Book A Simulation Study of Emergency Lunar Escape to Orbit Using Several Simplified Manual Guidance and Control Techniques

Download or read book A Simulation Study of Emergency Lunar Escape to Orbit Using Several Simplified Manual Guidance and Control Techniques written by David B. Middleton and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fixed-base piloted simulator investigation has been made of the feasibility of using any of several manual guidance and control techniques for emergency lunar escape to orbit with very simplified, lightweight vehicle systems. The escape-to-orbit vehicles accommodate two men, but one man performs all of the guidance and control functions. Three basic attitude-control modes and four manually executed trajectory-guidance schemes were used successfully during approximately 125 simulated flights under a variety of conditions. These conditions included thrust misalinement, uneven propellant drain, and a vehicle moment-of-inertia range of 250 to 12,000 slugs per square foot. Two types of results are presented - orbit characteristics and pilot ratings of vehicle handling qualities.

Book Simulation Theory Simplified

Download or read book Simulation Theory Simplified written by Theo Brighton and published by Beyond Class Books. This book was released on 2024-02-14 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is our reality just an advanced simulation? This fascinating book takes an in-depth, multifaceted look at simulation theory, the controversial hypothesis that we exist within a sophisticated computer simulation created by a more advanced civilization. Walking the line between scientific investigation and philosophical speculation, the book traces simulation theory from its roots in ancient philosophy and thought experiments to contemporary models of physics, quantum theory, and computing. Covering historical context from Plato's Allegory of the Buddhist concepts of Maya and Shunyata, the book shows how humanity has long grappled with the idea that perceived reality is an illusion. It then analyzes modern scientific perspectives, including physicist Nick Bostrom's famous Simulation Argument, which proposes three startling possibilities for our existence. The book provides accessible coverage of relevant quantum physics experiments, highlighting how paradoxical findings in quantum entanglement, superposition, and double slit studies closely align with the mechanisms of a simulated reality. Beyond physics, further dimensions of potential evidence - from the eerie precision of nature's constants to the role of consciousness and limitations of human perception - are examined to paint a multifaceted case. This trip down the rabbit hole grapples with complex ethical dilemmas, simulation theory paradoxes, and the deepest implications for the meaning of life. Are we just information? Is free will an illusion? What are the implications for artificial intelligence and virtual reality? These questions and more await readers ready to gaze into the existential mirror of simulation theory. Those ready to open Pandora's box will never look at reality the same way again.

Book Integrated Power Devices and TCAD Simulation

Download or read book Integrated Power Devices and TCAD Simulation written by Yue Fu and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From power electronics to power integrated circuits (PICs), smart power technologies, devices, and beyond, Integrated Power Devices and TCAD Simulation provides a complete picture of the power management and semiconductor industry. An essential reference for power device engineering students and professionals, the book not only describes the physics inside integrated power semiconductor devices such lateral double-diffused metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (LDMOSFETs), lateral insulated-gate bipolar transistors (LIGBTs), and super junction LDMOSFETs but also delivers a simple introduction to power management systems. Instead of abstract theoretical treatments and daunting equations, the text uses technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulation examples to explain the design of integrated power semiconductor devices. It also explores next generation power devices such as gallium nitride power high electron mobility transistors (GaN power HEMTs). Including a virtual process flow for smart PIC technology as well as a hard-to-find technology development organization chart, Integrated Power Devices and TCAD Simulation gives students and junior engineers a head start in the field of power semiconductor devices while helping to fill the gap between power device engineering and power management systems.
