Abstract:
Notre perception du monde est multimodale. Les différents sens (vision, audition, tactile, etc) sont coordonnés entre eux afin d'accomplir nos tâches quotidiennes. Dans le cas où un organe des sens connaît un dysfonctionnement, le système nerveux central est capable de remplacer ou de renforcer l'information manquante en faisant appel à d'autres modalités sensorielles intactes. Le cadre conceptuel de ce remplacement d'un sens par un autre est le paradigme de substitution sensorielle. Cette thèse se situe dans ce contexte et, pour explorer certains aspects de ce paradigme, exploite un dispositif d'électro-stimulation linguale, le Tongue Display Unit (TDU), une matrice de 12x12 électrodes destinée à restituer sous la forme de voltages variables des scènes visuelles sur la langue.L'efficacité de ce dispositif souffre de nombreux problèmes au rang desquels le problème de fading (atténuation) qui correspond à une perte rapide de perception du signal d'électro-stimulation par les sujets et celui de la fusion de perceptions multi-modales qui, nous le verrons, se complique avec l'usage du TDU. Dans cette thèse, nous proposons d'étudier l'effet sur la qualité de perception et sur l'atténuation du signal de l'adjonction au signal image de saccades et de tremblements, processus qui nous ont été inspirés par la vision. Nous étudions également la façon dont les sujets perçoivent un signal image en cas de multi-modalité perceptive (vision + substitution visuelle sur la langue) et l'effet que produisent des contradictions d'information dans ce contexte.Ce travail met en évidence l'importance de la présence de saccades ou de scintillement dans le signal d'électro-stimulation pour contrer les effets de fading : grâce à ces procédés, même lorsque les stimulations sont longues, les sujets continuent de percevoir correctement le signal image. De plus, les expériences de perception multi-modale et de contradictions nous ont permis de montrer que la perception d'informations de type image par l'intermédiaire du TDU était comparable à celle de la vision. Enfin, nous avons pu mettre en évidence un effet de fusion d'informations contradictoires entre la perception visuelle et linguale, connu dans le cadre de la fusion d'information visuo-auditives sous le nom d'effet Mc Gurck.La compréhension de l'effet de procédés destinés à améliorer la perception dans le cadre de la substitution visuelle et celle de l'importance des effets de fusion multi-modale dégagée au cours de thèse devraient trouver application dans de nombreux domaines où ces effets sont présents ou requis, en particulier dans le domaine émergent de la vision prothétique<br>Our perception of the world is by essence multimodal. Various sensory cues (vision, hearing, touch, etc.) are hence integrated to allow us the execution of daily life activities. When one sense organ is missing or impaired, in some circumstances, the central nervous system can replace or reinforce the missing sensory information by using reliable sensory information coming from an other intact sense organ. This doctoral thesis was designed to explore this so-called ‘sensory substitution' concept through the exploitation of a visual-to-tactile sensory substitution device. the Tongue Display Unit (TDU) is made of a 12x12 electro-tactile matrix capable of rendering visual scences on the dorsal part of the tongue.However, the effectiveness of this device suffers from numerous drawbacks among which two main problems : (i) the problem of ‘fading' (mitigation) which corresponds to a rapid loss of perception of electrostimulation signal by the individuals and (ii) the problem of multimodal fusion. In the present work, we propose to investigate these problems and their effects on the quality of perception, by (i) applying some eye-inspired mechanisms (micro-saccades) to the electro-tactile signal on the tongue, (ii) studying how individuals perceive a picture signal with multi-modal perceptual (visual stimulus + substitution on the tongue) and (iii) the effect produced contradictions of information in this context.This work evidence the importance of applying saccades and sparkle mechanisms in electro-tactile signal to resolve the problem of fading especially when stimulation periods are relatively long. Furthermore, the experiments we have conducted on multi-modal perception and contradictions suggested that the perception of image information through the TDU was comparable to that of vision. Finally, we were able to identify a conflicting information fusion effect between visual perception and electrotactile tongue perception. This phenomenon is known as Mc Gurck effect (fusion of visual and auditory information). Understanding the effect of these processes to improve the quality of perception through the visual substitution paradigm and the importance of multi-modal fusion effects during this thesis could be applied in various areas where these effects are present or required, especially in the emerging field of prosthetic vision

