We propose and discuss several AI-hard examples from perception and cognition that may be useful for distinguishing between human-level intelligence and artificial intelligence.","PeriodicalId":305765,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 2009 National Aerospace & Electronics Conference (NAECON)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121900562","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 IAD interfaces to one of several mixers in a Transform Domain receiver and uses four timeperiods: integration, amplification, conversion, and dump to provide signal projection onto a basis function (the filtering operation) with 80dB of resolution while allowing a low-to-medium dynamic range A/D to perform conversion of basis coefficients.

In the proposed mechanism, EVA card is a point-to-point TCP/IP communication directly interfaced with mission computer (MC) not via MIL-STD 1553B card. To support real-time embedded training (ET), data messages such as air-to-air, air-to-ground weapons and targets are integrated. The test results of operating flight program (OFP) with system integration laboratory (SIL) show that the proposed mechanism using the integrated message is improved up to 8.2 times on average in transmission speed compared with the conventional mechanism. And it is not needed the checksum process because of including in TCP/IP packet structure. Thus, it leads to achieve reliable transmission to the real-time constraints, required by military applications. Also, low-cost ETS can implement because MIL-STD 1553B card is removed.","PeriodicalId":305765,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 2009 National Aerospace & Electronics Conference (NAECON)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129986183","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}

First a linearization of the dynamics of the PM is performed with a steady state analysis of a controller design. Generalization to nonlinear dynamics is then presented.","PeriodicalId":305765,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 2009 National Aerospace & Electronics Conference (NAECON)","volume":"21 14","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132270750","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}

Built-in self-test (BIST) is regarded as a promising alternative to traditional test. Most reported ADC BIST research works try to replicate a production test scheme on chip. This approach requires input ramp with high linearity which is hard to achieve on chip. This paper investigates signal generator implementation issues of adapting stimulus error identification and removal method which was presented for production test into a practical ADC BIST solution. A stimulus generator using very small transistor count is presented. Extremely simple methods for generating small constant voltage level shifts are introduced and evaluated. Simulation results show that generated signals with less than 7 bits linearity, together with the simple level shifts, are able to test a 16-bit ADC to 16 bit accuracy level. These results demonstrate that accurate BIST of deeply embedded AMS blocks may be practically implemented on chip with very low overhead.","PeriodicalId":305765,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 2009 National Aerospace & Electronics Conference (NAECON)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125200891","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}
