CONT

The MCS system provides the primary tactical planning tool for the brigade. Supported by graphics decision support tools, including digital maps, aerial or satellite photos, dynamic 3D "flyover" view of the battlespace, and mobility analysis of the terrain, map overlays with intelligence and battle resources by unit. Commanders can quickly and clearly analyze different courses of action and take decisions based on thorough analysis of up-to-date situational assessment, various maneuver schemes, doctrine, and changes encountered during the course of action. Once detailed plan is determined, the MCS prepare and send warning operations orders, and related annexes. During the mission, the system provides automatic updates of friendly/enemy unit movement locations and battlefield geometry. As all information is maintained on the database, re-tasking of units is rapid and flexible. As an integrated part of the battle command systems, MCS receives information from external sources and updates those sources within predetermined operational plans. Such sources include intelligence, fire support, supply status and air operations requests.

CONT

The Block Shipping system is the method used to plan and co-ordinate the weekly movement of grain from prairie elevators to export terminals and to mills and maltsters within Western Canada. The main objective of the system is to support Canada's grain marketing program by ensuring that the right kinds of grain, in the required quantities, are moved into forward positions as efficiently as possible. In achieving this objective, the Wheat Board also must ensure that all farmers in Western Canada are given equitable delivery opportunities.

Le régime de zonage du transport est la méthode employée pour planifier et coordonner le transport du grain hebdomadaire des silos des Prairies vers les silos d'où le grain est exporté et vers les minoteries et les materies de l'Ouest canadien. Le but premier du régime est de servir de support au programme canadien de commercialisation du grain en assurant l'acheminement aussi rapide et efficace que possible des classes de grain voulues et dans les quantités demandées. Tout en poursuivant cet objectif, la Commission canadienne du blé doit aussi voir à répartir équitablement les chances de livraison entre les exploitants agricoles de l'Ouest du Canada.

Air vortex spinning depends on using kinetic energy of a spinning stream of air to the yarn forming inside the specific and immobile vortex... a method of opto-electronic visualisation of motion of yarn in the spinning chamber during the air vortex spinning process will be developed... The optimisation of the spinning process will concern the selection of process parameters and the shape of the spinning chamber and should result in a decrease in the non-uniformity of the number of twists of the yarn obtained and an improvement in its life and service qualities... we plan to work out the method of visualisation of yarn movement in the spinning chamber during the air vortex spinning process... We are going to check the process of vortex spinning for different rows of materials and linear masses of yarn. We would like to reduce the inequalities of torsion number in obtaining yarn.
