didiwin?

can I

Yes?

Susan you got me. I was looking at the TV and didn't see any of my friends post. I turn back and missed it.
for your TOPP

The Master! Vici calls me Special Susan. You try to cheat me! Gotcha!

Susan, thanks for protecting me from the fox. I would have had to send Rachel(my dog) after the fox but you save her from running.

I wasn't trying to cheat you, I just like to beat Vici. Catch up with you over the weekend. I am going to sleep now.

So there's only 35 posts to go. You up for a chat? Let's drive the rest of them nuts!

Tami. YOU were the fox...pretending to be my friend yesterday, teaming up to beat Heidi, then asking her to team up to beat me....traitor! that's when you tried to cheat me.

Flying through with a G'Day SA6ers

Stop all the fighting girls hehe!

G'day Steve, how is your neck of the woods?

All good Broni

Finally finished my paper

How's things your way?

Yeah not too bad, been cut back to 3 days a week at work, not that I really mind as long as the finances can handle it.
Your Paper for what? Sorry bit out of the loop at the moment.

Liked your 'You know if you're Australian if..' It is scarily accurate!

A conference of Strutural health Monitoring.

It is scarily accurate!!!!

What the heck is Structural health Monitoring? Sounds like another Government initiative to waste time.

Ah now I get it, more Stuctural, strange use of Health but suppose it makes sense. So are you presenting the paper?

Yep. mine is titled "Interconnecting a flexible sensing array"

ABSTRACT

With an ever increasing push to include more health and usage information into aircraft systems, it becomes imperative that this does not come at the cost of extra weight. The potential weight increase, of including a greater number of sensors and associated computational power, can be offset by the advances being made in electronic miniaturisation. Moreover with the availability of MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) sensors, it is now possible to include large numbers of sensing nodes, without increasing overall weight.

Unfortunately a large number of sensor nodes create many problems, such as: how to power the devices; how to connect them in a logical and robust way; are control and health monitoring functions integrated or segregated; and, arbitration of conflicting data, etc.

This paper proposes a robust interconnection and communication method that uses a simple point to point topology, which enables both power and data distribution over a ‘single wire’ physical layer. This ‘single wire’ will enable the transmission to be made over many different physical mediums, e.g. acoustic wave, RF (radio frequency), optical etc. The discussion will include an example MEMS sensor array, which is currently under development by the authors.

You want to say that in layman terms hehe!
with your presentation.

Confussed?

OK, thanks I at least get the gist of it. Do you mean to say all the information will be transmitted by one wire/cable?

Get lots (hundreds/thousands) of sensors, stick them on a plane, connect them up and have them all talk to each other, to see what is happening to the plane, eg is it about to fall apart!

Oh good so you are in the middle of the sky and they will tell you it is about to fall apart??

Power and data over one wire (or say, sound waves) from one sensor to the next.

well hopefully long befor it falls apart!

That's what it sounds like to me, too. But I'm no engineer.

So do you have a sensor to tell you if the wire is faulty too?

My comment was meant as a response to the comment 5 posts above it.

More along the lines of, "you have used up this much of your life", based on the flying you have done.

Well that is good news.
Heidi you seem to have that many hats you wear could have sworn you would be and engineer as well hehe!

Hey Broni and Steve!
Great to see you doing more than just buzzing through, vdV! Pretty impressive paper - good luck with the presentation.
Broni - how lovely to have more time to relax here in Sudokuland!

vdV... would that be hooked up to a black box type recorder?

Yes you can tell if the wire is broken, have several paths to enable sending another way.

My father was an engineer, though.
