There's always someone-- it's usually like a woman in her '40s or '50s that was brought there by a son or just kind of brought there because controller , but games are kind of like art, right?
OK. So now, they have a little bit of logic running on the PLC itself. This controller , it actually controls the operation of all these centrifuges. But they don't know that they're centrifuges yet.
there's a magic machine, but mostly it's super good temperature control in the machines. temperature controller --anyway, it controls temperature perfectly. The next thing is something called pressure profiling. And that's just now happening.
As far as the work that we're planning, right now when we run our anomaly detection algorithms, the controllers and other experts have given.
Now, that controller is not directly connected to centrifuges. What happens is that controller is connected to a set of communications processors, which are basically routers. That's a fancy name for a router that basically controls groups of devices.
To me, what a position to be in. As a flight controller , I'd have given anything to be in a position to make a call like that. And of course, those opportunities just don't come along very often.
We flew it twice on Endeavour, and it was just a lot of fun. To a flight controller , you're just looking at displays.
So one thing that we were told by our domain experts is that this was in an air space where there may have been controllers handing off the aircraft, so meaning maybe one controller was managing it and then he was supposed to handoff to another controller because he reached, say, a boundary in the air space.
If you flip that plate over, you see on the right the star tracker digital processing unit. That's the controller for the star tracker. You see the transponder, the s-band RF transponder there.
The outside is this pointed telescope with a three level pointing system, coarse, fine and then the server link system. Inside is the controller unit which is, once again, processor just like the spacecraft has. And also the modem unit.
And you've got a series of armored video cameras that can be replaced if they get broken that allow the thing to basically run through a Go Pro to a Game Boy controller , and the guy drives it around the streets of Aleppo using basically home consumer entertainment technology to control it.
And we were going to send it someplace really far away, like Texas. So the flight controller said well, time delay is making things harder.
That's the living room at the house, up against the thermostat. That's the controller for the ceiling fan on the wall. There's our magic world in there.
male #3: So to follow that up, we might have some Android developers here interested in what's missing from that. So having a physical controller would be awesome.
We do have some high power relays. We do have some tutorials. The reflow toaster controller is one where we try to turn on and off a toaster oven to help with reflow. We also have some other products that now allow you from a 5-volt pin to turn on and off a very good extension cord effectively.
these things look like-- and you have a set of numbers, and you know what they're supposed to look like, and they are going crazy all over the place. And the flight controllers on the ground have to put this puzzle together and figure out what's going on. It is not like "Star Trek," where Mr. Spock looks into his little sensor and the light shines out and he says, this is exactly what's going on, Captain.
So they hypothesized that this particular area where this happened may be a so-called hot spot where there maybe are more likely to be problems because of handoffs to other controllers . So this is one where there was a go-around that happened due to high speed.
It just sounds just like the railroads of the 19th century. We have TV controllers .
And we were going to send it someplace really far away, like Texas. Some of our flight controllers got to do ultrasounds for the first time.
And we were going to send it someplace really far away, like Texas. Both crews and flight controllers can make use of this.
get up and actually be physically involved with the sound. And these little game controllers here are about $15. They were made for a golf game.
avatar of your golf player shows up on the screen. They're fantastic music controllers . We had to go in and hack them a little bit to have them work for us, but they've become pretty widely used in laptop
We flew it twice on Endeavour, and it was just a lot of fun. That's my model view controller .
There are actually very few jobs that require multitasking. One of them is air traffic controller . Another is simultaneous translator at the UN.
to read, but you might be able to see that this is ECLSS, Environmental Control and Life Support Systems. So if you're a flight controller who's responsibility is ECLSS, you care about what the atmosphere inside the spacecraft is composed of. Is it to hot?
And we were going to send it someplace really far away, like Texas. So we had a power systems flight controller , thermal systems, chief medical officer, operations planning, and so on and so forth.
Earlier, you played with that controller , game controller , with strings attached. So Microsoft Xbox has this motion controller where you use a video camera to see how your body moves. So have you think about tying that together with the music, the pianos?
I actually used work and development before. So there is a drug controller , for example.
to Germany to be like the assistant controller . I was like, 26 or 27. That was a big job for me when I was 26 or 27.
today as the number two controller person in Germany, which for me would have been a missed opportunity.
and they used an Arduino controller and they kind of just created a polished kit that made
And we were going to send it someplace really far away, like Texas. But all of our crews and flight controllers were either certified flight controllers from the International Space Station or shuttle program.
And so especially for the ground controllers , that's huge to be able to nudge that camera slightly and get a
exhibiting the same symptoms as air traffic controllers and 9 111 operators you know why people get what we now call
OK? And in this case, that PLC is going to control this uranium enrichment. Now, that controller is not directly connected to centrifuges. What happens is that controller is connected to a set of communications processors, which are basically routers.
We flew it twice on Endeavour, and it was just a lot of fun. So if you get a software-ish flight controller , you can talk this language.
I mentioned we have the problem of being able to highlight certain problem areas or hot spots, if anomalies seem to show up in certain areas, and that may be indicative of say issues related to one controller handing off to another. Also, I mentioned about the idea of the recurring non-standard operating procedure maneuvers, these behaviors that
And that results in this cast of characters-- the controller , hyperachiever, restless, stickler, pleaser, and hypervigilant, and avoider, victim,
Destroyed by the Siemens they used a Siemens industrial controller Ed Yourden: Right.
And that was run off a standard industrial controller .
way is that you can use a PID temperature controller on it-- proportional integral derivative temperature controller , that does a lot -- is a much more sophisticated way of controlling
And so that kind of ingrains into the flight controllers and everybody who's getting trained at that point that, look, that is not the important thing.
all these positions operate together. -OK, all flight controllers , going to go for landing. Retro. -Go. -Fido. -Go.
First, our partners that ATAC, which is a company near the San Jose Airport that we're working with which has access to PDARS data. So they have people who are former air traffic controllers and generally are experts in this area. And they review these flights going through more or less in order from looking at the anomalous flights and seeing is there some kind of a safety concern there.
performance around the world, really. What else should I say about that piece or the controllers , other than that they're really cool, and I wish they still made them? The other thing maybe I'll comment on briefly are these shiny little speakers.
Our first goal for our project is to have ground controllers driving the SPHERE around on the space station.
747s are badly secured Solaris boxes connected SCADA controllers .
One of the most popular is actually the Wii controllers which have a lot of very cheap sensors in them and it would be almost as expensive to buy them separately. So again,
So in this case, there's not really a safety issue here, but the safety analyst did point out that since this is not really following the standard operating procedure, if a new controller comes online, that person may not be used to this, may cause some difficulties or may raise alarms where it's not really needed.
They have a funny little device on them called an EV manual controller .
