When Worlds Collide - Interactions Between the Virtual and the Real

February 1, 2001
Author(s)
Sanford P. Ressler, Brian Antonishek, Quandou (. Wang, Afzal A. Godil, Keith A. Stouffer
This paper explores issues surrounding interaction with virtual (computer generated) objects which are interfaced to real world devices. In addition a virtual room corresponding to a real physical room has been created to allow collaborative meetings with

A VRML Integration Methodology for Manufacturing Applications

August 24, 1998
Author(s)
Sanford P. Ressler, Afzal A. Godil, Quandou (. Wang, G S. Seidman
This paper describes several methods for using the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) as the visualization integration tech-nology for manufacturing simulation systems. One of our goals was to develop an integration methodology based on the use of

Validation Testing System Reusable Software Component Design

January 1, 1992
Author(s)
KC Morris, David A. Sauder, Sanford P. Ressler
The ISO STandard for the Exchange of Product model data (STEP) addresses the need to share data across multiple enterprises and hardware platforms by providing information models which clearly and unambiguously describe data. The validity of these

Experiences with Heterogeneous-Platform CD-ROM

January 1, 1991
Author(s)
Sanford P. Ressler
This paper describes some experiences creating a CD-ROM (compact disc, read-only memory) functional software for both the Macintosh and IBM PC compatible computing platforms. The CD-ROM is intended to be used by individuals involved in the development of

The National PDES Testbed Mail Server User

January 1, 1991
Author(s)
Sanford P. Ressler
As part of the National PDES Testbed Project, the Information Services Center has established a facility to electronically distribute documents. This facility is based on software known as an archive server or mail server. Electronic documents may be

An Overview of the Product Data Hyperstandard CD-ROM Prototype

January 1, 1990
Author(s)
Sanford P. Ressler
The paper describes the contents of the Product Data HyperStandard CD-ROM Prototype containing information related to product data standards. HyperStandard is a generic term describing the application of hypertext and multimedia technologies to standards

Development Plan: Configuration Management Systems and Services

January 1, 1990
Author(s)
Sanford P. Ressler, Susan Katz
This document describes a plan to establish configuration management systems and services to serve the needs of both international and national efforts. The National PDES Testbed was established at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

VOILA: A System for Looking at Processes

January 1, 1989
Author(s)
Sanford P. Ressler, Steve Clark
The ability to visualize data is becoming an increasingly important research field in its own right. How do scientists present, view, and communicate the information contained in data, systems or programs in meaningful ways? This paper presents one

Computers Viewing Artists at Work

January 1, 1988
Author(s)
Russell A. Kirsch, Sanford P. Ressler, J Kirsch
Our title suggests an Artificial Intelligence approach to the use of computers in the fine arts. We consider computers to have capabilities beyond the utilitarian ones of aiding in art making. Rather, we will investigate the possibility of computers seeing

Converting the AMRF Part Model Report to a PDES/STEP Subset

January 1, 1988
Author(s)
Yung-Tsun Lee, Sanford P. Ressler
This paper identifies the process through which the Topology and Geometry of product data defined in the AMRF (Automated Manufacturing Research Facility) Part Model database report are converted to the PDES (Product Data Exchange Specification)/STEP

The Incrementor: A Graphical Technique for Manipulating Parameters

January 1, 1987
Author(s)
Sanford P. Ressler
The incrementor is a visually compact, flexible, and consistent mechanism for modifying the variables presented to the user. A locator (i.e., mouse) with two usa-buttons is the required input device. The names of the variables appear in the center of one

Using the AMRF Part Model Report

January 1, 1987
Author(s)
Sanford P. Ressler
The AMRF (Automated Manufacturing Research Facility) Part Model is a data format used to represent the information characterizing a part to be manufactured in the AMRF. The Part Model representation includes descriptions of a part''s geometry, topology

The Geometry Modeling System User

March 1, 1986
Author(s)
Steve Clark, Sanford P. Ressler
The Geometry Modeling System (GMS) is an interactive graphics program which allows the definition of the features, functionality and tolerances of a part defined in the AMRF part model report format. The geometry and topology of the part is previously
