... the method may receive, via a computer, personal health data generated by a sensor that monitors a current personal health condition of the individual insurance policy holder over the specified time period. In response to receiving the personal health data generated by the sensor, the method may provide via a computer, an indication of an incentive to the individual insurance policy holder. The method may then determine, via a computer, if the target goal has been achieved by analyzing the received personal health data and baseline personal health data to determine whether the baseline personal health condition of the individual insurance policy holder has been improved or maintained by the current personal health condition of the individual insurance policy holder over the specified time period.

Subject field(s)
  • Advanced Technology Weapons
  • Radio Waves
  • Electronic Warfare
DEF

A type of DEW [directed-energy weapon] that uses RF [radio-frequency] energy to upset or damage the electronics of a target.

CONT

RF weapons are usually divided into two categories: high power microwave (HPM) weapons and ultrawideband (UWB) (or video pulse) weapons.

CONT

The primary distinction between RF weapons and more conventional EW systems is that RF weapons actually affect the electronics and not just the electronic environment, thereby causing temporary or permanent electronics failure that persists even after the RF beam has been turned off. RF weapons will mainly target receiver systems with in-band HPM [high-power microwave] radiation or computer systems with ultrawideband impulses.

CONT

In a radio-frequency weapon, electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths similar to that of radar is aimed at a target by means of an antenna. The principal effect would be to damage or destroy the electronic circuits of a missile.

OBS

deconvolution microscope : using the deconvolution microscope, researchers can see the locations of target molecules inside the cell. Seeing where glowing molecules reside within a cell is helpful for a range of research projects--from studies of how the distribution of various proteins changes during an organism's development to investigations of how administration of a drug alters the locations of certain proteins. The microscope, called DeltaVision, is manufactured by Applied Precision, based in Issaquah, Wash. It works by magnifying images and quantifying the intensity of light shed by the sample. The user specifies which colors of light are of interest. For instance, a user can program the microscope to report the intensity of a particular shade of green shining from the cytoplasm of a cell. After a researcher uses the microscope to make a series of optical slices through a specimen, the scope's computer "deconvolves" the images--in other words, it subtracts the out-of-focus light. Then the computer stacks together the images of the slices to reconstruct the original microscope sample. This gives researchers gh-resolution images of the sample's three-dimensional structure.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Programs and Programming
DEF

A computer program used to simulate the execution characteristics of a target computer using a sequence of instructions of a host computer. The instruction simulator provides bit-for-bit fidelity with the results that would be produced by the target computer following the same operations and initial conditions. Instruction simulators are a major tool used in the verification and validation of flight software.

Technical fire control is the computation of the actual gun firing data. It takes account of shell/fuze characteristics, met(eorological) readings, etc., and includes a simulated trajectory which is automatically corrected onto the target within the computer.

OBS

This control is in the TACFIRE (Tactical Fire direction) system.

CONT

Le programme de direction technique du tir permet de traiter les éléments d'exécution du tir. Le processus d'élaboration tient compte des caractéristiques de l'obus et de la fusée, des éléments aérologiques, etc. Le calculateur établit une trajectoire fictive qu'il corrige automatiquement pour obtenir une intersection avec l'objectif.

An alternative fit to the gyro gunsight is a Head-Up Display and an associated weapons computer. This system fills four functions : Air-to-ground weapons computing in Continuously Computed Impact Point(CCIP) mode; Air-to-air cannon firing in Lead computed Gun Sight(LCGS) mode for two selectable ranges and adjustable target wing-spans; Emergency mode with manual depression; Navigation mode, depending on navigation system fitted.
