Environment Canada has been making use of automated surface weather observation systems since 1969, with the installation of the MARS I(Meteorological Automatic Reporting System) generation of autostations. MARS II followed in 1975, MAPS I(Modular Acquisition Processing System) in 1979 and MAPS II in 1983. In general, these autostations observe and transmit only the basic weather parameters of pressure, temperature, humidity, and wind speed and direction, although a few have the capability to report cloud, visibility, and precipitation accumulation. 1, record 1, English, - Modular%20Acquisition%20Processing%20System

Environnement Canada exploite des systèmes automatiques d'observation météorologique en surface depuis 1969, soit depuis l'avènement de la génération de stations automatiques MARS I (Meteorological Automatic Reporting System). Puis ont succédé les MARS II en 1975, les MAPS I (Modular Acquisition Processing System) en 1979 et les MAPS II en 1983. En général, ces stations automatiques mesurent et transmettent seulement les paramètres météorologiques de base (pression, température, humidité, vitesse et direction du vent), mais certaines peuvent observer la nébulosité, la visibilité et la hauteur des précipitations. 2, record 1, French, - Modular%20Acquisition%20Processing%20System

A computer system designed at Carnegie Mellon University, to provide reliable real-time computing with software transparency to the fault-tolerant aspects. The basic design is modular, and it includes power distribution so that parts of the system can be serviced while the rest of the system is in operation(Fig. 10. 21). The processors are each DEC LSI-11s with voting logic which votes on all processor accesses to the bus. 1, record 3, English, - voting%20system

An experimental system that uses off-the-shelf microcomputers in a triplicated configuration with voting to achieve reliability with both permanent and transient faults. This system was designed at Carnegie-Mellon University by Siewiorek et al. to provide reliable real time computing with software transparency to the fault tolerant aspects of the system. The basic design is modular, and it includes power distribution so that parts of the system can be serviced while the rest of the system is in operation. The processors are each DEC LSI-IIs with voting Logic, which votes on all processor accesses to the bus. The system can also operate with each processor working separately and interprocessor communications taking place via the full duplex single-word parallel interfaces. 1, record 4, English, - Computer%20Voted%20Multiprocessor
