Application of Human-Autonomy Teaming (HAT) Patterns to Reduce Crew Operations (RCO)

Unmanned aerial systems, advanced cockpits, and air traffic management are all seeing dramatic increases in automation. However, while automation may take on some tasks previously performed by humans, humans will still be required to remain in the system for the foreseeable future. The collaboration between humans and these increasingly autonomous systems will begin to resemble cooperation between teammates, rather than simple task allocation. It is critical to understand this human-autonomy teaming (HAT) to optimize these systems in the future. One methodology to understand HAT is by identifying recurring patterns of HAT that have similar characteristics and solutions. This paper applies a methodology for identifying HAT patterns to an advanced cockpit project.

Supersonic Crossflow Transition Control in Ground and Flight Tests

This paper describes the use of distributed-roughness-element (DRE) patterns along a Mach 2 design swept-wing leading edge to increase the laminar flow extent and thereby reduce drag. One swept-wing model was tested in a supersonic wind tunnel as well as beneath a supersonic flight vehicle. Wing model surface data acquired during these tests included pressures, temperatures, and boundary-layer transition locations. Similarities and differences in experimental results are discussed. While wind tunnel and flight results show some differences, the wind tunnel results still provide key insights necessary for understanding how to design effective DRE patterns for use in flight applications. Experimental results demonstrate a DRE flow control effect observed in flight similar to that observed in the wind tunnel. Finally, a different perspective is discussed concerning what flow control role RE patterns might perform in any future swept-wing laminar flow control applications.

Neural Networks Used to Compare Designed and Measured Time-Average Patterns

Electronic time-average holograms are convenient for comparing the measured vibration modes of fan blades with those calculated by finite-element models. At the NASA Lewis Research Center, neural networks recently were trained to perform what had been a simple visual comparison of the predictions of the design models with the measurements. Finite-element models were used to train neural networks to recognize damage and strain information encoded in subtle changes in the time-average patterns of cantilevers. But the design-grade finite element models were unable to train the neural networks to detect damage in complex blade shapes. The design-model-generated patterns simply did not agree well enough with the measured patterns. Instead, hybrid-training records, with measured time-average patterns as the input and model-generated strain information as the output, were used to effect successful training.

In particular, the analysis of the antenna radiation patterns utilizing a full scale mockup of the LANDSAT-D satellite is discussed. Test antennas included two S-Band shaped beam antennas, two S-Band omni unit radiators (to operate in array), a GPS antenna, an X-Band shaped beam antenna, and one S-Band high-gain parabolic antenna.

Miniature micromachined quadrupole mass spectrometer array and method of making the same

The present invention provides a quadrupole mass spectrometer and an ion filter for use in the quadrupole mass spectrometer. The ion filter includes a thin patterned layer including a two-dimensional array of poles forming one or more quadrupoles. The patterned layer design permits the use of very short poles and with a very dense spacing of the poles, so that the ion filter may be made very small. Also provided is a method for making the ion filter and the quadrupole mass spectrometer. The method involves forming the patterned layer of the ion filter in such a way that as the poles of the patterned layer are formed, they have the relative positioning and alignment for use in a final quadrupole mass spectrometer device.

Self-supervised learning of spatiotemporal thermal signatures in additive manufacturing using reduced order physics models and transformers

Microstructure control via additive manufacturing has enormous potential as manufacturers, materials scientists, and designers alike seek to exploit novel fabrication technologies to improve component performance. Recent works have demonstrated the feasibility of producing materials with controlled microstructures across various length scales. However, the experimental approach towards exploring the process-structure space can be laborious and costly. This is particularly true if also considering scan pattern optimization which is well suited for processes such as powder bed fusion electron beam melting. In this work we propose an approach for encoding additive manufacturing layer-wise thermal response signatures using self-supervised representation learning. Thermal simulations from a reduced order model are utilized to estimate the spatiotemporal response during printing. A machine learning framework, using video-transformers, is utilized to efficiently distill spatiotemporal patterns into a compact latent space representation. This latent state representation encodes the relevant physics which is then utilized to establish a data-driven process-structure model for an additively manufactured Ni-based superalloy. In conclusion, the proposed methodology could potentially be used towards in-situ process monitoring, scan pattern experimental design, and component qualification.

Design Studies for a TPC Readout Plane Using Zigzag Patterns With Multistage GEM Detectors

Here, new design studies have been carried out for a readout plane for gas electron multiplier detectors using zigzag patterns that can significantly reduce the readout channel count while preserving excellent spatial resolution for tracking detectors. While zigzag patterns have been used in a number of applications, these studies were designed to investigate the fundamental limits of charge sharing between the electrodes to optimize the spatial resolution and minimize the nonuniformities across the readout plane, while exploring the limits of manufacturing capabilities for producing the readout board. Simulation studies were carried out to optimize the readout electrode structure, and readout boards were produced with similar zigzag designs that were tested in the laboratory using a scanning X-ray source. These studies were aimed at developing a readout board for the new time projection chamber for the sPHENIX experiment at relativistic heavy ion collider, but can readily be used in other applications, including various micropattern gas detectors, such as Micromegas.

Automated biowaste sampling system feces monitoring system

The Feces Monitoring System (FMS) Program designed, fabricated, assembled and tested an engineering model waste collector system (WCS) to be used in support of life science and medical experiments related to Shuttle missions. The FMS design was patterned closely after the Shuttle WCS, including: interface provisions; mounting; configuration; and operating procedures. These similarities make it possible to eventually substitute an FMS for the Shuttle WCS of Orbiter. In addition, several advanced waste collection features, including the capability of real-time inertial fecal separation and fecal mass measurement and sampling were incorporated into the FMS design.
