CURRENT FRAME BUFFER TECHNOLOGY IS NOT OPTIMIZED FOR USE WITH GENERAL PURPOSE PROCESSORS. THIS PROPOSAL IS FOR A PROGRAM TO DEVELOP A BREADBOARD FRAME BUFFER WHICH IS EFFICIENTLY ACCESSED BY SUCH PROCESSORS. THE FRAME BUFFER IS BASED ON THE VME BUS AND IS SCALABLE TO LARGE AMOUNTS OF IMAGE MEMORY AND VERY FAST IMAGE ACQUISITION RATES. ALL IMAGE DATA IS RANDOMLY ACCESSIBLE AT HIGH SPEED. ANTICIPATE ...

FOUR BEARINGLESS, SHAFT MOUNTED GENERATORS WITH OUTPUTS OF 10, 100, 500 AND 1000 WATTS OF 12-15 V DC WILL BE DESIGNED AND COMPUTER MODELED TO BE DRIVEN BY MODEL AIRPLANE SIZE RECIPROCATING ENGINES. DESIGN COMBINATIONS OF IRONLESS DISK AND IRON LAMINATION CYLINDRICAL GENERATORS USING RARE EARTH AND CERAMIC PERMANENT MAGNETS WILL BE MODELED FOR RELIABILITY WITH THE LOWEST WEIGHT AT THE HIGHEST EFFIC ...

ALONG WITH TREMENDOUS ADVANCES IN THE TECHNOLOGY SUPPORTING GRAPHICAL AND HEADS-UP DISPLAYS COMES A DIZZYING ARRAY OF OPTIONS FOR THE DISPLAY OF COMPLEX STATIC AND DYNAMIC INFORMATION TO PILOTS IN MODERN AIRCRAFT. TO DATE, RESEARCH ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF GRAPHICAL DISPLAY FORMATS AS AIDS TO DECISION-MAKING AND MONITORING HAS BEEN LARGELY EQUIVOCAL (JARVENPAA AND DICKSON, 1988) (SANDERSON, FLACK, ...