Abstract:
Flat screen displays such as CRT displays, liquid crystal displays and plasma displays are predominantly used for visualization of product models in computer aided design (CAD) processes. However, future platforms for product model visualization are expected to include 3D displays as well. It can be expected that different types of display systems, each offering different visualization capability will complement the traditional flat-screen visual display units. Among the 3D display systems with biggest potential for product models visualization are holographic volumetric displays. One of the most appealing characteristic features of these displays is that they generate images with spatial representation and that appear to pop out of the flat screen. This allows multiple viewers to see 3D images or scenes from different perspectives. One of the main shortcomings of these displays, however, is that they lack suitable interfaces for interactive visualization. The work reported in this paper focused on this problem and is part of a large research in which the aim is to develop suitable interfaces for interactive viewing of holographic virtual models. Emphasis in this work was specifically on exploration of possible interaction styles and creation of a suitable interaction framework. The proposed framework consists of three interface methods: an intermediary graphical user interface (IGUI) — designed to be utilizable via a flat screen display and by using standard input devices; a gestural/hand-motions interface; and a haptic interface. Preliminary tests have shown that the IGUI helps viewers to rotate, scale and navigate virtual models in 3D scenes quickly and conveniently. On the other hand, these tests have shown that tasks such as selecting or moving virtual models in 3D scenes are not sufficiently supported by the IGUI, and that complementary interfaces may probably enable viewers to interact with models more effectively and intuitively.

Abstract:
The US-APWR, currently under Design Certification review by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, is a four loop evolutionary pressurized water reactor with a four train active safety system applied by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. The digital Instrumentation and Control (I&amp;C) System and Human Systems Interface (HSI) system are to be applied to the US-APWR. This design is currently being applied to the latest Japanese PWR plant and to nuclear power plant I&amp;C modernization program in Japan. The US-APWR digital I&amp;C and HSI system (HSIS) utilizes computerized systems, including computer-based procedures and alarm prioritization, relying principally on an HSIS with soft controls, console based visual display units (VDUs) and a large, heads up, overview display panel. Conventional hard-wired controls are limited to system level manual actions and a Diverse Actuation System (DAS). The overall design philosophy of the US-APWR is based on the concept that operator performance will be enhanced through the integration of safety and non-safety display and control systems in a robust digital environment. This philosophy is augmented, for diversity, by the application of independent safety soft displays and controls. In addition, non-digital diverse automatic and manual actuation system is introduced. As with all the advanced designs, the digital systems open as many questions as they answer. To address these new questions, for an eight week period during the months of July and August 2008, an extensive verification and validation (V&amp;V) program was completed with the objective of assessing US operators’ performance in this digital design environment. (Robert E. Hall et al., 2008, “US-APWR Human Systems Interface System V&amp;V Results: Impact on Digital I&amp;C Design”, 17th International Conference on Nuclear Engineering, ICONE17-75176) [1] Over this time period, U.S. operating crews were subjected to exercise in Mitsubishi dynamic simulator. To follow up above mentioned V&amp;V activities, additional test during the months of this spring in 2009 has been carried out to resolve human engineering discrepancies (HEDs) induced from the previous evaluation and the participants’ comments and performance. Subjective and objective data were collected on each crew for each scenario and an extensive convergent measures analysis was performed, resulting in the identification of both specific design as well as generic conclusions. This paper discusses the digital HSIS of the US-APWR design, the V&amp;V program data collection and analysis, and the study results related to the ongoing discussion of the impacts of digital systems on human performance, such as workload, navigation, situation awareness, operator training and licensing.

