Low-cost laboratory computing: Microcomputers in British psychology departments

Abstract: Over 25% of the 80 British psychology departments use microcomputers. This paper summarizes the types of processor, level of system integration, applications, and problems of these users. The Motorola 6800 is by far the most popular processor, but there is a growing number of Z-80 users. Useful microcomputers have been developed from chips, single-board evaluation kits, hobby products, and manufacturers’ development systems. Applications include front-end processing, networking, and stand-alone uses for data logging, process control, and the development of intelligent laboratory tasks. Emphasis is placed on the need to match system packaging and support facilities to the application.

Windshield Technology Demonstrator Program-Canopy Detail Design Options Study.

Abstract: : This report documents the work accomplished for the Windshield Technology Demonstrator Program. The studies, analyses, testing, and development accomplished during this program involved a total system approach required for aircraft canopies in the context of the continuing Air Force generic windshield development programs. State-of-the-art applications of new transparency materials have been devised from both military and commercial aircraft with major attention directed to the topics of bird impact resistance, structural design integration, systems integration, and design for maintainability and reliability. The authors and Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory (FEW) agree that the various disciplines and essential technical design concepts represented, including associated reports noted in Section IV, should all be utilized in arriving at an optimum design of the canopy system for any production aircraft.
