The aerospace energy systems laboratory: Hardware and software implementation
For many years NASA Ames Research Center, Dryden Flight Research Facility has employed automation in the servicing of flight critical aircraft batteries. Recently a major upgrade to Dryden's computerized Battery Systems Laboratory was initiated to incorporate distributed processing and a centralized database. The new facility, called the Aerospace Energy Systems Laboratory (AESL), is being mechanized with iAPX86 and iAPX286 hardware running iRMX86. The hardware configuration and software structure for the AESL are described
An automated calibration laboratory for flight research instrumentation: Requirements and a proposed design approach
NASA's Dryden Flight Research Facility (Ames-Dryden), operates a diverse fleet of research aircraft which are heavily instrumented to provide both real time data for in-flight monitoring and recorded data for postflight analysis. Ames-Dryden's existing automated calibration (AUTOCAL) laboratory is a computerized facility which tests aircraft sensors to certify accuracy for anticipated harsh flight environments. Recently, a major AUTOCAL lab upgrade was initiated; the goal of this modernization is to enhance productivity and improve configuration management for both software and test data. The new system will have multiple testing stations employing distributed processing linked by a local area network to a centralized database. The baseline requirements for the new AUTOCAL lab and the design approach being taken for its mechanization are described
The Aerospace Energy Systems Laboratory: A BITBUS networking application
The NASA Ames-Dryden Flight Research Facility developed a computerized aircraft battery servicing facility called the Aerospace Energy Systems Laboratory (AESL). This system employs distributed processing with communications provided by a 2.4-megabit BITBUS local area network. Customized handlers provide real time status, remote command, and file transfer protocols between a central system running the iRMX-II operating system and ten slave stations running the iRMX-I operating system. The hardware configuration and software components required to implement this BITBUS application are required
The 1P quarkonium fine splittings at NLO
We calculate the 1P heavy quarkonium fine splittings at NLO and discuss the
impact of the calculation on the chi_b(1P) splittings.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figure

The three-quark static potential in perturbation theory
We study the three-quark static potential in perturbation theory in QCD. A
complete next-to-leading order calculation is performed in the singlet, octets
and decuplet channels and the potential exponentiation is demonstrated. The
mixing of the octet representations is calculated. At next-to-next-to-leading
order, the subset of diagrams producing three-body forces is identified in
Coulomb gauge and its contribution to the potential calculated. Combining it
with the contribution of the two-body forces, which may be extracted from the
quark-antiquark static potential, we obtain the complete
next-to-next-to-leading order three-quark static potential in the
colour-singlet channel.Comment: 36 pages, 11 figures, version published in Phys.Rev.
