Pilot production is a stage in the development of new processes and the launching of new products. In process development it is an intermediate between laboratory-bench experiments and full-scale production and serves to refine the design of the equipment and to provide operating experience. In a product launch, pilot production serves to resolve marketing uncertainties by producing a quantity sufficient for test marketing. 2, record 2, English, - pilot%20production

Recent work on the perspective display allows computer graphics systems to simulate planned spacecraft maneuvers, allowing pilots to visualize the consequences of a variety of orbital changes.... Up to now, spacecraft maneuvers, even close-in rendezvous, have been very formal, requiring elaborate planning. We’re developing a system that lets you conduct orbital change maneuvers on an informal, short-term basis... The perspective display is now in use at Ames in a full-scale research mock-up of a proximity operations control center for the Space Station.

In BRI's laboratory for building foundation and soils, full-scale testing for soil dynamics is performed. A large-scale, shear soil layer box(5 m x 4 m x 10 m) is equipped in five large pits 6 m below ground to reproduce vibration of the ground during an earthquake. A test for rainfall is conducted in this laboratory using an artificial rainfall apparatus with an intensity up to 150 mm/h that addresses soil pressure during rainfall. In the wind and rain test laboratory, experiments are conducted on the effects of wind on buildings, the waterproof performance of finishes, and the air-flow characteristics in and around buildings. 4, record 4, English, - artificial%20rainfall
