International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 30-November 02, 1995 / Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada / Over the last 3 years the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Patuxent River, MD, has been in the process of developing a link between its secure Manned Flight Simulator (MFS) and Real Time Processing System (RTPS) facilities. The MFS hosts a wide variety of high fidelity fixed and rotary wing aircraft simulation models. The RTPS is used as a telemetry ground station for conduct of Navy flight testing at Patuxent River MD. The ability to integrate simulation with flight testing in a real time environment provides new potential for increased flight safety, enhanced engineering training, optimized flight test planning, real time simulation fidelity assessments, improved engineering analysis and other applications for enhanced flight testing, data analysis and data processing. A prototype system has been successfully designed and operated at NAWCAD in support of an F/A-18C flight test project which required simultaneous merging and display of real time and simulation data to reduce the risk of departure from controlled flight. As currently designed the link (encryption and decryption gear in the loop) can be operated in three modes: (1) Simulation sending data to RTPS (e.g. pilot-engineer pre-first flight preparation/training scenario, (2) simulation is driven by real aircraft control surface inputs and response is compared with that of the real aircraft for simulation fidelity assessments and (3) simulation "rides along" with the real aircraft and data are extracted from the simulation which are otherwise unavailable from the aircraft (e.g. flight control law interconnect signals, control law feedback signals, aerodynamic data, propulsion model data, avionics model data, other model data etc.). This paper discusses, design and implementation aspects of the RTPS-Simulator link, and includes a description of how the link was used to support a real time flight test program by providing critical safety of flight data. Other potential uses for the link will also be highlighted.

As plantas medicinais têm sido utilizadas como uma importante fonte de prevenção e tratamento de doenças para a população pobre dos países em desenvolvimento. A literatura apresenta resultados que demonstram a atividade de proteínas e flavonóides presentes nas folhas, sementes e cascas do caule de Bauhinia forficata Link com ação hipoglicemiante. Este trabalho tem como objetivo estabelecer um protocolo para a obtenção das células em cultura de B. forficata para posterior produção de compostos fenólicos e proteínas com atividade hipoglicemiante. Assim, inicialmente, foram padronizadas as condições para obtenção da cultura in vitro de B. forficata Link. Realizou-se a indução da calogênese (indução máxima 77%) utilizando-se folhas como explantes em meio MS suplementado com ácido 2,4-diclofenoxiacético 1 mg/L, cinetina 1 mg/L e 3% (m/v) de sacarose. A cultura de células em suspensão foi estabelecida a partir da transferência de inóculos de calos frescos (2g) para a 40 mL de meio MS. Após a padronização realizou-se elicitações, com MeJA e AS 1 mol/L, nos tempo de 0, 3, 6, 9 e 12 dias, monitoradas pelo teor de compostos fenólicos e proteínas totais no meio intra e extracelular. Avaliou-se também o efeito da suplementação com sacarose (20, 30 e 40 g/L) sobre o sistema celular. O MeJA causou um aumento de composto fenólicos no meio extracelular de 105% e de 126% no meio intracelular, em 6 dias. O AS, em 9 dias de indução, aumentou esse compostos em 106,5% e 132,6% no meio extra e intracelular, respectivamente. Em 6 dias obteve-se o melhor tempo de elicitação das proteínas extracelulares com MeJA (81%) e de 9 dias para AS (41%). A presença desses elicitores, em 6 e 9 dias, foram capazes de aumentar a atividade das enzimas fenilalanina amônia liase (FAL) e tirosina amônia liase (TAL) no meio intracelular. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que AS e MeJA podem modular a liberação de compostos fenólicos e proteínas para o meio extracelular, sendo os tempos de 6 e 9 dias os mais eficientes. A suplementação do meio com sacarose contribui para esta liberação, sendo a melhor concentração de sacarose 30 g/L. Portanto, as condições estabelecidas foram eficientes para obtenção da suspensão celular de Bauhinia forficata Link e modulação de compostos fenólicos e proteínas neste sistema. / The medicinal plants have been used as a major source of prevention and treatment of diseases for the poor population in the developing countries. Hypoglycaemic bioactive compounds have been found in leaves, seeds and barks of Bauhinia forficata. The aim for this work was to establish a protocol to obtain the B. forficata cell culture and to product phenolic compounds and proteins with hypoglycaemic activities. The callogenesis induction (maximum response: 77%) was developed using leaves as explants on MS medium supplemented with 1mg/L 2,4-diclorophenoxiacetic acid (2,4-D) and 1mg/L kinetin plus 3% sucrose (w/v). The cell suspension culture was established by transferring an inoculum of fresh callus (2 g) to 40 mL liquid MS medium. The effects of 1 mol/L methyl jasmonate (MeJA) or salicylic acid (AS) in the cell culture, supplemented with sucrose (20, 30 and 40 g/L), was evaluated by monitoring the proteins and phenolic compounds in the extra and intra cellular medium after 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 days. In the extracellular fractions, the best time for phenolic compounds induction in the presence of MeJA (105%) and AS (106.5%) was 6 and 9 days, respectively. In the intracellular fractions, the highest effect was observed 6 days after induction in the presence of MeJA (126%) or AS (132.6%). The best time for protein induction in the extracellular medium was 6 days in the presence of MeJA (81%) and 9 days in the presence of AS (41%). In addition, the activity of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and tyrosine ammonia lyase (TAL) increased in the intracellular medium in the presence of MeJA and AS after 6 and 9 days, respectively. In conclusion, the conditions we used were efficient for obtention of cell suspension culture of B. forficata. MeJA and AS can be used as elicitors of phenolic compounds and protein in this cellular system.

