to law for all. It concludes by arguing that, in spite of recent readings of consent theories that have suggested that political obligation was simply understood as a duty to God, one's consent to particular laws was a necessary component of one's obligation and willingness to obey. / Arts, Faculty of / History, Department of / Graduate

Political thinkers of the Renaissance, foremost among them Niccolò Machiavelli and Desiderius Erasmus, authored works commonly referred to as “mirrors of princes.” These writings described how princes should rule, and also often recommended a certain arrangement or relationship between the intellectual class and the political powers. François Rabelais’s five books of Pantagruel also depict and recommend a new relationship between these elements of society. For Rabelais, the tenets of a philosophy that he calls Pantagruelism set the terms between philosophers and rulers. Pantagruelism, defined in Rabelais’s Quart Livre as “gaiety of spirit confected in contempt for fortuitous things,” suggest a measured attitude toward politics. Rabelais’s prince, Pantagruel, accordingly rejects the tendencies of ancient thinkers such as Diogenes the Cynic who viewed politics as futile. Yet Pantagruel also rejects the anti-theoretical disposition of modern thinkers such as Machiavelli who placed too much confidence in politics. I demonstrate how Rabelais warns against the philosophers’ entrance into public service, and how he simultaneously promotes a less selfish philosophy than that of Diogenes. I argue that Pantagruel’s correction of his friend Panurge through the consultations of experts regarding the latter’s marriage problem shows that fortune will always trouble human life and politics. I also argue that Pantagruel’s rule over the kingdom of Utopia exemplifies a Socratic form of rule—reluctant rule—which relies on a trust that necessity (embodied in the Tiers Livre in the Pantagruelion plant) and not fortune (embodied in the Tiers Livre in Panurge’s future wife) governs the world, including the political world.
