The ARIES Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) currently uses an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) with an inherent rotation rate error bias of 10 degrees/hour. Then need for a more accurate IMU for long term missions has led to the purchase of the Honeywell HG1700 IMU. The HG1700 is a ring laser gyroscope designed specifically as part of the navigation software in multiple U.S. missiles. The objective of this research is to perform numerous bench tests on the HG1700 to test its capabilities and to begin the process of implementing the IMU into the ARIES unmanned underwater vehicle. Specifically, the IMU is tested for correct setup configurations, angle of rotation accuracies, the rotation rate error bias, and positional accuracies. Also, guidelines for integrating the IMU with the current software in the ARIES vehicle are discussed.

This paper explores an approach to building electronic musical instruments for use in improvised music that I have found to be particularly effective for developing flexible, dynamic, and versatile instruments well adapted to the improvised context, and a resultant set of suites of solo improvised character pieces. The lessons learned from this research can be useful beyond the scope of this particular instrument design philosophy. In Part I, I present the foundations of my approach to instrument design, based on my past experience and the technological environment in which electronic music has developed. I discuss the values that guide me in the creation of instruments for use in improvised performance, and describe the development tools iRTcmix and Nikl, and Dixey, an instrument I have created with those tools and hardware devices using the Apple iOS operating system. Part II discusses the musical issues related to the creation of Character Weekend, a set of solo recordings produced with the tools described in Part I.
