QUADRATURE, RF COIL ARRAYS FOR MUSCULOSKELETAL MRI

Not Available A Java Based Automatic Test System (ATS) and Test Program Set (TPS) Development Environment is proposed as a software for new systems development and for rehosting legacy TPS. The technical objectives of this effort are: develop a comprehensive Java based ATS software architecture, develop a prototype ATS and simple TPS to demonstrate cross platform compatibility and to fully document the results. The benefits of commercial ATS with such open, robust architecture is that it will greatly diminish the effects of obsolesence due to proprietary aspects of a given design. It will allow for common development and integration of other software tools and utilities that will greatly assist in TPS re-host, development, documentation and program development to the DoD and Aerospace arena. With such DoD and Aerospace technical capability, the commercial industries will be interested in its capabilities for system level testing and repair. This effort is taking advantage of an emerging software technology and concept, embedded in Java and merging it with the technical testing know how of the military ATS discipline.
