Knowledge Acquisition for ATE Diagnosis

An applied intelligence program for ATE fault diagnosis shows promise as an effective method to reduce mean time to repair (MTTR). The types of knowledge required by an intelligent diagnostic for VLSI test systems, the resources needed to derive that knowledge, the approach implemented to organize it, and the final form of the knowledge representations which resulted from our work are discussed in this paper.     

Cruising Cautiously into Old Chengdu:A Bicycle Adventure in Two Parts Part Ⅱ: Small Muddy Field Road

Reluctantly, I rode back to Zhimin Lu and passed the horrid Athens Towers. At Xinnan Lu I turned right and crossed the Fu River. On the other side of the river Xinnan Lu turns into Hongxing Lu.     

Robotic Air Vehicle: A Pilot's Perspective

This paper focuses on concepts and technologies required to develop a robotic air vehicle (RAV). A vehicle of this type has the capability to be a launch and forget weapon system. The authors are engineers and pilots so they view both the technical approach and piloting issues with equal importance. RAV must have the machine intelligence to make decisions within the mission and battlefield constraints. This requires a piloting expert system and route planner to perform passive terrain following, terrain avoidance, obstacle avoidance, and autonomous navigation based on low cost sensor inputs such as a multifunction FLIR, digital terrain map, and directional reference systems. RAV is a cost effective way to fight in a threat environment where aircrew loss rates would be unacceptable. RAV provides the Air Force a means to expand its combat capabilities.
