The purpose of this paper is to compare two different automatic code generating software tools and the suitability of each for the development of safety-critical real-time software systems. The tools used are Rhapsody and SCADE for Avionics. Rhapsody will generate software under ANSI C++ standards and guidelines, while SCADE for Avionics will produce DO-178B certifiable ANSI C++ software. A sim...

The aim of this study was to investigate pre-service physical education teachers’ self-assessment of their competent levels in achieving the national standards for beginning physical education teachers (National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE), 1995). One hundred seventy–three pre-service teachers in 10 physical education teacher education programs completed the Achieving t...

This paper provides an overview of the stand­ ards activity of the American National Standards Institute 05 Committee on Wood Poles. Its primary focus is the ANSI 05.1 standard for round poles. The factors addressed by this standard are sum­ marized, and the standard is compared to other standards related to the production and structural use of round timbers.

Time for a Change For many years, the U.S. system of gear accuracy tolerances has been provided by AGMA 2000-A88, Gear Classification and Inspection Handbook. This document has been commonly used for gear accuracy specifications in contractual agreements for vendor-supplied gears. Also, it has often been used as the basis of internal company gear tolerance systems. The material within AGMA 2000...

This article describes the ANSI/NIST-ITL standard: its origin, contents, and how it is used and updated. It is the principal standard used for the formatting and encoding of biometric data and related textual information for law enforcement, homeland security, and military applications throughout the world. The first version of the standard appeared in 1986, and it has been updated several time...

This paper presents a methodology which enables the generation of C62x optimized fixed-point C-code from a floating-point description of an algorithm. The FRIDGE design environment transforms floating-point ANSI-C code with local fixed-point annotations into an internal bit-true representation. From this representation we generate C62x optimized integer C code utilizing the code transformation ...

Metal organic framework (MOF) is one of extraordinary materials in many technical field applications. One them as CO2 gas adsorbent. We studied, synthesized, and characterized Copper-based material, known frameworks (MOFs), using a solvothermal-based modification method. Copper salt (Cu (NO3)2. 3H2O) benzene dicarboxylic acid (H2BDC) were mixed then heated an oven at 120°C, to produce low impur...

The SpecC Language Reference Manual defines the syntax and the semantics of the SpecC language. The SpecC language is defined as extension of the ANSI-C programming language. This document describes the SpecC constructs that were added to the ANSI-C language. For each SpecC construct, its purpose, its syntax, and its semantics are defined. In addition, each SpecC construct is illustrated by an ...
