International upgraded their industrial process control computer
system at their graphite specialties manufacturing plant in Clarksburg,
West Virginia.
Updating
SCADA Systems at Virginia Power for Increased Capacity, Reliability
Major
Smelter Sets Production Records After Implementing New Computer
System
Owing
Success to Programming Acumen, Reliable Computing Platform
The
goal of ramping up production of rolled steel at BHP's Wollongong
plant is made easier by moving their mill control systems to a
real-time UNIX platform.
JPL
is a multi-mission laboratory, and as part of the California Institute
of Technology (Caltech) and a National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA) center, its primary mission is planetary exploration.
MODCOMP
has been a key player in the space shuttle program since its initial
planning.
Headquartered
in Charlottesville, Virginia, the NRAO operates major radio telescopes
throughout the U.S. NRAO began construction of the Very Large
Array (VLA) near Socorro, New Mexico in 1974 and it was operational
in 1980. The VLA represents the latest generation of radio observatories-
radio interferometers.
As
one of a kind in the free world, the cryogenic wind tunnel at
the Langley Research Center in Hampton for the first time enables
researchers to attain full-scale values of fluid dynamic measurements
called Reynolds numbers.
The
free world's aircraft and spacecraft owe a debt of gratitude to
a government installation in Hampton, Virginia. Since the 1920's,
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Langley
Research Center (LaRC) has been committed to basic and developmental
research in continuing the nation's leadership in aerospace technology.
