DESIGN OF A DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM BASED ON THE DECOMMUTATION OF AN EMBEDDED ASYNCHRONOUS DATA STREAM WITHOUT PRIMARY AND SECONDARY FRAME SYNCHRONIZATION
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / November 04-07, 1991 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, NevadaThe use of embedded asynchronous data streams is becoming a popular means of expanding existing telemetry systems and acquiring subsystem data. In such systems, synchronization between the primary and secondary system(s) clocks is usually considered a prerequisite. The Phillips Laboratory has developed a software/hardware approach to the problem of decommutating an embedded asynchronous data stream without primary and secondary frame and clock synchronization. The methodology employed is easily implemented and adapted to many system configurations, and represents a low-cost option in the acquisition of subsystem data. More importantly, the use of such a system greatly reduces the amount of systems integration effort required to incorporate multiple subsystems into a host telemetry system.International Foundation for TelemeteringProceedings from the International Telemetering Conference are made available by the International Foundation for Telemetering and the University of Arizona Libraries.

Moisture susceptibility of Nano-sized Hydrated Lime-modified foamed Warm Mix Asphalt mixes
Despite the obvious benefits of Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) technologies are stealing the spotlight from classic Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA), there are concerns regarding moisture susceptibility of the mixes especially when it comes to the technologies that mainly depend on applying water (i.e., foaming). The primary objective of the research was to investigate the moisture susceptibility of foamed WMA mixes modified with Nanosized Hydrated Lime (NHL). Hydrated lime materials in this study included, NHL with particle sizes of 50-nm and 100-nm along with Regular-sized Hydrated Lime (RHL). The Tensile Strength Ratio (TSR) and dynamic modulus (|E*|) tests were employed to accomplish this objective. A secondary objective of this research was to assess the validity of the two utilized TSR and |E*| tests. The |E*| samples passed one and five freeze- Thaw cycling processes before each testing. The TSR and |E*| results revealed that foamed WMA mixes are more susceptible to moisture damage in comparison to the control mix. Also, the NHLmodified mixes performed much better than the RHL for both unconditioned and after multiple conditioning. The |E*| test seems more reasonable than the TSR test for moisture susceptibility testing. © 2014 Taylor & Francis Group, London
