ULTIMATE CONTROL [14 records]

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Property Law (common law)
CONT

A lease may be defined as a grant of the right to possession of the leased premises for a specified period of time commencing either immediately or at some ascertainable date in the future and ending at some point thereafter. A transaction is characterized as a lease rather than a grant when the owner or the grantor of the interest retains a "reversionary interest". In other words, possession of the leased premises reverts to the lessor on the termination of the lease. In order for the transaction to be characterized as a lease rather than a licence, the lessee's possession of the leased premises must be exclusive. If ultimate possession and control remain with the lessor, a licence rather than a lease will exist....("Real Estate and Landlord and Tenant", 1983-1984, p. 334)

The project is named the Autonomous Space Processor for Orbital Debris(ASPOD) and is a NASA/Universities Space Research Association(USRA) sponsored design project. The development of ASPOD and the students’ abilities in designing and building a prototype spacecraft are the ultimate goals of this project. This year's focus entailed the development of a secondary robotic arm and end-effector to work in tandem with an existent arm in the removal of orbital debris. The new arm features the introduction of composite materials and a linear drive system, thus producing a light-weight and more accurate prototype. The main characteristic of the end-effector design is that it incorporates all of the motors and gearing internally, thus not subjecting them to the harsh space environment. Furthermore, the arm and the end-effector are automated by a control system with positional feedback. This system is composed of magnetic and optical encoders connected to a 486 PC via two servo-motor controller cards. Programming a series of basic routines and sub-routines has allowed the ASPOD prototype to become more autonomous. The new system is expected to perform specified tasks with a positional accuracy of 0. 5 cm.

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric Physics

DEF

An effect produced by the movement of masses of air with different refractive indices, which is most easily seen in the twinkling of stars.

CONT

"The resolution of a satellite image of the earth depends on the height of the satellite’s orbit and the quality of the recording equipment," says Steve Drury, an expert on satellite imaging. "The lower the orbit and the better the equipment, the clearer and more detailed the image will be. But every image is affected by atmospheric shimmer, caused by the movement of hot and cold currents of air in the atmosphere. Because different air currents have different refractive indices, the light travelling through them is bent slightly, so the image that the satellite receives is out of focus and blurred." The most obvious effect of atmospheric shimmer (or turbulence) that we can see from earth is the twinkling of stars. Light from stars is blurred as it passes through the earth’s atmosphere.

CONT

During the day, atmospheric boil or shimmer, causes distant objects to appear with fluctuating distortions.

OBS

Shimmer results in blurring on remotely sensed images, and is the ultimate control over the resolution of any system.

Toutefois, le scintillement, ainsi que d'autres effets atmosphériques, sont des problèmes sérieux pour les astronomes lorsqu'ils travaillent. Les images stellaires, lorsqu'elles sont vues à travers un télescope, semblent danser et être affectées par toutes sortes de distorsions, créant ainsi des images floues. Afin d'obtenir des images plus nettes, et par le fait même extraire plus d'information de leurs observations, des astronomes et des ingénieurs ont joint leurs efforts dans le but de développer des appareils innovateurs pouvant corriger les effets atmosphériques en temps réel.

  • Water Treatment (Water Supply)
CONT

The San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant(Plant)... Over the past several years, the service area population of the Plant has grown significantly. The total dry-weather influent volume from ultimate build-out of the Plant's service area is projected to be 180 million gallons per day(mgd), which is the recommended value for setting aside land required for ultimate wastewater treatment capacity for the future. Wet weather peak flow capacity issues will require additional land be set aside.

CONT

Continued growth in the Mendenhall and Lemon Creek Valleys required new wastewater collection systems. Ten new pumping stations and associated interceptor sewers were added to carry wastewater to the ABF Facility. Development continued and 1982, the ABF Facility was treating 2.0 mgd daily and was again over design capacity during wet weather peak flow periods with influent flows of 4.0+ mgd. Correction of inflow and infiltration (1 and 1) in the collection system began. However, an expansion of treatment capacity was required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reduce the numerous discharge permit violations.

CONT

Masks for printed or microcircuitry work can be prepared by simple techniques such as knife cutting, or by means of sophisticated systems. For both printed and integrated-circuit work, the original circuit layout is the starting point. Then, means for generating the pattern, reproduction, and mask making must be devised. Photomask making for integrated circuit production required far more precision, accuracy, and resolution than does the printed circuit manufacturing process. Whereas printed circuits require careful design and production attention in X and Y dimensions, IC production introduces the third dimension, Z. ICs consist of several layers which must register one with the other to a precision of better than 10 um(250 nm). To provide geometries of the order of one or two microns, very-high-resolution optics are necessary. Because integrated circuits are very susceptible to defects, the ultimate in cleanliness and temperature control is required.
