This paper describes an information distribution system that merges the personal computer (PC) and facsimile technologies to enhance and expand the capabilities of existing stand-alone facsimile machines. The goal is to identify and develop mechanisms to reliably dispatch or receive a page of text or graphical material to or from any place worldwide within one minute. To allow universal compatibility, the system is designed based on the CCITT recommendations for Group 3 fax apparatus. Automated sending and receiving processes are devised in a user-friendly, menu-driven environment to minimize human intervention. The information dispatching mechanism is integrated with existing PC wordprocessors, graphics editors, and image databases. In addition, the system software is implemented at the application layer of an OSI LAN model as a fax server to provide a cost effective solution for information exchange that rivals existing document delivery system.

A real-time tactical decision generation system for air combat engagements, Paladin, has been developed. A pilot's job in air combat includes tasks that are largely symbolic. These symbolic tasks are generally performed through the application of experience and training (i.e., knowledge) gathered over years of flying a fighter aircraft. Two such tasks, situation assessment and throttle control, are identified and broken out in Paladin to be handled by specialized knowledge-based systems. Knowledge pertaining to these tasks is encoded into rule bases to provide the foundation for decisions. Paladin uses a customer-built inference engine and a partitioned rule-base structure to give these symbolic results in real time. An overview of knowledge-based reasoning systems as a subset of rule-based systems is provided. The knowledge used by Paladin in generating results as well as the system design for real-time execution is discussed. Paladin uses artificial intelligence techniques to address air-to-air combat and agile aircraft in a clear and concise manner. The Differential Maneuvering Simulator offers a unique opportunity to evaluate the performance of the Paladin software in a real-time tactical environment against human pilots.< >

Analytical and numerical techniques formulated to model uniform and nonuniform lines are used to compute signal delays distortion and crosstalk in interconnects and packaging. The techniques presented include the use of CAD compatible circuit models and computational techniques based on time and frequency domain solution of multiconductor lossy interconnects. Typical numerical results for the pulse propagation characteristics of uniformly and nonuniformly coupled interconnects are presented.

High density interconnections are essential for high performance systems. For excellent signal fidelity it is essential to design interconnects as controlled impedance transmission lines in these systems. Results from design studies are summarized in this paper. Effects of substrate and conductor properties on the interconnect parameters are emphasized. Crosstalk noise is proportional to interconnection density. Crosstalk can be analyzed in SPICE using a set of isolated transmission line and congruence transformers synthesized with dependent sources A SPICE subcircuit for a pair of coupled interconnections is presented. Using this subcircuit crosstalk calculations are illustrated for systems based ECL and CMOS technologies. High density interconnects have considerable resistance. Results of a theoretical analysis of the time domain reflectometer (TDR) responses of a lossy interconnect are presented. These results can be used to determine the impedance and the effective resistance of the interconnections using a TDR. This technique is especially useful for digital systems using lossy transmission line approach.

modeling the state of knowledge a student has during a problem solving process is one of the most difficult tasks in intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) research. The paper describes the implementation of an ITS that teaches CMOS digital circuit design. The overall goal is to teach circuit design at the undergraduate level, while the specific aim is to design a student modeling module (SMM) that evaluates a student's response to a circuit design problem. The SMM classifies concepts used (or not used) by a student in four categories: known concept, misconception, missing concept, and forgotten concept. Based on this generic categorization of student's knowledge of design and domain concepts, the tutoring module selects appropriate problems and level of explanations in a manner that facilitates highly individualized instruction.< >

New model-based approaches to digital halftoning are proposed. They are intended primarily for laser printers, which generate 'distortions' such as 'dot overlap'. Conventional methods, such as clustered-dot ordered dither, resist distortions at the expense of spatial and gray-scale resolution. Our methods rely on printer models that predict distortions and, rather than merely resisting them, they exploit them to increase, rather than decrease, gray-scale and spatial resolution. We propose a general framework for printer models, and find a specific model of laser printers. As an example of model-based halftoning we propose a modification of error diffusion, which is often considered the best halftoning method of CRT displays with no significant distortions. The new version exploits the printer model to extend the benefits of error diffusion to printers. Experiments show that it provides high quality reproductions with reasonable complexity. The quality of printed images obtained using the new technique on a 300 dots/inch printer is comparable to the quality of images obtained with traditional techniques (e.g. 'Classical' screening) on a 400 dots/inch printer. Model-based halftoning can be especially useful in transmission of high quality documents using high fidelity gray-scale image encoders. As we show in a companion paper, is such cases halftoning is performed at the receiver, just before printing. Apart form coding efficiency, this approach permits the halftoner to be tuned to the individual printer, whose characteristics may vary considerably from those of other printers, for example, write-black vs. write-white laser printers.
