3-D SCAFFOLDS FOR TISSUE ENGINEERING CARTILAGE REPAIR

Not Available Test and evaluation (T&E) operations and applications share many common needs for synchronized real-time display and post-mission playback of test mission data. This is a difficult problem for which existing solutions fall short of desired capabilities in terms of the efficient and practical integration of diverse components. We propose an innovative software based solution to integrate the ability to gather, display, record, process and playback multiple sources of real-time data. Our solution, based upon our Ring Buffered Network Bus (RBNB) technology, greatly improves the efficiency to the T&E analysis and reporting capabilities. Our innovation uses portable Java code and standard networking protocols for deployment on most modern computers, including cost effective PCs. It provides multi-input multi-output buffer(s) between data sources and destinations. This decouples connected applications, enabling time-synchronization of multiple real-time data sources, with simultaneous asynchronous data access from multiple on-line display and analysis stations. Merging time-synchronized data from multiple sources can occur in real-time or after the fact. Attached to an RBNB backbone, data acquisition and processing applications collaborate to provide high performance integrated systems. Enabling the interconnection of re-usable, modular legacy and custom components, our innovation greatly enhances the efficiency and performance of large scale data distribution systems.
