A new design for an immersive ground control station is presented that allows operators to monitor and control one or more semi-autonomous unmanned remote vehicles. This new ground station utilizes a virtual reality based visualization of the operational space and the graphical representation of multiple information streams to create a comprehensive immersive environment designed to significant...

Introduction Conclusions References

Simulation of a manufacturing cell requires the different kinds of simulation models of manufacturing stations that constitute the cell. However, a commercial station simulator only gives simulation mechanism for a limited kind of station, and its simulation model is fixed to the engineer. On the other hand, it is inefficient for the engineer to develop the dedicated simulation model and mechan...

Perhaps the most critical structural system aboard the Space Station is the Solar Alpha Rotary Joint which helps align the power generation system with the sun (Figure 1). The joint must provide structural support and controlled rotation to the outboard transverse booms as well as power and data transfer across the joint. The Solar Alpha Rotary Joint is composed of two transition sections and a...

This paper will give an overview about the Transportable Optical Ground Station (TOGS) of DLR’s Institute of Communications and Navigation. Furthermore, a short description of its project involvement will be given. OCIS codes: (060.4510) Optical communications; (200.2605) Free-space optical communication

1754 INSIGHTS | The Journal of Experimental Medicine The establishment of complex behaviors, memory, and language has long fascinated humanity. It is, after all, what makes us human. Understanding this complexity presents one of the most significant challenges in biomedical research. Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a group of neurodevelopmental disorders often characterized by repetitive a...

Most recent work on reasoning with cases in law has taken the style of reasoning used in the CATO system as its model, and uses the notion of factors, as found in that system. Fundamental to CATO, a successor the HYPO system, were factors, which are closely related to HYPO-style dimensions. In this paper, we will argue that the simplification involved in using factors, while it has proved pragm...

Despite the tremendous development in CNC programming facilities, linear and circular cuts parallel to the coordinate planes continue to be the standard motions of modern CNC machines. However, the increasing industrial demand for parts with intricate shapes cannot be satisfied with only these standard motions. The proportion of parts which are not covered by the standard CNC motions is certain...
