Subject field(s)
  • Cheese and Dairy Products
  • Beverages
CONT

"Our success with orange juice has created an opportunity to apply the technology to less acidic fruit and vegetable juices. In addition, we see a growing trend in dairy-based foods which will also benefit from Better Than Fresh TM processing. "Carbon dioxide has been used for years to extend the shelf life of dairy products such as cottage cheese when trace amounts are sparged into product. Praxair's recent testing with its dense-phase CO2 system is producing consistent results including the finding that with the dense-phase CO2 process, the number of spoilage microorganisms is greatly reduced allowing for extended shelf life without subjecting product to detrimental levels of heat in thermal pasteurization.

The High Resolution Dynamics Limb Scanner(HIRDLS) experiment is a 21 channel limb scanning infrared radiometer being developed for flight on the Earth Observing System(EOS) Chemistry mission. It will measure radiation emitted by Earth's atmosphere viewed at the limb. These radiance measurements will be inverted to give the vertical distributions of temperature and 10 trace gases, including water vapour, methane, while correcting for interfering aerosols, with 1 km vertical resolution, from 8 to 80 km altitude.

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
  • Law of Evidence
CONT

Trace evidence in the form of semen, blood, or even a single hair can prove useful even in the absence of a suspect. DNA evidence, once useless without a comparison standard, has been taken to a new level. The Combined DNA Index System-(CODIS) was established by the Federal Bureau of Investigation--(FBI) to assist in cases that have no suspect, link serial crimes occurring across state lines, and to identify and prosecute repeat offenders.

  • Génétique

Le FBI (Bureau fédéral d'investigation) dispose depuis octobre 1998 d'un gigantesque système de gestion de profils d'ADN de délinquants, le CODIS (Combined DNA index system). Il intègre les données stockées depuis des années à l'échelon des villes, des États et finalement au niveau fédéral dans un répertoire national [...]. Actuellement, les différents répertoires d'ADN réunis dans le CODIS contiendraient plus de 250 000 profils génétiques, dont les empreintes de délinquants condamnés, de victimes, et des ADN d'origine inconnue collectés au cours des enquêtes.

Record 10 2001-08-21

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
  • Navigation Instruments
DEF

A linear accelerometer using a single-degree-of-freedom gyro having a pendulosity along the spin axis that is servo-driven about the input axis at a rate that balances the torque induced by sensed acceleration along the input axis. The angle through which the servoed axis rotates is proportional to the integral of the sensed acceleration.

CONT

The intercontinental ballistic missiles(ICBM) and submarine-launched ballistic missiles(SLBM) developed over the past 50 years have employed successive generations of increasingly accurate inertial guidance systems. The comparatively short time of guided flight and high acceleration levels characteristic of the ballistic missile application place a premium on accelerometer performance to achieve desired weapon system accuracy. To date, the accelerometer design of choice for strategic missiles has been the Pendulous Integrating Gyroscopic Accelerometer(PIGA) instrument, an accelerometer whose origins trace back to the German V2 rocket, and has been refined through several generations of development to achieve unsurpassed performance.

DEF

An instructional system such as the Quadratic tutor, capable of refining its knowledge by evaluating its own performance and improving its domain knowledge and teaching strategies.

CONT

If the student's approach leads to a better solution than the trace stored in the expert's archive, the system adopts the student's solution as its standard : hence the label of self-improving sometimes given this tutor.

CONT

Although it is not presented as a self-improving system, Self’s program contrasts with O’Shea’s in that the tutor has access to a formal learning model.

TAGA. The Trace Atmospheric Gas Analyser was developed at the University of Toronto and SCIEX Ltd. The device uses a quadrapole mass spectrometer in continuous operational mode. System sensitivity is high(ppt levels), selectivity for various pollutants is good, and can be used in a mobile environment. EPS is evaluating the device for a monitoring role. The system is quite expensive(well over $100, 000) and requires a high level of expertise to operate. Because of its price it will probably be limited to use by organizations conducting large atmospheric surveys.
