Stottler Henke, in conjunction with the US Navy, has developed and deployed a flexible, low-cost PChosted desktop crew trainer for the Navy’s new MH-60S and MH-60R helicopters: Operator Machine Interface Assistant (OMIA). OMIA is currently in use by HSC-2, HSC-3 and HSM-41. This paper emphasizes some of the flexible, low-cost, rapid development methods used to reach the present deployment and a...

In the marine gear system, vibration of gears is transmitted to ship foundation through shafts, bearings, housing, and isolators, then underwater noise generated. Analyzing transfer properties identifying critical path can provide guidance low-noise design system. this paper, a coupled gear-housing-foundation dynamic model proposed for flexible supported in which flexibility each subsystem coup...

This study investigates the vibration power flow behavior and performance of inerter-based isolators mounted on finite infinite flexible beam structures. Two configurations with spring, damper, inerter as well different rigidities foundation structures are considered. Both time-averaged transmission force transmissibility studied used indices to evaluate isolation performance. Comparisons made ...

Millions of people are continue to die each year from HIV/AIDS. The majority of infected persons (>95%) live in the developing world. A worthy response to this pandemic will require coordinated, scalable, and flexible information systems. We describe the OpenMRS system, an open source, collaborative effort that can serve as a foundation for EMR development in developing countries. We report our...

Business processes form the foundation for all organizations, and as such, are impacted by industry regulations. Without explicit business process definitions, flexible rules frameworks, and audit trails that provide for non-repudiation, organizations face litigation risks. This requires organizations to review their business processes and ensure that they meet the compliance standards set fort...

A number of reference models have been proposed to facilitate the development of electronic commerce systems and applications. A comparative analysis of existing models should be the first step in selecting the right foundation for the system being developed. This paper presents some results of an analysis of four among the well known reference models for electronic commerce, primarily from the...

The use of wind turbines to generate electricity has increased in recent years. One of the most important parts of a wind turbine is the foundation, which should be designed accurately because it is influenced by difference forces. Soil cannot carry tension stress; thus, when a wind turbine foundation is applied eccentricity forces, a gap appears between the soil and foundation. The gap will ha...

This Research Programme is curerntly funded by the ESRC (Project Number R000236776Social exclusion or flexible adaptation coal districts in a period of economic transformation) and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (Project Number 150233 – Rural Areas Learning from the Coalfields? Economic Regeneration, Social Exclusion and Integration) 1999 Cardiff University is the public name of the University ...

INTRODUCTION Interaction techniques for Augmented Reality user interfaces (UIs) differ considerably from well explored 2D UIs, because these include new input and output devices and new interaction metaphors such as tangible interaction. For experimenting with new devices and metaphors we propose a flexible and lightweight UI framework that supports rapid prototyping of multimodal and collabora...

We describe a new methodology for analyzing Internet traffic based on an abstract model of application-level communication and statistical cluster analysis, and argue that this method of analysis can serve as a foundation for building flexible traffic generation tools. We present the details of two case studies in which the new analysis tools are applied to data from the University of North Car...
