چکیده

Previous research indicates that as much as 90% of aircraft inspection is visual. Hence, where inspectors look is critical, potentially impacting inspection performance. Moreover, it has been shown that there are vast differences in performance between experienced and novice inspectors. Training on the task leads to superior coverage of the search area, better detection of defects, and improved efficiency and effectiveness. Providing this training, thereby improving the performance of novice inspectors, is the primary focus of this study. The research describes the virtual reality inspection environment and studies currently underway at the Advanced Technology Systems Laboratory (ATSL) at Clemson University in South Carolina. The studies funded by NASA are focused on evaluating alternate feedback and feedforward training strategies in improving aircraft inspection performance.

On the Practical Aspects of Joint Passive Phase Conjugation and Equalization Underwater Communication Systems

Underwater acoustic communication systems suffer from the channel impairments which results in time spreading of the transmitted signal. In underwater environment, multiple replicas of the transmitted signal are received at the receiver through different paths, which causes significant Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI). Decision Feedback Equalizers (DFE) was utilized to overcome this type of inte...
