A computer model of the interaction between heart and artificial pacemaker is developed which simulates a variety of dual-chamber device responses in the context of 25 possible arrhythmia classes. The heart-pacemaker interaction (HPI) model includes specifications of cardiac, pacemaker, and noise distribution parameters which permit random simulation of pacemaker failure. It simulates random pacemaker output, capture, and sensing malfunctions. The model has been used to train an automated, knowledge-based algorithm designed to analyze paced electrocardiograms for pacemaker function and malfunction. By allowing the straightforward simulation of numerous arrhythmia/pacemaker failure scenarios, the model has significantly reduced the amount of clinical testing and therefore the development time otherwise required.< >

An analysis is presented of polyimides (PIs) exposed to heat and humidity stress over long periods. Electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were used to investigate the basic physical mechanisms that affect PI when stressed. The results show that changes are confined to a surface layer at the PI-air interface. ESCA data show significant changes at the PI-air interface and that the PI-Si interface remains unchanged. FTIR transmission data indicate that the bulk chemistry is unaffected by such exposure. The surface chemistry is characterized by a significant reduction in the pyromellitic dyanhydride (PMDA) moiety and changes in the bonding of oxygen. There appear to be changes in the imide structure for the PI surface, but the mechanisms of change require further study. This has reliability implications for microelectronic systems using PI as a dielectric.< >

One of the most complicated forms encountered in engineering design is that of the marine propeller. The complexities arise from the complicated hydrodynamic surfaces of the propeller blades and the complicated manner in which the blades are oriented with and attached to the hub. Where propeller blades are attached to the hub, the blade shape is blended into the shape of the hub. The geometry of this region is particularly complicated. The shape of the blend is called a fillet, and the blending region is called the fillet region. Sheet metal gages conforming to various blade surface contours are used in the manufacture and inspection of propellers. Five different types of gages define the shape of the propeller in different regions. Fillet gages are such gages that define the shape of propeller blades in the fillet region. This paper describes a new computer-aided method for designing fillet gages. Previous methods of fillet gage design required the designer to follow a complicated layout procedure of determining where a particular unfilleted blade contour intersected the hub. The design of the fillet was then done in another layout procedure. Newly developed numerical procedures incorporated in a computerprogram have reduced the time required to design a complete set of gages (including fillet gages) from up to several weeks to hours.

This paper sets forth computer systems architecture concepts for the combat system of the 2010–2030 timeframe that satisfy the needs of the next generation of surface combatants. It builds upon the current Aegis computer systems architecture, expanding that architecture while preserving, and adhering to, the Aegis fundamental principle of thorough systems engineering, dedicated to maintaining a well integrated, highly reliable, and easily operable combat system. The implementation of these proposed computer systems concepts in a coherent architecture would support the future battle force capable combat system and allow the expansion necessary to accommodate evolutionary changes in both the threat environment and the technology then available to effectively counter that threat. Changes to the current Aegis computer architecture must be carefully and effectively managed such that the fleet will retain its combat readiness capability at all times. This paper describes a possible transition approach for evolving the current Aegis computer architecture to a general architecture for the future. The proposed computer systems architecture concepts encompass the use of combinations of physically distributed, microprocessor-based computers, collocated with the equipment they support or embedded within the equipment itself. They draw heavily on widely used and available industry standards, including instruction set architectures (ISAs), backplane busses, microprocessors, computerprogramming languages and development environments, and local area networks (LANs). In this proposal, LANs, based on fiber optics, will provide the interconnection to support system expandability, redundancy, and higher data throughput rates. A system of cross connected LANs will support a high level of combat system integration, spanning the major warfare areas, and will facilitate the coordination and development of a coherent multi-warfare tactical picture supporting the future combatant command st

A new single-key-lock (SKL) mechanism used for implementing the access matrix of the computer protection system is proposed. The key selection is very flexible. The lock values are generated recursively based on the Newton's interpolating polynomial. The insertion of a new user/file into the system can be successfully implemented without recomputing all locks/keys. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We report the observation of electrically induced changes in transmissivity in Fabry-Perot devices consisting of spin-cast azo-dye/polymer films deposited between gold mirrors. In poled samples the observed modulation shows a linear dependence on the applied modulating voltage. The ratio of the transmissivity modulation observed using incident transverse magnetic polarization to that observed using transverse electric polarization is used to demonstrate that the electrooptic effect dominates the modulation. This is, to our knowledge, the first reported use of a polymeric thin film linear electrooptic material in a Fabry-Perot structure and demonstrates the use of etalons to enhance electrooptic effects in very thin films.
