Computerized Station For Semi-Automated Testing Image Intensifier Tubes

Compputerized Station for Semi-automated Testing Image Intensifier Tubes

Testing of image intensifier tubes is still done using mostly manual methods due to a series of both technical and legal problems with test automation. Computerized stations for semi-automated testing of IITs are considered as novelty and are under continuous improvements. This paper presents a novel test station that enables semiautomated measurement of image intensifier tubes. Wide test capab...

Introduction to Image Intensifier Tubes

An image ultraviolet, visible light, or near infrared is projected onto the transparent window of the vacuum tube as shown in Fig. 1. The vacuum side of this window carries a sensitive layer called the photocathode. Light radiation causes the emission of electrons from the photocathode into the vacuum which are then accelerated by an applied DC voltage towards a luminescent screen (phosphor scr...

Cost Function Modelling for Semi-automated SC, RTG and Automated and Semi-automated RMG Container Yard Operating Systems

This study analyses the concept of cost functions for semi-automated Straddle Carrier (SC), Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) and automated Rail Mounted Gantry (RMG) container yard operating cranes. It develops a generic cost based model for a pair-wise comparison, analysis and evaluation of economic efficiency and effectiveness of container yard equipment to be used for decision-making by terminal pla...

Memo workbench for semi-automated usability testing

In this paper we present a new approach to the automation of usability evaluation for interactive systems. Design ideas or complete systems are modeled as a conditional state machine. Then, user interactions with the system are simulated on the basis of tasks, by first searching for possible solution paths and then generating deviations from these paths under consideration of user groups and sy...
