L'étude de la représentation littéraire du corps humain dans les oeuvres de François Rabelais et de Francisco de Quevedo offre de très riches possibilités, pas seulement à cause de l'indéniable importance du sujet dans leurs oeuvres et de l'extraordinaire créativité linguistique dont leurs discours comiques témoignent, mais aussi parce que la représentation littéraire du corps humain est un terrain où l'on peut observer avec une spéciale clarté la synthèse que chacun d'eux a produite entre une vaste formation culturelle de base humaniste et leur attachement à l'héritage de la culture comique traditionnelle. L'absence d'études comparatives entre ces deux écrivains et la presque inexistence d'études sur la réception de Rabelais chez les hispanophones ont déterminé le besoin de commencer le travail par la considération de ces problèmes. Comme complément, pour une meilleure connaissance des problèmes de réception de l'oeuvre de Rabelais chez les hispanophones, on a aussi présenté un panorama des traductions en espagnol de ses livres, depuis 1905 (date de publication. de la première version de Gargantua) jusqu'à nos jours. Dans la deuxième partie de cette thèse, on a examiné l'apport de Mikkail Bakhtine en ce qui concerne la représentation du corps dans les oeuvres comiques de l'époque, (incontournable pour nos objectifs, du moment que ce thème occupe une place exceptionnelle dans l'ensemble du système sémiotique qu'il présente), et la façon dont les sciences naturelles et les préceptives artistiques de cette période se proposent de décrire le corps pour y découvrir les liens de ressemblance qui, tout en l'unissant à l'ensemble du macrocosme, permettent d'y déceler les plans divins. A partir de ces considérations et du relèvement, dans les oeuvres de Quevedo et de Rabelais, des images où le corps humain est mis en rapport avec des éléments non humains, on les a décrites et proposé une classification des images déshumanisantes, qui établissent des relations analogiques (de ressemblance ou d'identité) entre deux termes appartenant aux classes humain/non humain, pas seulement différentes mais encore complémentaires du point de vue logique. On a ensuite analysé les effets d'ensemble de ce système dans les grandes lignes compositives du portrait (transformisme et fragmentation) pour différencier l'attitude de chacun des auteurs étudiés vis à vis de ce qui concerne la vie matérielle de l'homme.

ITC/USA 2005 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-First Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 24-27, 2005 / Riviera Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / Solid State On-Board Recording is becoming a revolutionary way of recording airborne telemetry data and IRIG 106 Chapter 10 “Solid State On-Board Recorder Standard” provides interface documentation for solid state digital data acquisition. The Reduction and Analysis Program for Telemetry Recordings (RAPTR) is a standardized and extensible software application developed by the 96th Communications Group, Test and Analysis Division, at Eglin AFB, and provides a data reduction capability for disk files in Chapter 10 format. This paper provides the system description and software architecture of RAPTR and presents the 96th Communication Group’s total solution for Chapter 10 telemetry data reduction.

ITC/USA 2007 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Third Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 22-25, 2007 / Riviera Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / IRIG-106 Chapter 10 has become the recording standard for most of the new flight test programs and many of the current ongoing programs. The primary goal of the standard was to define a common format for recording 100% bulk data such as PCM, MIL-STD-1553 busses, Video/Audio, ARINC-429, Ethernet, IEEE-1394, Analog Data, and others. In most cases the standard has provided the instrumentation engineers and the data analysts with a recording solution that meets their needs. Many programs require transmission of safety of flight data from a subset of the data acquired by the recorder. This may include selected video/audio channels, selected avionics bus data, and others. This requirement presents a dilemma to the flight test engineer who must duplicate part of the system for telemetry. This paper discusses several applications in which the IRIG-106 Chapter 10 recorder can be used as a telemetry system. It will include the transmission of bulk MIL-STD-1553 data per IRIG-106 Chapter 8, transmission of multiple Video/Audio and PCM data channels, and transmission of selected avionics data per IRIG-106 Chapter 4.

All of this functionality is performed on a PC within the framework of the Microsoft Windows 95/NT graphical user interface.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 21, 2002 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / A need exists to provide a flexible data reduction tool that minimizes software development costs and reduces analysis time for telemetry data. The Common Airborne Processing System (CAPS), developed by the Freeman Computer Sciences Center at Eglin AFB, Florida, provides a generalpurpose data reduction capability for digitally recorded data on a PC. Data from virtually any kind of MIL-STD-1553 message or Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) frame can be extracted and converted to engineering units using a parameter dictionary that describes the data format. The extracted data can then be written to a file, ASCII or binary, with a great deal of flexibility in the output format. CAPS has become the standard for digitally recorded data reduction on a PC at Eglin. New features, such as composing derived parameters using mathematical expressions, are being added to CAPS to make it an even more productive data reduction tool. This paper provides a conceptual overview of the CAPS version 2.3 software.

