Vehicle Teleoperation Interfaces

Despite advances in autonomy, there will always be a need for human involvement in vehicle teleoperation. In particular, tasks such as exploration, reconnaissance and surveillance will continue to require human supervision, if not guidance and direct control. Thus, it is critical that the operator interface be as efficient and as capable as possible. In this paper, we provide an overview of vehicle teleoperation and present a summary of interfaces currently in use.     

Process control and risky decision-making: moderation by general mental ability and need for cognition

Human factors and ergonomics research could benefit from focusing more strongly on individual differences – especially trait variables. The present study suggests the analysis of moderator effects as a promising way to enhance understanding of trait variables and process control performance. Process control performance was studied by analysing moderator effects of general mental ability (GMA) and need for cognition (NC) on risky decision-making (RDM) and performance. Fifty engineering students were trained on a process control task using a computer-based simulation for three hours and tested twice thereafter. Risky decision-making was measured using a computerised gambling task while GMA and NC were assessed with questionnaires. Risky decision-making in interaction with each GMA and NC explained variance in performance over and above variance explained by the single effects. In conclusion, the analysis of moderator effects between individual difference variables and process control performance seems promising.

Practitioner Summary: Individual difference variables affect learning and performance, but have often not been studied to any great extent in human factors research. This article suggests a promising approach to studying individual differences – moderator analyses – and illustrates how such differences can lead to a better understanding of what determines process control performance.

Interactions between hotspots and the Southwest Indian Ridge during the last 90 Ma:Implications on the formation of oceanic plateaus and intra-plate seamounts

This study investigates the relationship between the hotspot-ridge interaction and the formation of oceanic plateaus and seamounts in the Southwest Indian Ocean.We first calculated the relative distance between the Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR) and relevant hotspots on the basis of models of plate reconstruction,and then calculated the corresponding excess magmatic anomalies of the hotspots on the basis of residual bathymetry and Airy isostasy.The results reveal that the activities of the Marion hotspot can...     

The Effects of Microstructure on the Tensile and Impact Properties of A 1.0% V, 0.2% C Steel

Abstract

This paper investigates the effects of various heat treatments on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a 1% V, 0.2 % C steel. This precipitation hardening steel was submitted to selective heat treatments, in order to produce a range of austenitic and ferritic grain sizes and structures.

The limitations of high austenitizing temperatures are examined, and the heat treatment which led to good mechanical properties are discussed in relation to microstructural features.

Résumé

Cet article traite des effets de divers traitements thermiques sur la microstructure et les propriétés mecaniques d'un acier 1% V, 0.2 % C. Cet acier, durci par précipitation, a été soumis à divers traitements thermiques sélectifs, de manière à produire des grains de dimensions et de structures austenitique et ferrique variées.

Les limitations dues à des températures élevées d'austénitisation ont été examinées, et le traitement thermique conduisant à de bonnes propriétés mécaniques sont discutés en relation avec les caractéristiques microstructurales.     

Study on the fluid/structure interaction at different inlet pressures in molded packaging

This paper presents the computational study of fluid/structure interaction (FSI) analysis in the molding process using the Mesh-based parallel Code Coupling Interface (MpCCI) method with finite volume coding (FLUENT 6.3) and finite element coding (ABAQUS 6.9). The FSI analysis is implemented on the molded package during the encapsulation process with different inlet pressures. Real-time flow visualization, deformation and stress of the silicon die during the encapsulation process are presented in this paper. A fluctuation phenomenon of the silicon die is found in the encapsulation process when the inlet pressure increases. The maximum deformation during the process is determined at different locations on the silicon die, calculated during the final stage of the filling process. The deformation and stress of the die is exponentially increased with increasing inlet pressure. The maximum stress on the solder bump is concentrated near to the inlet gate. Thus, the present FSI analysis approach is expected to be a guideline or reference and provides better understanding of the encapsulation process for package design in the microelectronic industry.
