Manipulator system man-machine interface evaluation program
Application and requirements for remote manipulator systems for future space missions were investigated. A manipulator evaluation program was established to study the effects of various systems parameters on operator performance of tasks necessary for remotely manned missions. The program and laboratory facilities are described. Evaluation criteria and philosophy are discussed

Benefits and problems of using head-up displays in commercial and general aviation aircraf
Consideration of radar target glint from ST during OMV rendezvous
The nature of radar target glint and the factors upon which it depends when using the Hubble Space Telescope as a radar target is discussed. An analysis of the glint problem using a 35 MHz or 94 MHz radar on the orbital maneuvering vehicle is explored. A strategy for overcoming glint is suggested

Thermoelectric response of FeTeSe: evidence for strong correlation and low carrier density
We present a study of the Seebeck and Nernst coefficients of
FeTeSe extended up to 28 T. The large magnitude of the
Seebeck coefficient in the optimally doped sample tracks a remarkably low
normalized Fermi temperature, which, like other correlated superconductors, is
only one order of magnitude larger than T. We combine our data with other
experimentally measured coefficients of the system to extract a set of
self-consistent parameters, which identify FeTeSe as a
low-density correlated superconductor barely in the clean limit. The system is
subject to strong superconducting fluctuations with a sizeable vortex Nernst
signal in a wide temperature window.Comment: 4 pages including 4 figure

A study of payload specialist station monitor size constraints
Constraints on the CRT display size for the shuttle orbiter cabin are studied. The viewing requirements placed on these monitors were assumed to involve display of imaged scenes providing visual feedback during payload operations and display of alphanumeric characters. Data on target recognition/resolution, target recognition, and range rate detection by human observers were utilized to determine viewing requirements for imaged scenes. Field-of-view and acuity requirements for a variety of payload operations were obtained along with the necessary detection capability in terms of range-to-target size ratios. The monitor size necessary to meet the acuity requirements was established. An empirical test was conducted to determine required recognition sizes for displayed alphanumeric characters. The results of the test were used to determine the number of characters which could be simultaneously displayed based on the recognition size requirements using the proposed monitor size. A CRT display of 20 x 20 cm is recommended. A portion of the display area is used for displaying imaged scenes and the remaining display area is used for alphanumeric characters pertaining to the displayed scene. The entire display is used for the character alone mode

Earth orbital teleoperator system man-machine interface evaluation
The teleoperator system man-machine interface evaluation develops and implements a program to determine human performance requirements in teleoperator systems
Earth orbital teleoperator visual system evaluation program
Empirical tests of range estimation accuracy and resolution, via television, under monoptic and steroptic viewing conditions are discussed. Test data are used to derive man machine interface requirements and make design decisions for an orbital remote manipulator system. Remote manipulator system visual tasks are given and the effects of system parameters of these tasks are evaluated