Tableau d’honneur de la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales, 2010-2011 / Dans une perspective épistémocritique, notre étude entend montrer que, parce qu'ils procèdent tous deux de la même épistémè - une épistémè déterminée par la crise de l'interprétation qui sévit à leur époque -, les textes de Rabelais et de Galilée trouvent à s'éclairer l'un l'autre en certaines parts, et ce, malgré le fait qu'ils appartiennent à des champs distincts du savoir. S'étendant depuis le XVIe siècle jusqu'au siècle suivant, la crise de l'interprétation dont il est question comporte deux aspects majeurs : la révision des canons exégétiques de l'époque et le passage du commentaire à l'expérimentation. Pour se rattachés spécifiquement à l'un ou à l'autre de ces aspects de la crise, les textes de Rabelais et de Galilée confirment le commun rapport qu'ils entretiennent avec elle de même qu'avec l'épistémè qu'elle a su en partie déterminer. De là, la filiation épistémique desdits textes peut être posée. Elle se vérifie en observant l'usage significatif qu'ont fait Rabelais et Galilée de la fiction linguistique et du dialogue. Propres à l'épistémè qu'ils partagent, ces deux types d'usage constituent la base sur laquelle pourront être rapprochés, s'éclairer et se comprendre les textes de Rabelais et de Galilée.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 26-29, 1998 / Town & Country Resort Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California / Airborne instrumentation used during flight tests is being installed and maintained in a unique way by operational bomber testers from the Air Force’s 53d Wing. The ability of the flight test community to test on operational aircraft has always been somewhat curtailed by the need for advanced forms of instrumentation. Operational fighter flight test squadrons have aircraft assigned to them, which they modify on as needed basis, much the same as developmental testers. However, bomber operational test units must use operational aircraft to accomplish their mission as there are no bombers in the Air Force’s Air Combat Command (ACC) specifically set aside for operational tests. During test missions, these units borrow aircraft from operational bomb wings, and then return them to service with the bomb wing after testing is complete. Yet, the requirement for instrumentation on these test missions is not much different than that of developmental testers. The weapon system engineer’s typically require Mil-Std-1553, video, telemetry, and Global Positioning System (GPS) Time-Space-Position-Information airborne receiver recordings. In addition, this data must be synchronized with an IRIG-B time code source, and recorded with the same precision as the data gathered during development test and evaluation (DT&E). As a result, several techniques have been developed, and instrumentation systems designed for these operational test units to incorporate instrumentation on operational aircraft. Several factors hamper the usual modification process in place at bases such as Edwards AFB and Eglin AFB. Primary among these is the requirement to maintain the aircraft in an operational configuration, and still meet all of the modification design safety criteria placed on the design team by the aircraft’s single manager. Secondary to the list of restrictions is modification time. Aircraft resources are stretched quite thin when one considers all of the bomb wing’s operational commitments. When they must release an aircraft for test missions, the testers must insure that schedule impacts are minimal. Therefore, these systems must install and de-install within one to two days and be completely portable. Placing holes in existing structures or adding new permanent structure is unacceptable. In addition, these aircraft must be capable of returning to combat ready status at any time. This paper centers on the B-52 bomber, and the active aircraft temporary modifications under control of the 49th Test Squadron (49 TESTS) at Barksdale AFB in Louisiana. The B-52 presents unique design challenges all its own, in addition to the general restrictions already mentioned. This paper will present the options that the 49 TESTS has successfully used to overcome the aforementioned restrictions, and provide an appropriate level of specialized instrumentation for its data collection requirements.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 26-29, 1992 / Town and Country Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California / MIL-STD-1553 multiplex data buses are commonly used to link complex software-controlled systems in modern aircraft. The software in these aircraft is routinely updated; each update requires flight testing. Also, sophisticated weapons and electronic warfare systems which are integrated into operationally-ready aircraft must be routinely evaluated. The simplest way to perform the required evaluation is to record all the data from the multiplex data buses during an operational flight; these data can then be replayed and examined after the flight. Traditionally, some operational systems had to be disabled or removed from an aircraft to allow installation of a data acquisition system. This paper discusses a MILSTD- 1553 multiplex bus Record-All Small Data Acquisition System (RASDAS) installed in a McDonnell Douglas CF-188 fighter aircraft to record all data from two 1553 multiplex data buses without displacing any operational equipment. The specific requirements and constraints associated with evaluating the integrated systems of a CF-188 aircraft are examined; further, RASDAS implementation in this aircraft type is discussed from planning to flight evaluation.
