Automation of cutting and drilling of composite components
The task was to develop a preliminary plan for an automated system for the cutting and drilling of advanced aerospace composite components. The goal was to automate the production of these components, but the technology developed can be readily extended to other systems. There is an excellent opportunity for developing a state of the art automated system for the cutting and drilling of large composite components at NASA-Marshall. Most of the major system components are in place: the robot, the water jet pump, and the off-line programming system. The drilling system and the part location system are the only major components that need to be developed. Also, another water jet nozzle and a small amount of high pressure plumbing need to be purchased from, and installed
An Analysis of Compressive Convolutional Autoencoders for Image Archiving In Medical Informatics
Within a given enterprise network, an array of data types needs to be communicated. These network transmissions consist of images, videos, text, and binaries that have unique requirements of bandwidth and computational overhead to transmit. With respect to medical informatics, these include a multitude of varying subjects, standards, and modalities which are communicated to and from imaging equipment, clinicians, and medical archives. To reduce the required bandwidth to transmit, or provide adequate storage capacity for archival purposes, the data may be compressed in such a way that reduces the size of the image when it is transferred or stored. The original data may be reconstructed either completely or to an acceptable degree of completeness using lossy or lossless compression strategies. The scope of this inquiry is to define ways in which convolutional compressive autoencoders may be used for lossy compression. Multiple approaches will be identified and introduced to define their respective optimal datasets, along with their tuned hyperparameters