Ad hoc networks have gained significant importance and gathered huge momentum within the wireless network research community. We explore the novel idea of applying ad hoc networking for urban search and rescue operations. Several algorithms have been proposed and implemented for routing in ad hoc networks and their performance have been thoroughly analyzed. But none of the prior work deals specifically for search and rescue operations, which entail certain specific criteria such as prevention of node loss, maximizing the area of coverage and constant and instantaneous access to a main controller. In this thesis, we propose a centralized and adaptive algorithm tailored for efficient performance of mobile nodes assisting in search and rescue operations. The proposed algorithm assists in finding and maintaining stable links between the mobile nodes and base station, while optimizing the area of coverage and energy efficiency of the nodes. The algorithm is implemented using ns (network simulator), and its performance is compared with that of a widely used ad hoc routing protocol, Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol. We use frequency of link breakages, network throughput and routing overhead as our performance metrics. This algorithm can also be extended to provide support for routing among mobile nodes.

High-speed serial input-output (I/O) link has required advanced equalization and modulation techniques to mitigate inter-symbol interference (ISI) caused by multi-Gb/s signaling over band-limited channels. Increasing demands for transceiver power and area complexity has leveraged on-going interest in analog-to-digital converter (ADC) based link, which allows for robust equalization and flexible adaptation to advanced signaling. With diverse options in ISI control techniques, link performance analysis for complicated transceiver architectures is very important. This work presents advanced statistical modeling for ADC-based link, performance comparison of existing modulation and equalization techniques, and proposed hybrid ADC-based receiver that achieves further power saving in digital equalization. Statistical analysis precisely estimates high-speed link margins at given implementation constrains and low target bit-error-rate (BER), typically ranges from 1e-12 to 1e-15, by applying proper statistical bound of noise and distortion. The proposed statistical ADC-based link modeling utilizes bounded probability density function (PDF) of limited quantization distortion (4-6 bits) through digital feed-forward and decision feedback equalizers (FFE-DFE) to improve low target BER estimation. Based on statistical modeling, this work surveys the impact of insufficient equalization, jitter and crosstalk on modulation selection among two and four level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-2 and PAM-4, respectively) and duobinary, and ADC resolution reduction performance by partial analog equalizer (PAE). While the information of channel loss at effective Nyquist frequency and signaling constellation loss initially guides modulation selection, the statistical analysis results show that PAM-4 best tolerates jitter and crosstalk, and duobinary requires the least equalization complexity. Meanwhile, despite robust digital equalization, high-speed ADC complexity and power consumption is still a critical bottleneck, so that PAE is necessitated to reduce ADC resolution requirement. Statistical analysis presents up to 8-bit resolution is required in 12.5Gb/s data communications at 46dB of channel loss without PAE, while 5-bit ADC is enough with 3-tap FFE PAE. For optimal ADC resolution reduction by PAE, digital equalizer complexity also increases to provide enough margin tolerating significant quantization distortion. The proposed hybrid receiver defines unreliable signal thresholds by statistical analysis and selectively takes additional digital equalization to save potentially increasing dynamic power consumption in digital. Simulation results report that the hybrid receiver saves at least 64% of digital equalization power with 3-tap FFE PAE in 12.5Gb/s data rate and up to 46dB loss channels. Finally, this work shows the use of embedded-DFE ADC in the hybrid receiver is limited by error propagation.

No / Greedy and contention-based forwarding schemes were proposed for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) to perform data routing hop-by-hop, without prior discovery of the end-to-end route to the destination. Accordingly, the neighboring node that satisfies specific criteria is selected as the next forwarder of the packet. Both schemes require the nodes participating in the selection process to be within the area that confronts the location of the destination. Therefore, the lifetime of links for such schemes is not only dependent on the transmission range, but also on the location parameters (position, speed and direction) of the sending node and the neighboring node as well as the destination. In this paper, we propose a new link lifetime prediction method for greedy and contention-based routing which can also be utilized as a new stability metric. The evaluation of the proposed method is conducted by the use of stability-based greedy routing algorithm, which selects the next hop node having the highest link stability.

The purpose of this thesis is to develop a PC implemented kinematic synthesis system for four-bar and six-bar planar linkages using Turbo Pascal. CYPRUS is an interactive program that calculates and displays graphically the designed four-bar and six-bar linkages. This package can be used for three and four position synthesis of path generation, path generation with input timing, body guidance, and body guidance with input timing linkages. The package can also be used for function generation linkages where the user may enter a set of angle pairs or choose one of the following functions: tangent, cosine, sine, exponential, logarithmic, and natural logarithmic. The above syntheses can be combined to design linkages that produce more complex motion. For each kinematic synthesis case the code calculates a certain number of solutions. Then the designer chooses the most suitable solution for the particular application at hand. After a mechanism is synthesized, it can be animated for a check of the mechanical action. Watching this animation allows the designer to judge criteria such as clearances, forces, velocities and acceleration of the moving links. The software operates on an IBM PC or any other PC compatible. The language used is Turbo Pascal, an extremely effective tool and one of the fastest high level languages in compilation and execution time. / M.S.
