ARM Aerial Facility (AAF) Dew Point Temperature from Gust Probe Sensor, Corrected and Merged with Nav Data
Merges the aafdewpoint.a1 data with aafnav.b1 data to make an aafdewpoint.b1 datastream that has only data in flight. Applies standard QC, as well.
ARM Aerial Facility (AAF) - Unmanned Aircraft Systems, Cloud Droplet Probe with QC and lat/lon/alt
The Cloud Droplet Probe (CDP) is designed to measure cloud droplet size distribution from 2 µm to 50 µm. The CDP and an appropriate data system can also calculate various other parameters including particle concentrations, effective diameter (ED), Median Volume Diameter (MVD), and Liquid Water Content (LWC). The b1 level adds standard quality control flags, and merges in flight navigation data.
ARM Aerial Facility (AAF) Water-based Condensation Particle Counter
The condensation particle counter (CPC) measures sub-micron aerosol particle number concentration by condensing fluid onto particles and causing them to grow to sizes that are easily detectable by optical scattering. The condensing liquid is typically an alcohol (e.g., butanol) or water. Depending on the CPC type, typical CPC instruments can count particles with sizes that range from 3 to 3000 nanometers (ultrafine CPC) or from 10 to 3000 nanometers (fine CPC).

A PC-Based Controller for Dextrous Arms
This paper describes the architecture and performance of a PC-based controller for 7-DOF dextrous manipulators. The computing platform is a 486-based personal computer equipped with a bus extender to access the robot Multibus controller, together with a single board computer as the graphical engine, and with a parallel I/O board to interface with a force-torque sensor mounted on the manipulator wrist.
One-Arm Interferometric Detectors of Gravitational Waves
This paper presents the interferometric detection of gravitational waves using multiple bounce parallel-beam systems. Results show it is possible to remove laser frequency fluctuations from an offset paralllel-beam interferometer without removing the gravitational wave signal.
The Thermal Design Evolution of the Phoenix Robotic Arm
An adequate warm-up heater approach was developed using analysis & previous Mars surface experience. In the worst-cold environment, all the actuators were able to warm to their minimum operating temperature within the required time. In the worst-hot environment, the maximum continuous actuator power dissipation during normal operations was determined. A mechanical thermostat provides best means to cope with a failed-on wrist heater & to ease RA operations planning.
