Subject field(s)
  • Military Organization
CONT

In order to accomplish the full spectrum of Alliance missions, the NATO Command Structure is supported by the NATO force structure. The force structure provides three broad categories of forces, in-place forces primarily for collective defence and deployable forces, both held at graduated readiness levels. The third category known as [long-term build-up] forces which provide forces generally associated with generation of capabilities for large scale Article 5 operations held at very low readiness.

Subject field(s)
  • Translation and Interpretation
  • Computer Processing of Language Data
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

Unlike [in dialogue-based machine translation], in transfer-based MT(TBMT) the process is separated into three steps – source text analysis, structural transfer of the analysis result to a structure suited for the target language, and target language text generation. The transfer rules depend on the language pair selected for translation.

CONT

Smart eyewear is defined as eyewear incorporating a near-to-eye display. As used herein, near-to-eye display means a display, device, or system, such as a retinal projector, virtual retinal display, visualization element, head-mounted display, heads-up display, or other near-to-eye system, typically worn on the head of a user that generates an image near the eye. In a smart eyewear configuration, a display device is often mounted adjacent to an edge of each of the wearer’s eyes and an image is typically displayed in the center of each lens. The location of the displayed image, therefore, forces the wearer to gaze in a direction to view the image generated by the display. Typically positioned near the user’s eye, the display is aligned to the central region of the user’s field of view to allow review of the displayed information with little or no head movement. This enables the user to view the display while also viewing the area outside the central region and interacting with the surrounding environment. In another embodiment, the displayed image is aligned to a region other than the central region of the user’s field of view.

CONT

Near-eye display devices are configured to present images to a user via a display that is positioned close to the user’s eyes. For example, a head-mounted augmented reality display device may be worn on a user’s head to position a near-eye display directly in front of a user’s eyes. A near-eye display may be at least partially see-through to allow a user to view a real-world background in combination with displayed virtual objects. This may allow virtual objects to be displayed such that the virtual objects appear to exist within the real-world environment.

CONT

The technology provides one or more embodiments of a near-eye display(NED) device system. An embodiment of a NED device system comprises a near-eye display device including a near-eye support structure and a near-eye display(NED) supported by the near-eye support structure and having a display field of view. The NED system further comprises an image generation unit supported by the near-eye support structure which outputs image data which is optically coupled to the near-eye display(NED).

OBS

near-to-eye display; near-eye display: data validated by Canadian subject-field experts from École Polytechnique de Montréal, MasterpieceVR and McGill University.

A description most commonly applied to the work of a generation of American painters... Field painters treat the picture surface as a continuous or extended plane, the whole picture is regarded as a single unit so that figure and ground tend to be given equal value. Colour-Field painters replace tonal contrasts and brushwork by solid areas of colour which extend, in most cases, across the canvas from edge to edge.... Colour is liberated, in this type of painting, from any limitation imposed by internal forms or structure.... most Colour-Field painters work on a monumental horizontal scale and their canvases are intended to be viewed at close quarters...

CMC Blisk Material Development and Testing. Engineers at MSFC are developing fabrication processes and designs for ceramic matrix composite(CMC) components through material and component testing, structural modeling, microscopy, and nondestructive analysis techniques. CMCs will be utilized extensively on future generation launch vehicles for propulsion systems and for vehicle hot structure. They are necessary to enable lightweight components capable of operating over a wide temperature range. These advantages translate into increased safety and lower cost compared to state-of-the-art materials. MSFC is primarily responsible for developing CMCs and transitioning them into propulsion applications such as cooled and radiation cooled flow paths, thrust chambers, integrally bladed disks(blisks) and nozzles. Hot structures for leading edge and control surface applications are also supported.

To become applicable, most didactic strategies must be combined with the constraints provided by the structure of the domain and with the resources provided by the model of expertise. In general, the problem of merging didactic and domain knowledge dynamically-a theme of further work on MENO-TUTOR(Woolf and McDonald, 1984a)-can be quite complex. The resulting articulation is critical to pretting curriculum decisions and explanation generation under the system's control.

Separating the domain knowledge base from the teaching knowledge provides tremendous engineering efficiency, allowing the teaching knowledge to be more clearly formalized, evaluated, and reused.
