CONT

... experiments in Kibo's Pressurized Module are collectively called the "Multiuser Experiment Facility". It is being developed to satisfy various needs of researchers so that it can be used to conduct a variety of experiments. Five experiment racks containing Japanese equipment, a Freezer Refrigerator rack to store experiment samples and medicine, and stowage racks to store experiment samples and equipment are available in Kibo's Pressurized Module.

OBS

A part of the International Space Station that Japan is responsible for is an experiment module named "Kibo," or "hope" in Japanese ... Kibo will consist of a Pressurized Module, an Exposed Facility, an Experiment Logistics Module - Pressurized Section, an Experiment Logistics Module - Exposed Section, and a Remote Manipulator System. The largest segment among these is the Pressurized Module, which will be a multipurpose laboratory of 11.2 meters in length and 15.9 tons in weight with a capacity to accommodate up to four crew members. The module will be equipped with ten experiment racks installed on walls, on which various experiments including material tests and life science experiments will be conducted. The air pressure in the module will be kept at one atmosphere, which is the same level as that on Earth, and the temperature and humidity will be also be controlled at a comfortable level to allow crew members to work in normal clothing.

OBS

JEM pressurized module: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

Record 10 1995-02-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Information Processing (Informatics)
  • Computer Graphics
CONT

Video compression ratios available from various vendors of full-motion video boards range up to 160 : 1 and perform adequately on standalone multimedia desktop platforms transmitting image data from CD-ROM or videodisk peripherals. However, these compression ratios will not be sufficient for effective transmission of complex videos and renderings that are being produced by engineering designers or even simpler videos in highly interactive multiuser networked environments. The solution, however, is already on the horizon in the form of fractional dimensional compression techniques(fractals) that can reach astonishing compression ratios of 10, 000 : 1. This is possible because fractals, despite their apparent complexity, have a very low information content and can be specified as relatively simple expressions. Fractal compression is obtained via mathematical functions that describe a sequence of transformations of an image and when applied repeatedly, converge on a unique fractal. Fractal compression algorithms can be incorporated in software or VLSI microchips and, if applied to a typical CD-ROM disk, should provide nearly seven hours of full-motion.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Traitement de l'information (Informatique)
  • Infographie
CONT

Le principe de la compression fractale réside dans la recherche de formes ou de motifs répétitifs dans une image, et dans le codage mathématique sous forme d'équations de ces motifs. Il est également possible de définir et d'exploiter des bibliothèques de motifs, afin d'améliorer la compression sur des séries d'images identiques.
