The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is developing a 5 12~640-format, dual broadband, Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector (QWIP) focal plane array (ITA) for an imaging interferometer. This is a new type of imaging interferometer which is based on special Fourier-transform spectroscopy, scans interferograms digitally without moving any optical components. It is stable enough to measure fluctuatin...

Partially automated driving is expected to increase traffic efficiency. However, automation causes human factors concerns. One concern is the reduced operability during transitions between automation level, e.g. when failures occur. These concerns ask for a more justifiable implementation of automation for automobile appliances. As a first step towards applicable solutions for driver support, w...

This paper treats distributed audio-video sharing mechanisms for the development of network 3D games. Especially the authors propose the concept of the copy-and-transfer operation. This concept is that making a copy of a visible, manually operable software component and transferring it to another computer enable users to share it. If a facility that manages audio or video data is realized as su...

The number of bioprocesses for the circular economy organic waste has grown in recent years. Implementation new processes and technologies should consider occupational health safety issues from initial design stages. Among process hazards analysis techniques, HAZard OPerability (HAZOP) methodology is widely used studying both process’s their operability problems, by exploring effects any deviat...

The Ergonomic tridimensional analysis (ETdA) was developed to be used as an auxiliary tool on the ergonomic intervention. It was specially designed for commercial areas with free circulation of people. Due to that, the client, the third ETdA dimension, becomes an important element and their opinions relevant in the ergonomic analysis. The remains two ETdA dimensions, professionals and analyst, ...