Abstract:
Military diving operations are routinely conducted in what can be one of the most inhospitable environments on the planet, frequently characterized by zero visibility. The inability to clearly see the immediate operational environment has historically been a serious limitation to manned diving operations — whether the mission is ship husbandry, under water construction, salvage, or scientific research. U.S. Navy diving is an integral part of the nation’s defense strategy with a continuing requirement to conduct manned intervention in the water column. To ensure technical superiority across the entire spectrum of diving operations we must identify, exploit, and de velop technology to advance the state-of-the-art in diving equipment. This can only be achieved by investing in, and supporting, focused research and development with specific goals to further diving capabilities. Under a project sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), the Naval Surface Warfare Center-Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) has de veloped a prototype see-through head-up display system for a U. S. Navy diving helmet — the Divers Augmented Vision Display (DAVD). The DAVD system uses waveguide optical display modules that couple images from a micro display into a waveguide optic, translate the images through a series of internal reflections, finally exiting toward the diver’s eye providing a magnified, see-through virtual image at a specific distance in front of the diver. The virtual images can be critical information and sensor data including sonar images, ship husbandry and underwater construction schematics, enhanced navigation displays, augmented reality, and text messages. NSWC PCD is the U.S. Navy’s leading laboratory for research, development, testing, evaluation, and technology transition of diver visual display systems; with unique facilities for rapid prototyping and manufacturing, human systems integration and extreme environment testing. Along with NSWC PCD, the Navy Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU), and Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center (NDSTC) are co-located tenant commands at the Naval Support Activity Panama City (NSA PC). This paper provides a brief background on the development of diver head-up display systems, waveguide optical display technology, development of the DAVD prototype, results of diver evaluations, and recommendations for accelerated development of this game changing capability.

Abstract:
A remote-controlled inspection robot for nuclear facilities in underwater environment was developed. The Array system of Eddy Current Testing (Array-ECT) is installed on the existing robot that consists of the driving unit and the inspection unit with enlarged Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) camera. It can swim in the tank, crawl on the inner surface of the tank, stay on the inspection area and by its two devices, Array-ECT and enlarged CCD camera, start inspection. Array-ECT can record the color contour image, and also can display oscillograph. This technology had been developed in order to reduce worker’s radiation exposure and improve inspection-ability in nuclear power plants for some Radioactive Waste (RW) tanks. With conventional manual inspection, RW tanks must be examined with the sequence of (a) full drainage and decontamination, (b) scaffolding set-up with workers under high dose, and (c) manual inspection. As such, the inspection is time consuming and workers should have high radiation exposure. With the original robot that has only enlarged CCD camera, inspection can be performed without tank drainage and with minimum worker’s radiation exposure. However, it needs experienced inspector for interpretation of visual examination using enlarged CCD camera. Newly developed robot with Array-ECT and enlarged CCD camera can achieve the same performance using the original robot and an experienced inspector for visual inspection using enlarged CCD camera. The new feature added to the original design (i.e. Array-ECT) eliminates the need for an experienced inspector.

Abstract:
According to the CDC, 795,000 Americans are diagnosed with a stroke each year. Out of the all of the technology used to track the gait of a stroke patient, the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is growing in recognition and use. These are often used as wearable sensors for rehabilitation, with their small size and cost effectiveness. The purpose of this research is to detail the innovation of an android application with the ability to receive IMU data and present it through medically significant visual displays. The data from a device is received via bluetooth, and is transmitted in terms of angles roll (x axis), pitch (y axis) and yaw (z axis). The application displays this data to allow the user to track the position of the IMU in live time. The medical professional has the ability to input a desired set of angles, and track the proximity of a connected device to the target position. The data is presented visually through the coronal, transverse &amp; sagittal plane. When roll and pitch angles from the app were compared to angular values measured on a protractor, the average difference was +/− 0.366° and +/− 0.436°, in roll and pitch respectively. Along with the average accuracy being less than a 0.5° difference, the application has the ability to connect and track 3 IMU devices simultaneously. The data can be stored and exported. The greatest limitation is angular presentation latency. This creation has the potential to catalyze creation of an app that can track a high number of devices simultaneously, with high accuracy and low signal latency. The ability to track and position wearable IMU sensors using a smartphone or tablet offers an exciting future in rehabilitation, especially for recovering stroke patients.

