Design, Implementation and Testing of the Map Radiometers
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Microwave Anisotropy Probe (MAP) satellite, launched June 30, 2001, will produce full sky maps of the cosmic microwave background radiation in 5 frequency bands spanning 20 106 GHz. MAP contains 20 differential radiometers built with High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) amplifiers with passively cooled input stages. The design and test techniques used to evaluate and minimize systematic errors and the pre-launch performance of the radiometers for all five bands are presented. Subject headings: cosmology: cosmic microwave background—instrumentation: detectors—space vehicles: instruments

An automatic test case generator for evaluating implementation of access control policies
One of the main requirements for providing software security is the enforcement of access control policies which aim to protect resources of the system against unauthorized accesses. Any error in the implementation of such policies may lead to undesirable outcomes. For testing the implementation of access control policies, it is preferred to use automated methods which are faster and more relia...

متن کاملDesign, Implementation and Preliminary Testing of a Novel Orthosis for Reducing Erector Spinae Muscle Activity, and Improving Balance Control for Hyperkyphotic Elderly Subjects
Background: Aging often results in thoracic kyphosis and adverse postural changes. This may interfere with physiologic activity of paraspinal muscles. Few styles of spinal orthosis have been already used to reduce thoracic kyphosis. This paper describes the development of a novel orthosis, which is designed based on the anatomy of the back muscles. This novel orthosis may potentiate muscle acti...
