The Airbus A350 will follow by 2013. Composite material has been incorporated in airliners for many years. Composites have great advantages as a material of construction for aircraft. It has a high strength to weight ratio and the resulting aircraft weighs significantly less, producing a fuel savings. Composite materials have been associated with aircraft accidents as well. For instance, in the accident involving American Airlines Flight 587 the tail fin of an Airbus A300-605R came off the aircraft after takeoff from JFK Airport. Visual inspection is the primary means of detecting composite damage. However, in remote locations in the world where commercial airliners fly there might not be trained inspectors who can adequately inspect composite structure for damage. In this paper we discuss how we used LIDAR scans of a composite test article projected in a three (3) dimensional, immersive environment to determine whether we could see surface damage. Our proof of concept experiment showed that we could see all the damage we had inflicted on the part, along with some of the existing damage on the test article. The combination of the two technologies, LIDAR and three (3) dimensional, immersive environments, have great promise in providing means to visually inspect composite materials under a variety of conditions.","PeriodicalId":222377,"journal":{"name":"2012 5th International Conference on Human System Interactions","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127290498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Computational Theory of Mind and its relationship to the description of systems are explained. The interaction of human computational systems with functional, symbolic, and semantic systems is considered. One conclusion is that semantic systems are easier to interact with as long as they can be trusted to really be semantic systems and in the semantic states the human deduces they seem to be in. A general approach to engineering systems is to use subsystems with different levels of description but be clear about what these are for each subsystem.","PeriodicalId":222377,"journal":{"name":"2012 5th International Conference on Human System Interactions","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122654424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In fact, the motion which is required some processes of works is achieved according to integrated reproduction of these motion components. By using the proposed method, the design procedure of integration of the motion components is very easy, and the saved motion components are integrated smoothly.

It has been suggested in previous work that some bugs are only identified as vulnerabilities long after the bug has been made public. These vulnerabilities are known as hidden impact vulnerabilities. This paper discusses existing bug data mining classifiers and present an analysis of vulnerability databases showing the necessity to mine common publicly available bug databases for hidden impact vulnerabilities. We present a vulnerability analysis from January 2006 to April 2011 for two well known software packages: Linux kernel and MySQL. We show that 32% (Linux) and 62% (MySQL) of vulnerabilities discovered in this time period were hidden impact vulnerabilities. We also show that the percentage of hidden impact vulnerabilities has increased from 25% to 36% in Linux and from 59% to 65% in MySQL in the last two years. We then propose a hidden impact vulnerability identification methodology based on text mining classifier for bug databases. Finally, we discuss potential challenges faced by a development team when using such a classifier.","PeriodicalId":222377,"journal":{"name":"2012 5th International Conference on Human System Interactions","volume":"520 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116206449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This interface helps the operator by taking a task and reduces his/her workload. However, the delay caused by the sensors deteriorates the synchronization performance and transparency of the MCBC. Therefore, synchronization performance improving method for MCBC utilizing an extended dual sampling rate observer (EDSR observer) is proposed in this research. The target motion is modeled as a motion with constant acceleration and the EDSR observer is utilized to estimate the present position of the target. The experimental results indicated that the synchronization performance was improved by 12.2 % in maximum error ratio and 14.8 % in root mean square error ratio. The experimental results indicate an improvement of the target operationality, which suggests the clear tactile sense transmission was achieved.","PeriodicalId":222377,"journal":{"name":"2012 5th International Conference on Human System Interactions","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126364235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The DOB estimates and compensates the system disturbances by using an inner-feedback loop in the range of its bandwidth. It includes the inverse of the nominal system model and a low pass filter (LPF) which determines the bandwidth of the DOB. The dynamic characteristic and bandwidth of the LPF directly affect the robust stability and performance of the system. The dynamic characteristic of the LPF can be adjusted by using Higher Order Disturbance Observers (HODOB). The bandwidth of the DOB is demanded to be as high as possible to suppress the system disturbances in a wide frequency range. However, it is bounded by the noise and robustness of the system. The conventional robustness analysis method which is based on the Small Gain theorem and unstructured uncertainties, unnecessarily limits the bandwidth of the DOB due to conservatism. The conservatism can be decreased by using the structured uncertainty based robustness analysis methods. In this paper, the robust stability and performance of the system with DOB/HODOB is analyzed by using the conventional analysis method and Singular Structured Values (SSV) that is based on the structured uncertainties. The pros and cons of these methods are shown. A general second order system model is analyzed and simulation results are given to show the validity of the proposed methods.","PeriodicalId":222377,"journal":{"name":"2012 5th International Conference on Human System Interactions","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128863610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
