Les microsystèmes sont les milieux de vie immédiats dans lesquels l'individu joue un rôle actif. Ces milieux se caractérisent par un patron d'activités, de rôles et de relations interpersonnelles et possèdent des caractéristiques physiques et matérielles particulières. La maison, l'école et la garderie en sont des exemples.

Subject field(s)
  • Spacecraft
CONT

The micro-WIS (Micro Wireless Instrumentation System) consists of tiny autonomous sensors for data acquisition ... This HTD [Head-of-Train Telemetry Device] is designed to demonstrate the micro-WIS transmitter and recorder. One of the objectives of this HTD is to obtain meaningful real-time measurements for use in the orbiter's Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) operations. The micro-WIS transmitter's simultaneous real-time measurements of air cabin temperatures in many interior compartments of the orbiter will help ECLSS operations personnel address issues encountered on STS-88 and early International Space Station flights. Currently, only one temperature reading in the aft flight deck of the orbiter is available for adjusting model predictions for real-time environments. Micro-WIS will also reduce the time it takes the crew to obtain on-orbit temperature measurements and will increase the capability to monitor temperatures over long periods. ... Micro-WIS data will also be used to validate cabin air temperature models that are used to make critical predictions of the dew point on early ISS [International Space Station] missions, which is important because orbiter cabin air exerts a significant influence on the entire station volume. Although the physical configuration of the air ducts in the orbiter cabin has been changed significantly, the sensors have remained the same and some temperature data has never been available.

OBS

Record 8 1992-01-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Hardware
CONT

microprocessor system organisation: although a specific system may be configured in a variety of ways from the available modules, the central processor module and the memory modules are basic to almost any configuration.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Matériel informatique
CONT

La grande puissance de traitement offerte par le microprocesseur rend possible des services non envisageables en logique câblée. Cela amène à attribuer aux microsystèmes des fonctions de plus en plus nombreuses et complexes qui se traduisent par des logiciels de plus en plus volumineux et délicats.