Abstract:
Nuclear safety is one of the key issues for a nuclear power plant (NPP). The alarm system plays a critical role for the safe and efficient operation of an NPP which is a significant human-machine interface in the main control room. The multi-modular NPPs have multiple reactor modules coupled to one steam turbine. One critical problem for the multi-modular NPP is that the complexity of the alarm system is greatly increased, which threatens the human-factor safety and the operation reliability. On the other hand, the main control room usually suffers from too many alarms to be handled at the same time after the accident, which is difficult for the operator to find out specific initiating event and may cause severe accident. The High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor - Pebble bed Module (HTR-PM) which is under construction in Shandong province of China, is a typical multi-modular NPP with two reactor modules coupled to one steam turbine. In this paper, the architecture of the alarm system of HTR-PM is introduced. Different from conventional full-digital alarm system in the NPPs, a set of alarm tiles which are set up at the top of the large display panel are adopted to improve the alarm identification, and the alarm tiles are classified to groups of reactor 1#, conventional island, and reactor 2#, respectively. These alarm tiles cooperates with the alarm indication on the visual display unit to help to locate the accident location as soon as possible. The suppression design in case of alarm overloading are also discussed in this paper. Techniques like the dead band and first alarm indication are adopted in the alarm system of HTR-PM. Two kinds of suppression logics on condition and priority are discussed in the end of this paper. The work showed in this paper can contribute to improve the design of alarm systems in other NPPs, especial the multi-modular NPPs.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Measurement of sand build-up in the production separators has been a challenge for field personnel due to the limitations of current technologies. Nucleonic-type level profiler has been previously implemented in a few offshore locations but limited due to special handling and permit/license requirements of radioactive material involved. Therefore, this paper aims to present the acceleration of new non-nucleonic tomographic technology testing and qualification to measure accumulating sand in separators as well as multi-disciplinary approvals for fast-track field application. The general idea in tomography is to expose the target of interest to electrical signals and measure the response of the target. With the aid of mathematical models, it is possible to infer the distribution of different materials within the target from the responses. Results of tomographic measurements are displayed on a computer as a vertical profile. The tested tomographic solution was based on a tomographic technology called Electrical Tomography. The key idea in Electrical Tomographic image construction is to find a permittivity and conductivity distribution for which the observations predicted by the model are in good agreement with actual ET measurement data and hence profiling is to be created. The test was performed at the laboratory with a full tomographic profiler setup including a test probe sensor for profiling, electronics, and a computer unit. In addition to the tomographic instrumentation, a transparent plastic vessel was used for visual observations of the accumulated sand layers. Visual observations were made simultaneously with tomographic imaging. In the test setup, we had sand, water, emulsion, and oil. The samples were placed into a transparent vessel. It was visually observed that the probe sensor was able to distinguish "wet sand-water" interface and "water-oil interface" in all the tested conditions. At the end of the test, the sand layer was flattened and packed more tightly and the change in the layer thickness was seen in the tomographic image. We concluded that the resolution of the detection of the sand layer was in the range of 1-2 cm. The technology is novel as it is a non-nucleonic profiler and a field-safe technology to be used. The profiler is intrinsically safe and certified to the most demanding IECEx class to be used in Zone 0 hazardous atmospheres. Detailed engineering of the technology to be installed at one of the production separators has proceeded. Finite Element Analysis has shown that the system can withstand turbulent conditions within the multi-phase production separator.
