Advanced Transport Operating System (ATOPS) Flight Management/Flight Controls (FM/FC) software description

The flight software developed for the Flight Management/Flight Controls (FM/FC) MicroVAX computer used on the Transport Systems Research Vehicle for Advanced Transport Operating Systems (ATOPS) research is described. The FM/FC software computes navigation position estimates, guidance commands, and those commands issued to the control surfaces to direct the aircraft in flight. Various modes of flight are provided for, ranging from computer assisted manual modes to fully automatic modes including automatic landing. A high-level system overview as well as a description of each software module comprising the system is provided. Digital systems diagrams are included for each major flight control component and selected flight management functions

Advanced transport operating system software upgrade: Flight management/flight controls software description

The Flight Management/Flight Controls (FM/FC) software for the Norden 2 (PDP-11/70M) computer installed on the NASA 737 aircraft is described. The software computes the navigation position estimates, guidance commands, those commands to be issued to the control surfaces to direct the aircraft in flight based on the modes selected on the Advanced Guidance Control System (AGSC) mode panel, and the flight path selected via the Navigation Control/Display Unit (NCDU)

Advanced Transport Operating System (ATOPS) utility library software description

The individual software processes used in the flight computers on-board the Advanced Transport Operating System (ATOPS) aircraft have many common functional elements. A library of commonly used software modules was created for general uses among the processes. The library includes modules for mathematical computations, data formatting, system database interfacing, and condition handling. The modules available in the library and their associated calling requirements are described

From mesoscale to nanoscale mechanics in single-wall carbon nanotubes

The experimental work was carried out in collaboration with W. Wenseleers and S. Cambré at the University of Antwerp, Belgium. The computational results presented have been achieved in part using the Vienna Scientific Cluster (VSC). DJD is grateful for support from the Region Rhône-Alpes through the programme “Accueil-PRO 2014” and from the iMUST Labex programme “Mobility in 2015”. ACTD, TFTC, WC, MALM, SB, DM and ASM acknowledge support from the French Agence Nationale de la Recherche through contract ANR-11-NANO-025 “TRI-CO”. ACTD acknowledges postdoctoral grant from Brazilian Ministry of Education (CAPES)

Copy of Cabinet Card of Edgar Allan Poe by Barnett Clinedinst

From sleeve: Copy of cabinet card by Clinedinst which itself is most likely a copy photo of a daguerreotype.This photograph shows a copy of a cabinet card by Clinedinst that features a portrait of Edgar Allan Poe. The portrait fatures Poe's head and upper body. Poe has a small mustache and is looking directly at the viewer. He is wearing a darkly colored suit jacked and vest, along with a dark necktie and a white shirt. The top portion of the name Clinedinst is visible at the bottom of the cabinet card
