Voice activation provides a safe and convenient method of controlling vehicle systems such as in-car entertainment, telecommunications and climate control. In the fullness of time it is likely that there will be a high demand across all vehicle classes for such systems for a wide range of vehicle control functions. One of the challenges facing their development and introduction into vehicles is that of the in-vehicle noise environment.

The electrical control systems for the column of the United States Steel Million Volt Microscope are designed to give the microscopist simple, yet versatile, one-man operation. The achievement of this goal was especially difficult because of the separate HV supply and accelerator, the necessity for remote control and the extremely wide range of operation. Even so, the control functions and operation closely resemble a conventional electron microscope.One of the unique characteristics of this instrument is the required alignment of the accelerator with the microscope. This alignment is aided by a motor-driven, retractable primary screen which is viewed with a television camera and displayed on a monitor in the control console. Column alignment is aided by deflection coils similar to conventional gun and condenser tilt deflectors but driven by special transistorized bridge circuitry. At the push of a button, a third set of coils combines with the condenser deflectors to give dark-field operation. It is possible to switch back and forth without adjusting controls. Apertures are motor driven and have coded pilot lamps to indicate position.

Abstract In recent years, increasing interest and requirement for improved vehicle performance, reliability and safety has focused attention on the use of Fault Detection & Isolation when designing vehicle control systems. In order to achieve this FDI schemes, particular vehicle subsystems integrated with a controller have been proposed. This paper introduces a new Model-Based Fault Detection and Fault Diagnosis method for monitoring the overall vehicle system performance.

“Cyber crime” has been used to describe a wide range of offences, including offences against computer data and systems (such as “Hacking”), computer related forgery and fraud (such as “phishing”), content offences (such as disseminating child pornography), and copyright offences (such as the dissemination of pirated content). The word “Cyber Crime” has been derived from the words “Cybernetic” which means the science of communication and automatic control systems in both machines and living things.
