AUTOMATED STRUCTURAL TESTING USING MICROCOMPUTER SYSTEM

A microcomputer automated recording spectropolarimeter

MANY analytical laboratories have available minicomputers or microcomputer systems which routinely find use for data analysis. Recent trends have been toward applying computers not only for computational capabilities, but also for on-line control and data .acquisition from actual analytical instru-mentation. Numerous analytical instruments are being designed to incorporate a computer system as ...

Automated System for Crack Detection Using Infrared Thermographic Testing

The objective of this study was the development of the automated system for crack detection on square steel bars used in the automotive industry for axle and shaft construction. The automated system for thermographic crack detection uses brief pulsed eddy currents to heat steel components under inspection. Cracks, if present, will disturb the current flow and so generate changes in the temperat...

A Microcomputer-Based Conducting System

The subject of this paper is a portable, microcomputer-based performance system that we call the conduct system.1 This system was developed at the University of Toronto as part of the research of the Structured Sound Synthesis Project (SSSP) (Buxton, Fogels, Fedorkow and Smith 1978). The system, built around a microprocessor controlling a digital sound synthesizer, had its genesis in the earlie...
